Camp 14 is a North Korean prison camp that houses an estimated 15,000 people. Generations are born and die here. We know it’s there, we know it’s a modern day holocaust, yet we do nothing. We have survivors that have escaped and given accounts of the conditions there. It’s a disgrace.
Why we don’t do anything: We’re afraid of starting a war with North Korea. This is a coward’s way out. It’s inconvenient to confront the enemy and get messy. If we’re supposed to be the beacon of freedom in the world, this situation shows us to be a liar. They also argue that it would be too hard to integrate that many people. Again this is the coward’s excuse. We would do what we did with the victims of concentration camps in World War 2. You keep the camps intake but steadily improve conditions with provisions and education. There are thousands of people in these camps, and thousands who have died there. But the global community sits by with iPhone in hand. It’s disgusting and we should be ashamed of ourselves.
I know this isn’t a complete CONOP to free a prison camp. Our leaders need to grow a spine, have a drink with John Wayne and get to kicking skulls.

We have to diplomatically remove China from the equation before we can do anything about North Korea. China wants a buffer against outside influence though in the digital age a physical buffer is not nearly as important. China is not nearly as rampantly communist as they used to be but due to our economic policy of shipping jobs overseas they now have too much economic power to wield against us along with their military might. I have no doubt that the American military could prevail but if China sinks our economy in the process thinks might turn out different. This is why we let the human rights abuses of North Korea continue unchecked, because while we continued to say we were the beacon of freedom, liberty, and justice, we allowed the very support system for that to walk away under economic pretenses.

SGT Donald Croswhite, have you read the book "Escape from Camp 14"? I did and it's an excellent read. The plight of the North Korean people is really brutal. They suffer, starve, have zero freedom. I really feel for those people, but I don't know if it's our place to police such issues. Wouldn't the UN be a better body to address that? Or some other world body? Now, if North Korea ever really came after South Korea, then it might become "our business."

I saw this episode and it was a good example of the insanity that is North Korea.
