Fri Sep 10, 2004 10:47 PM ETBy George Nishiyama



CAMP ZAMA, Japan (Reuters) - U.S. Army Sergeant Charles Robert Jenkins gave himself up on Saturday at an American army base in Japan to face charges that he deserted to communist North Korea four decades ago while on patrol in South Korea.

His surrender is a big step toward resolving a diplomatic headache for the United States and close ally Japan.

Wearing a suit and tie, the 64-year-old Jenkins gave a long salute as he was received by Lt. Colonel Paul Nigara at Camp Zama, the U.S. Army's headquarters in Japan west of the capital.

"Sir, I'm Sgt. Jenkins, and I'm reporting," he was quoted as saying by a U.S. army statement.

at least he'll get free health care from the usa. he is "sick" you remember.

He'll only get free health care if he goes to prison. Otherwise he's screwed.

[Faded]

Actually, I think, a TRUE american would Stand up and face the music for what he's done, or whatever he's accused of. You do what you believe is the right thing to do, and face the consequences. Not run and hide.

Just a thought......

Actually IN prison is where he'd get Seriously SCREWED

The article said he's back on active duty. That means free ride. He's been given a haircut and uniform and family housing. Apparently, before they can court martial you, you've got to be put back on the team.

[Bongo]

Sounds like Jenkins is poised to become a double traitor by now betraying any information he has on NK, before he becomes a "telento". Don't you just hate that word!

You think being Bubba's Bitch would be any worse than fucking his wife?

[Faded]

never thought of that, maybe he's surrendering to escape his wife and kids

can he get refugee status for that?

[Ketou]

I'd be interested to hear why he did the Harry Holt in the first place.

Nah, that's just Reuters getting in a cheap shot. Compare that photo to the one at the top of this topic. In the one at the top he's giving his salute. In the Reuters one, he's doing the second action of a salute, where you snap your hand away from your temple before lowering your arm.

No different from when other news organizations publish photos of people with their faces makind stupid expressions.
