I’m not going to ascribe any moral grading to these NK soldiers, for all I know they were forced to deploy against their will, or maybe they volunteered.

Either way, it doesn’t matter. They were active participants in a conflict, and deployed within a war zone. That means they were legitimate military targets to be killed, or captured.

I hate this fictional couple already. Despite the fact that they’re clearly upper middle class and educated, they’re too lazy to capitalize “I”, or his name.
