FlyingRhenquest 1 #2 November 30, 2013 Why would anyone even travel to that country? Then when they get detained they want us to rescue them?I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,590 #3 November 30, 2013 FlyingRhenquest Why would anyone even travel to that country? Then when they get detained they want us to rescue them? I suspect the guy was inspired by all the stories of Vietnam vets traveling back to Vietnam to revisit sites and reconnect with old friends and foes. But the Vietnamese government doesn't have it's head up it's ass like the NK government.You couldn't pay me enough to visit NK, especially carrying a US passport."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

davjohns 1 #6 December 2, 2013 Mixed emotions. NK is wrong. I appreciate the guy's service, but what was he thinking?I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
