    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.

      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.

      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 doubt this was ideological. He would have tried this earlier in his time in the military and likely wouldn’t have joined the military at all I would imagine

          Ideology changes over time. Being in the military is often a catalyst for big changes to ideology.
