If an accident or got kidnapped yeah we should get him back. If he's trying to defect let him rot there

How could that possibly be an accident at that location?

Biden is on the clock for a trade although I am sure this soldier doesn't play in the WNBA.

Walton & Johnson said he was in the building that straddles the border where both sides can meet. The North Koreans stormed in and took him.

ETA: Looks like it was a brilliant plan to avoid US military justice by getting into a non-extradition country and not a snatch & grab.

Well, if they crossed the line, that's an act of war.

There are cameras (not controlled by the Secret Service), so this should be an easy question to answer.

Can we trade Brandon for the soldier?

Nah, he's about worth that soldier's toenail clipping. We might need to include Kamala and/or a bench player like Miss Lindsay.

When I was there in 1990, service members could take a tour of the DMZ. He may have been on a tour and wandered into an off limits area. Soldiers are dumb AF.

I have zero faith in Biden to handle this in a way that is beneficial to America or that soldier.

Been in that building, and it's highly doubtful they did that.

If he was taken while still on the south side and was pulled to the north… put fat boy on a short clock before a cruise missile goes through his window.

If he walked over to get a photo for his Instagram… sorry buddy. Darwin is a ruthless MFer. Enjoy your nuts being hooked to electric cables.

They've got a 2.5 mile wide DMZ separating North and South Korea. If he got into N. Korea, it was no "Oops, I took the wrong turn" thing.

I was in that building back in '86, it's a single room with a long white table in the center, and the obligatory 2" wide stripe across the floor and table indicating the demarcation between N and S.

We walked all the way around the table at the time, guess the protocols have changed for that building.

Ha. Like our current government would go to war over one soldier.

If this is true, let him rot...

quote:

In a Facebook post, Mikaela Johansson of Sweden wrote that she was on the same tour and that one of the male guests dashed across the MDL when her group visited the Joint Security Area.

To our right, we hear a loud HA-HA-HA and one guy from OUR GROUP that has been with us all day- runs in between two of the buildings and over to the other side!!” she wrote.

“It took everybody a second to react and grasp what had actually happened, then we were ordered into and through Freedom House and running back to our military bus.”

Johansson said authorities at the JSA asked visitors not to share pictures of the incident.
