imagine NK not even wanting you or thinking you’re useful enough to keep. embarrassing.

[knightwolf]

Disgraceful. The man went AWOL, and now he’s going to face the consequences for his actions.

[listerinr]

Even North Korea doesn't want him smh

[TitanUranus]

Imagine North Korea not deeming you worthy of being a hostage lol

[merrynichols]

He is a disgrace to the military and America. Go straight to jail

[mfcobb]

That's pretty bad when NK says oh hell no. 😅

[nicholasmorrison]

Oh, he's got a lot to answer for! Travis says that he was treated poorly because he claimed harassed by soldiers making racist comments about him, but that's no excuse for Travis to illegally cross the border to North Korea. What Private Travis King do did was still treason, and unfortunately for him, he must faced the consequences of his actions once he's back to America to stand trial!

They should’ve left him there on hard labour work since he decided to be a traitor

This is probably the friendlest exchange North Norea and the US has ever had.

[lawrencecole]

He needs to be an example he committed treason now he needs to face the charges of treason

[somnuswaltz]

How do you manage to get expelled from North Korea??? 😂

[terrydelorme]

Time at Fort Leavenworth and dishonorable discharge from the military. Excellent UCMJ career planning.

[novaboy]

You know your worth when even N.Korea doesn't want anything to do with you 😅

[JosueMartinez-wdyu]

Bet you that some North Koreans would love to be" Expelled" from that country.

[CassMaxwell]

This is such a weird story. The only explanation is ancient aliens

[chrismorgan]

Dishonorable discharge and imprisonment

[theotheleo]

How many $hundreds of millions were paid to get this mental case back? One dollar is too damned much.

[lolafairchild]

What a terrorist.... This isn't a representation of actual hard working service members!

[MemoWardwell]

Shoulda never allowed him in our country.

[JL-wfwp]

He imported that nga attitude into South Korea
