North Korea Detains And Arrests 85 Year Old U.S. Army Veteran Of The Korean War

Now this is all wrong. There is no reason for them to arrest a 85 year old U.S. combat veteran from the Korean war but they did. The only reason I can see they did it was just for spite because this veteran can do no harm to them. North Korea has a serious chip on their shoulder!

Why the hell was he visiting those lunatics? Why did his family let him?

Let me get this right.
We are well aware, NK is full of nutters who have power but no brains.

What the hell would the silly sod go there for?
I have no history in NK but I wouldn't go there - way too many bloody idiots who could get upset at nothing.

All good questions!
