Everything I've read depicts this guy as a drunk loud mouth that liked to pick fights with South Koreans. Is that the kind of thing an Article 15 is used for, as opposed to a court martial? I don't know how this stuff works.

Yeah, I figured it was likely he was a shithead. I mean anyone who would defect to North Korea rather than have a week of punishment duty and being transferred away is pretty stupid. If he was facing a long term in military prison then maybe being a pet American in North Korea would be a better option, but he's fleeing putting up with poo poo for a while. Not a good time, but better than sixty years in North Korea.

Probably offered a case of Jack Daniels in exchange.
