Correct, it was a UN multi nation action and the remains haven't been identified yet as officially belonging to any country. For all we know, Kim dug up one of his own cemeteries. Once identified, they'll be returned to the respective nations following remains protocols, then likely under the correct nations flag.

Agreed.  Cheers to President Trump.

11 Presidents have tried to get the remains back, yes, we will need some verification if possible.

That would mean,

Eisenhower
Kennedy
Johnson
Nixon
Ford
Carter

Yup.

Multiple Administration's have been fooled like that.  Fortunately,  this Administration wouldn't be so foolish as to give concessions like canceling joint exercises, until after confirmation that these remains are legit!

Uh, right?

All I'm saying is that it's premature to celebrate when we don't know what's really in those boxes.  As has been pointed out. NK has  in the past tried to pass off a number of substances as our soldiers' remains.  We have to remember that NK is our enemy and it's not wise to trust an enemy. 

Of course, once the contents of those boxes have been analyzed and if they are remains which can be positively identified as our soldiers -- then yes, I'll rejoice along with you and everyone else.  Trump will have indeed pulled off what past presidents could not have done and yes, he should be congratulated.  But I'm withholding my applause till the end.

Not really.  During three administrations, they had returned hundreds of remains.  It's one of the things they did to generate false goodwill, while cheating on their commitments.


Between the 1990 and 2005, more than 400 caskets of remains found in North Korea were returned to the United States, and the bodies of some 330 Americans were accounted for, according to the DPAA.

Decades-old remains that North Korea has handed over in the past have not always been identifiable as U.S. troops.

You are correct. This is being spun as something new but it is a regular occurrence that has been going on for a few decades.

They've had teams "find" remains that were obviously planted (skills that had been cut open and glued back together, etc.).

Don't trust the Norks.
