Well, that’s certainly a bold move

I’m pretty sure that whatever his charges are, defecting to north Korea was a bad idea.

If he’s lucky he’ll have a standard of living almost as high as federal prison.

How exactly do you know this? You’ve been there or just reporting what you heard from Western news?

I am curious why that soldier faced disciplinary action in the first place. US soldiers aren’t exactly famous for good ethics, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he committed acts heinous enough to warrant escape.

By the way, wouldn’t the DPRK just send him back?

I think he knew that and still made the choice. There’s a handful of US defectors in the DPRK because they were ideologically closer to communism than imperialism, so maybe he’ll fare as well as he hopes.

I mean, the only parts of Amerika that live better than the pen are the gateds on the coasts, and the former plantations; so I don’t know what you’re going on about there… I categorically refuse to denounce homeboy’s defection unless it comes out he was wanted for like-- sex crimes or smth. In which case, light him up on sight.
