The US soldier who ran across the border into North Korea Tuesday was facing multiple assault allegations as well as a fine for damaging a police vehicle. Army Private 2nd Class Travis King, 23, was accused of punching a man several times in the face at a club on September 25 last year, Seoul court records indicate. Two weeks later, on October 8, Korean authorities responded to another dust-up involving King, who was allegedly displaying “aggressive behavior,” according to the court documents. When police put him in the backseat of the patrol car, King reportedly spouted expletives and insults aimed

Stupid as hell. No matte what he did in South Korea or the USA, nothing that would happen to him will approach 10% of what the Norks have in store for him.
Life is all about choices.
This is the worst possible choice, and he'll regret it for the rest of his life...which might not be real long.

I hear they give captive Americans free dental work. Whatever punishment he was looking at on our side will seem like a picnic compared to what he'll get on their side.

My brother did two tours in Korea as a company commander and a battalion S-4. He had to deal with several people like this, as Army recruiting standards have been lowered due to their inability to make the numbers. They usually rotated home, to be processed out of the Army, and ended up in civilian jails after continuing to behave as they did in the Army. This yo-yo just took it to a whole new level. He'll have the rest of his life to regret this move.

I'd say the odds are he's going to suffer far worse from the North Koreans, after they get done pimping him to the press, then he would have from the Army. Idiot is the first word that comes to mind to me.

The rank of, “…Private 2nd Class…” does not exist in the US Army.
Yes, let the troublemaker stay with the Norks.

There are a couple of MP's soon to be busted down, he was under their escort OUT of the country to face disciplinary court upon his return to Base, they got him through airport security to the boarding area, then he somehow slipped them and joined a tourist group on it's way to the border. Did he go to the restroom? MP's didn't go in with him?(Maybe because they were females?) Was he in civvies at the time, or did he have them under his uniform? Methinks next prisoner/disciplinary transports will all be cuffed and flown on military planes instead of commercial.

Leave him there.
He's more trouble than he's worth, and he made the choice to go there.
Maybe the Norks can get some useful labor from him.

Reading about his history of this past year, sounds like he has an anger management problem. I have a feeling the North Koreans will find a cure for it.

We'll see how he enjoys eating tree bark and grass, until Joke Bidet and the Democrats agree to exchange some notorious North Korean spy we've held for the past ten years for King's worthless arse. Just like what Puddin' Head did for that tatted up, WNBA Lez Leftist held in Russia. Democrats never mind exchanging Bishops for Pawns.

He ran across the border while saying Ha Ha . Well, the joke is on him. Not only is he a trouble maker, he's a stupid and extremely dumb trouble maker. The North will interrogate him for a few days, throw him in jail, and then send him back believing this clown will degrade the U.S. military.

Looks like Biden’s woke military lost a little diversity and the North Koreans gained a little diversity? Who ever heard of a Private Second Class, as in my Army days and back in 1960-61 when I was an infantryman along the DMZ in Korea, enlisted men were known as Privates or Private First Class before they were promoted to higher enlisted ranks, it was the same when I was in Vietnam during 1968-69. There was never a Private Second Class rank.

The site, military-ranks.org, states a Private 2nd Class is an E-2 private, one rank above a recruit and a rank below a PFC or Private First Class (E3).

What a messed up fool. Now he is at the mercy of a government that is zero % his culture, zero % his race (and it is intensely racist), zero % his language, and brutally repressive to its citizens. He probably just destroyed and ended his life, the slow and hard way.

The only thing that North Korea hates more than Americans is black Americans. He will not have a good time there. The KKK are pikers compared to what they can or will do to him. Purity counts to them.

#24, the US Army does not have a "Private Second Class" and has not had one since just after WWI. The official rank abbreviation for a private in the second pay grade is PV2 and is referred to as "Private." So, Private Travis King or PV2 Travis King or even Private (E-2) Travis King.
But no "Second Class". The Army has opinions about calling its soldiers "second class", although in this case they may be right.
Find a site that is official, ending in "army.mil". Any site that ends in .com or .org is not official, and they say so, down at the bottom.

Come to think of it, the NY Post is probably using the AP Stylebook for this, because, you know, the AP knows just EVERYTHING about the Army.

The Norkcoms especially the head fat Korean and his twisted sister really love it when they can capture our military personal. Especially high-ranking ones with security clearances. Imagine their surprise (and glee) that one (lower ranked and apparently stupid) was dumb enough to run on into their country. Yes #29 the Knorks hate Blacks more than the Chinese do. I found that out while in the Navy at the Yokosuka Naval Base club after trying to dance with a Korean girl. Turns out her parents and grandparents were from the Hermit Kingdom, and she turned me down flat. Right after calling me their version of the N word. I wound up dancing with the Japanese American bartender and she wound up with our Chief Sonar Technician who was an arrogant clown, (and a closet racist) so all was good. That was 1989. So I hope that fool likes cardboard soup, moldy rice bowls, saltwater drip torture (I'd rather be waterboarded) and rabid dog pits. Also #14 Brandon's probably saving that for the Black lady "trucker" who is being detained in Dubai.
