North Korea border crossing: US soldier held in North Korea after demilitarized zone - reports - BBC News

The hell? Why would he do that?
For a laugh, apparently:
Sounds kind of like he is suffering from mental illness.
I have to believe he wanted to do something of a "suicide by enemy fire." No way he was up for the kind of detainment and "enhanced interrogation" they're gonna put him through.
The North Koreans aren't the type to joke around though. He's almost certainly going to be tortured, and he may never return home unless there is a prisoner swap.
Thought it was already mentioned he was facing disciplinary action? Probably young and stupid.
Yeah, propper nut.
Likely thought they were going to shoot him and was attempting suicide before being dishonorable discharged.
