Holy Shit - North Korean Defector footage

AZDuck

Dude stole a jeep, drove to the JSA (Joint Security Area) at Pammunjom (the place the armistice was signed), and ran across the demarcation line, all while being shot at by North Korean troops in full view of South Korean (and probably American) soldiers.

Literally just watched it.

Crazy shit. Dude had "dozens of parasites, some as long as 27 centimeters" in his intestines. And Hep C.

Can't wait for the DPRK Twitter take on it.

Grate plantation mentality as always.

A black eye for the North TBH. How the hell can't you take a guy down completely with 4 guys with automatic weapons starting from about 10 feet away.

I say Trump wins this one rather easily. Say 34-17

It's hard to shoot accurately with scurvy

That is true. And I didn't take the altitude into account. If I did I would have understood why the first guy had to drop to his belly to fire at a running target 10 feet away.

In fairness to our brave defender of the Juche Idea, it is easier to shoot accurately from the prone (not that it helped him, apparently)

And he probably expected return fire.

He should have, he was shooting at South Korea

They may have wanted to miss. They lack the dedication of the East Germans in days of yore

But would Hondo shoot the escapee for his masters?

The Asia Pivot has been in place for years now. We lose 2,600 US service members. Seoul loses 2-3 million people. It's 100% over by day 6 once there is a carrier group on both sides of the peninsula and the bombers from all four regions are in the air 24/7.

Then we run into the same problem we ran into last time when China tells us to GTFO.
