So was this:

1. Created to distract
2. Travis truly lost his mind
3. Travis was programed to deliver information
4. Travis thought it was funny and is now really sad
5. Administration needed and excuse to send money to N. Korea at the behest of China.
6. He hated the USA and wanted to leave but now is really sad

KCNA said King "confessed that he had decided to come over to the DPRK as he harbored ill feeling against inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination within the U.S. Army." “He also expressed his willingness to seek refugee in the DPRK or a third country," the KCNA report says.

i think it's pretty likely that this is actually the truth.

edit to clarify - i think it might be the truth that he believes he is facing hopeless racial discrimination in the army, not that he actually IS being discriminated against.

N Korea said that he was getting away from the tyranny and racism of the US...

Maybe they'll send him back in a coma like they did that other guy...

He's a self-deluded moron if he thinks running to North Korea will result in better treatment or a better life.

Pack up his toothbrush and ask the NKors to give it to him.

Whatever the reason, this is his future with King as Leia and Yoon as Jabba the Hut.

Wasn't he facing discipline and was sent stateside? Escaped his escort, joined a tour then walked into NK. Really the worst place he could go to escape that

I love when idiots who think this way get stuck in a country that actually oppresses people. He’s about to learn what real maltreatment feels like.

we beat it into the heads of young minority and female troops that they are hopelessly discriminated against at the hands of evil white officers and staff NCOs, so it isnt surprising that one of them believed it.

Dude was supposed to be in the stockade pending return to the US and involuntary separation. Someone decided to just restrict him to barracks. Said person is now missing most of their arse from the chewing out by some pissed off Colonel.

CBSNews passed it off as factual last night. As if they actually want people to believe that N Korea is better alternative than the US due to racism. Sad thing is there’s probably a decent % of people that will hear that and think it’s true.

Too bad he didn't clarify his hate of the USA as much as Britney Griner did, or Biden would be negotiating his return.
