A North Korean Vacation
By 
Good lord this is a weird story. This young man was not satisfied with his deployment in Korea…
Pvt. 2nd Class Travis King is in North Korean custody after crossing the heavily fortified border “willfully and without authorization,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters on Tuesday.
King, who had recently been released from a South Korean prison, had been escorted by the military to Incheon International Airport outside Seoul, the capital, for possible further disciplinary action in the United States…
King was fined 5 million won (US$3,950) in February by a court in Seoul on charges including damaging public property, according to South Korean court documents. He was accused of repeatedly kicking a police patrol car in Seoul last year, causing several hundred dollars in damage.
He did not cooperate when apprehended by officers at the scene and was shouting profanities about Koreans and the Korean Army.
King has been serving in the Army since January 2021, according to U.S. Army spokesman Bryce Dubee. He was a cavalry scout assigned to the 1st Armored Division, The Associated Press reported, and had served almost two months in the South Korean prison for assault.
Whatever your troubles, Elderly Zoomers and Young Millennials, North Korea ain’t the answer.
