White House skeptical of runaway soldier’s claims of racism in America
August 17, 2023
 

Seoul — The US government has said it could not verify Pyongyang’s statement that the soldier who crossed into North Korea without permission last month did so because he had ill feelings towards the army.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Thursday said the administration could not verify the report by the Korean Central News Agency and cautioned “everyone to consider the source.”

Several attempts had been made to contact Pyongyang through various channels, without success, a US State Department spokesman said on Wednesday.

On July 18, Private Travis King crossed without permission the demilitarized zone (DMZ) that separates the two Korean nations, who are still officially at war since a conflict in the 1950s.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

We should encourage people to do this who have these views.

If Trump were still POTUS, his claim would be declared by the media to be brilliant and insightful. :tongue2:

The catch-22 is this is the type of person the military really wants!  They don't want patriotic people. :nono:
