Jenkins Speaks to Oh My News

Form American deserter to North Korea Charles Jenkins has given an interesting interview to Korea’s Oh My News International:

The ex-sergeant served 25 days in a U.S. military brig in 2004 after being dishonorably discharged for desertion and is thought to have bartered his freedom with his knowledge of the North. “I was told that they had an agent in North Korea for over 20 years that didn’t give them one tenth of what I gave them.”

Jenkins told the U.S. he “would not be surprised” if Pyongyang has a nuclear weapon. “Close to my house was a mountain and Russia put missiles in there. Everybody knew that. Nobody goes up there or talks about it, but they’re all aimed at Japan and South Korea.”

To think that there is a minority of idiots in South Korea that want to kick out the US Army’s PATRIOT missile batteries from South Korea.

Jenkins had some kind words for North Korean leader Kim Jong Il though:

Kim Jong Il called in the World Health Food Program, “which his father would never have done. That helped a lot of people.” He claims Kim junior also investigated the camps and freed many people. “I say the son was better than the father.”

Could divorce be in the future for Jenkins?:

The subject of divorce came up between Jenkins and his wife, who is 19 years younger, after the government offered to exchange the couple’s Korean marriage license for a Japanese version.

“I told her: if you want to kick me out: do it now,” says Jenkins tearfully. “She said if we divorce, what about Brinda and Mika? That would be hard on them. So she told me she wouldn’t divorce me. I told her if you want to get married again in Japan I’ll leave. But I won’t leave Japan; I’ll stay for my daughters. She wouldn’t do it. She’ll never divorce me.”

This has to be one of the strangest marriages ever. Read the rest of the article for more.
