North Korea is safer than the White Supremacist American soldiers. He fled to North Korea cos of racism from the American Army. He knew he was safer in North Korea than his counterparts in the US Army.
How will a black soldier be safer in North Korea than South Korea or any other country? I'm sure it all has to do with his mental health status as he would have chosen a saner place if all was well with him

They graduate and become bandits

Despite all that has happened, he’ll still face disciplinary charges against actions,
Meanwhile in my country Nigeria soldiers are entered into a secret court martial, while terrorist who have killed soldiers and innocent civilians are asked to recite the national anthem, then they’re reintegrated into the society as “Repentant Boko Haram Members”.

Most likely a US spy... Mind game played on the public...Agent returns to normal life or some 'supposed Prison'...



Mission accomplished!

Mr spy might not even be aware of his role

He’s an American.
Nope.
North Korea doesn't consider him an typical "American".
If they did, he would be held charged with espionage, held for a very long term and maybe exchanged
with other spies after many taunting shows on government media houses.

From the writeup about his other behaviours, the man appears to either resent being in the army or has mental issues.
Though resenting the army doesn't make sense here, since he wasn't forced to join.

Possibly an emerging or full blown physchosomatic person that is yet to be identified.

His history ,behaviourial pattern and conduct since he joined the Army is a pointer.

I wish him well

He’s still an American but not your typical American. That is why he had more leniency. A white American would have been treated worse or been in jail for a long time.

So why did North Korea expel him then,anything to paint us bad
Leniency. A white American soldier would have been in jail forever and treated worse.
