Was the Tale of the US Army Private Who Defected to North Korea a Real Life “Ransom of Red Chief”?

“[North Korea] may have simply decided that Private King was more trouble than he was worth.”

“[North Korea] concluded that the longer he stays, the more of a burden he becomes.”

This past July, a US Army private, Travis King, crossed the border from South Korea to North Korea at Panmunjom. Two months later North Korea expelled him, returning him to US custody.

I certainly hope the terms were favorable, by which I mean I hope that the United States extracted some concessions from North Korea for taking King off their hands.

The whole story sounds like a 21st Century version of O. Henry’s 1910 short story, “The Ransom of Red Chief.”

If you don’t know that story, it’s about a couple of bumbling criminals who decided to kidnap the son a wealthy man. Once they lure the boy into captivity, they find that they’re in custody of a rowdy, motor-mouthed, little hellion, who was having the time of his life. To him it was all a great game, and he referred to himself as “Red Chief.” The father not only rejected the kidnappers’ $1,500 ransom demand, but the father’s counteroffer was for the kidnappers to pay $250 for the father to take the boy back off their hands, which the kidnappers ultimately did, just to be rid of the boy.

As for Private King, when he was first taken into North Korean custody, the political and chattering classes started chattering in their predictable manner:

“I worry about price to get soldier Travis King back from North Korea, Representative McCaul says” [ABC – 7/23/2023]

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul said Sunday that he's concerned North Korea will demand concessions from the United States in exchange for releasing American Travis King, the soldier who last week fled across the border from South Korea.

That needn’t have been a concern, as the North Koreans soon found out that the intelligence and propaganda value of King was zero.

American soldier’s release from detention was quick by North Korean standards [AP – 9/29/2023]

There had been speculation that North Korea would try to maximize the propaganda value of an active duty U.S. soldier who voluntarily crossed into its territory, reportedly because he was disillusioned with racism in the military and American society.

The North may have simply decided that King was more trouble than he was worth.

Analysts say the 23-year-old’s legal troubles could have limited his propaganda value. At the time he crossed the border in July, King was supposed to be heading to Fort Bliss, Texas, following his release from prison in South Korea on an assault conviction.

As a low-ranking serviceman, King was clearly not a meaningful source of U.S. military information. The North would have been unable to justify the costs of providing him food, accommodation, security guards and translators, especially when it was uncertain what it would get from the United States amid stalled diplomacy.

“North Korea is actually good at doing the math on these things,” said Moon Seong Mook, a retired South Korean brigadier general who participated in past military talks with the North.

“They concluded that the longer he stays, the more of a burden he becomes.”

As we well know from watching the US government deal with Iran, the Biden administration is eager to ladle out ransom money to evil regimes. Biden really, REALLY likes giving taxpayer dollars to evil madmen, yet reports are that Kim Jong Un got nothing in exchange for releasing King.

The North has often been accused of using American detainees as bargaining chips, but Biden administration officials said they made no concessions to secure King’s release.

We can only speculate if Private King was as awful a detainee as the fictional Red Chief, but he must have been a piece of work if the North Koreans considered zilch to be an attractive ransom offer.

At a minimum, I hope that we made North Korea re-imburse us for fuel and other related costs to unburden themselves of Private Red Chief.

In fairness, the most recent payout to the enemy in Iran was done through releasing existing funds rather than sending them pallets of taxpayer money - but only because that was a convenient option. It would have been new money if needed.

And sadly, it defined the new price for hostages: $1.25 billion each.

Dumber than a box of rocks, unwilling to learn, sullen, and disorderly. He got real effing good at PLF rolls and push-ups when he got handed off to me. He also got real effing good at looking and behaving like a real troop. He very quickly real8zed that SGT Bif was meaner than anyone he'd ever run into or would again in his life.

PVT King reminds of that little feral shitbag I had to turn into a good troop. His chain of command gave up on him when he only needed a good NCO to kick his ass with no fucks given to his feelz.

82 Speaking of Korea, I have been listening to some old radio dramas while doing yard work, driving around, etc. They were all recorded as-broadcast (not original masters) and so there are some artifacts.

This weekend, I was working on the yard and listening to one of these when a news report broke in to announce that the North Korean communists had violated the 38th Parallel and the State Department announced that it would hold the Soviet Union responsible for the violation.

A bad day.

159 I suspect US paid the NORKS a lot to get traitor back. The "Biden" administration can never pass up a dumb ass move that is completely unnecessary and counterproductive. The only thing that tells against that is that the traitor has not been invited to the White House so the "President" can crow about how our long national nightmere is at last over.

165 Why isn't "Bidenomics" perceived more favorably by voters? My opinion: The typical Joe or Jane doesn’t really understand much about economics, such as what causes inflation (including high corporate profits in some markets) and how to reel it in. If I’m right, this is the key thing that Dems need to focus on—to educate voters and propose ways of helping—even if those are blocked by Republicans.

The average person is more directly affected by inflation and their own wages than by the macro unemployment numbers.Democrats MUST recognize this and stop hoping that repeating unemployment numbers to them will solve the problem.

There's a clear choice in the election between a failed economic presidency and this majorly successful recovery. There is no inflation...nothing but greedflation.

regular people only think food, gas, well everything costs more. They don't see adding jobs as a reward unless they get raises to cover all their extra expenses.

The media has pounded that Joe is old, and Trump while close in age sounds more forceful, which really is bullying us. But mainly its the news spinning everything around.

NK has no qualms with throwing US citizens in unlivable conditions for extended periods of time. Look at that Otto what’s his name a few years ago. How could Pvt King cause them trouble? Just throw him in a cell or forced labor camp and forget about him. And King’s propaganda value shouldn’t be dependent on his legal trouble here because NK doesn’t let their people know what goes on out here. They already lie to their people, why couldn’t they lie here?

I’m much more inclined to believe that the quick around here is because our government actually secretly gave NK some exorbitant ransom and they’re now lying to us to avoid looking bad.

Martin was only the first to say this. Many more will follow. Probably all of them. This is SOP and has been for decades. And once again, Israel will capitulate and not due what's absolutely necessary -- both because of international pressure and traitors in its own country and government. I'll bet anyone any amount of money. Any takers?

My high school history teacher did three tours in Vietnam. He described the difference between the American experience at night in the shit versus the South Korean night in the shit.

Americans would get sniped at and couldn't build fires which could give away their positions. South Korea could sit there with fires without worry.

The difference was that South Korean soldiers would go to the nearest village and exact vengeance upon them for any...shall we say...disturbed sleep. Americans couldn't.

When I'd go to the dance clubs in Tel Aviv and Eilat *koff koff* years ago on leave from my posting in Egypt, about half the people (male and female) on the dance floor had assault rifles slung over their backs. Nothing like dancing with an Israeli Army chick and having the guy behind you slapping his heavy-assed Galil into your spine.

Wait, that came out wrong...

Another fun anecdote is us sitting at a cafe in Jerusalem one afternoon and this hawt Israeli chick walks by in a sundress, carrying an Uzi with a wide pink ribbon as a sling...

389 If you don’t know that story, it’s about a couple of bumbling criminals who decided to kidnap the son a wealthy man. Once they lure the boy into captivity, they find that they’re in custody of a rowdy, motor-mouthed, little hellion, who was having the time of his life. To him it was all a great game, and he referred to himself as “Red Chief.” The father not only rejected the kidnappers’ $1,500 ransom demand, but the father’s counteroffer was for the kidnappers to pay $250 for the father to take the boy back off their hands, which the kidnappers ultimately did, just to be rid of the boy.

Honestly, I'd grieve for about 30 seconds. It's really a stunningly beautiful building, especially for having been built by mohammedan savages.

Then again, we can always refer to the before photos while snickering over the after rubble.

I'm really kind of astounded that the Israelis didn't have the Dome and Al Aqsa sited in for a nice little artillery barrage. During the Hamas rocket attack would have been a great time to do it. Let Hamas explain to the rest of the mohammedan world how it was necessary to destroy the 3rd most sacred site in the mohammedan cult, just so they could kill a handful of Joos.

420 "This is false. Watching Russia bleed out is a very good thing for us at both a tactical and strategic level."

That is false on multiple levels.

1) Modern Russia is as much of a long-term threat as Italy. OTOH, you might have a nameless fear of Italy restarting the Roman Empire. The 2 countries have similar GDPs after all.

2) Pushing Russia to have closer ties to China (since China is pretty much the main country that will still trade with them) is not a great idea; every unit that is preventing some other European asshole from invading is one that isn't causing the Chinese problems. (1708, 1812, 1914-1917, 1941-1944)

3) I don't know the moron (a REAL moron, not those who post here) who claimed "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." was true. It rarely is true. The Ukraine is no friend of ours.

TBF, I don't believe that 99% of the countries that we consider to be "allies" are our "friends"; I think they view us as marks to be fleeced.
