This is the only person ever to be thrown out of North Korea.

[@carlosbarboza3547]

Deported

Does it really matter 🤷‍♀️ He is home .

He was so annoying that even North Korea kicked him out.

He should have been in cuffs and why would someone shake his hand? He's a deserter and a fugitive; not a returning POW.

[@gregmiller9710]

exactly!!...

[@AmanD5001]

Regardless, he can provide intel from what they asked him, where they took him (provided he was able to see), who he spoke to, what he was told. And exactly who is going to want to talk to someone who cuffs you and treats you like dirt? You want answers you treat someone like a human.

[@zingwilder9989]

I sincerely doubt that this young man can provide the US Army with any intel of which it is not already aware. He is a fugitive from justice and a deserter, but not a returning hero.@@AmanD5001

CIA undercover operative maybe?

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 THANK U JESUS HE MADE IT HOME SAFE 2 HIS FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!! JESUS FORGIVE US !!!!!!!!!

[@whaat4]

If it was up to me I would tell North Korea to keep him

[@Dang3rMouSe]

He intentionally deserted our military to skip out on his crime in S Korea! Why isn't he in cuffs going straight back to S Korea to face his crimes & then complete his desertion sentence back here in the stockades?! Something is very wrong here & if this is the current state of our military this is a clear warning to not sign up.

[@MXTuber3000]

Why do we want him back exactly? Same deal when Russia gave us back the man of a basketball player, absolutely stupid.

[@Marios-br1hm]

we want an INTERVIEW !!

[@heathermichael3987]

I do actually.

[@victorstaats7477]

Now I see what our military has come to a disgrace .

[@user-xt1fm9rh6r]

Why is he not in cuffs.......

[@justiceriser8970]

Really suspicious

[@heathermichael3987]

It was a way North Korea was informing us we weren’t important and it still didn’t work .

[@conmanumber1]

Expelled?. Gosch they usually put them into the gulags. Must be so degrading to be so unwanted.

[@jamesquirk4999]

Throw his butt into the stockade and throw away the key 🔑 deserter

[@zingwilder9989]

I doubt whether the Army will throw him in Leavenworth. He'll just get a less than honorable discharge and be put back on the street. Nonetheless, if he thinks that he'll be a celebrity, he's quite wrong.

[@Memed_Central]

Waste of money. Let the poor kid out.

[@jamesquirk4999]

@@Memed_Central He is deserter. He shouldn't join the Army

The army really should do it thats what they used to do back in the day but today.........??????

[@southerntiger3107]

This should be a comedy show, it reminds me of one TV show on MASH, when Fank Burns was a POW, and the North Koreans couldn't stand him and decided to let him go back to the other side. They thought it would be better to let him go to the United States because it would help North Korea to win the war by getting rid of him. "Go back to the other side," they said to Frank Burns. Hollywood could do a spin-off in 2023 about PFC King. 🌍🌎🌏☕️☕️☕️
