ballpoint Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Sounds like a bad Korea move if he was looking at advancing in the army. I'll get my tunic. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NextG Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Seems there was an altercation in a nightclub. Likely not the fault of the Private as the other person did not want to press charges. But seemingly he was out in a police car afterwards, which might explain his trying to get out of it. Hence the claim of kicking the back door of the police car. As to escaping, he was only escorted up to customs. He didn’t bother to catch the flight but instead the next day went on this tour. Perhaps feeling wrongly treated throughout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
