Travis King: Details emerge on U.S. soldier who crossed into North Korea

Posting because he was a 23-year-old pv2, thats... sad. Maybe don't let people out of prison to go home to face a disciplinary hearing without an escort?

As a note: the pfc promotion is generally automatic after 1 year and often out of basic if you can follow simple directions.

BTW I'm assuming he wasn't a spc or cpl or something and busted down, but we should also try to keep out worse performing soldiers away from the crazy nuclear state, because if he'd managed to have a weapon somehow this conversation would be less odd.
