US Army worried about how North Korea will treat Private King

WASHINGTON, July 20 (Reuters) - The head of the U.S. Army expressed deep concern for Private Travis King on Thursday and said Washington was fully mobilized in its efforts to reach out to Pyongyang, including by using United Nations communications channels.

Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said it was still unclear why King ran across the border into North Korea but acknowledged that he was likely concerned about facing further disciplinary action from the Army upon his return home to the United States. She said there was no information to suggest he was a North Korea sympathizer.
 
"I worry about him, frankly," Wormuth told the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado, citing the case of Otto Warmbier, an American college student who died in 2017 shortly after being released by North Korea. "I worry about how they may treat him. So, (we) want to get him back."

I doubt the military is too awfully concerned about how N. Korea treats a traitor. :whistle:

Um, people who are dumb enough to voluntarily enter North Korea are stupid.  You can't fix stupid.

I don't care how he is treated and don't much care if NoKo keeps him. Once they learn what an out of control loser he is they'll probably just toss him back, though.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
