US, North Korea Resume Talks On Recovery Of War Dead Remains

| September 10, 2018

NK Parade
While the United States and North Korea struggle to get nuclear talks back on track, negotiators moved forward with efforts to bring home the remains of more American troops killed in the 1950-53 Korean War.

Also of interest was North Korea’s 70th anniversary parade- no ballistic missiles were present for the occasion.

U.S. and North Korean generals met Friday in the truce village of Panmunjom to discuss the way ahead, more than a month after the repatriation of 55 cases, said to contain the remains of U.S. service members.

The talks came as the longtime adversaries are otherwise locked in a diplomatic stalemate over efforts to persuade the North to abandon its nuclear weapons program.

“Participants discussed military-to-military efforts to support any potential future return of remains,” UNC spokesman Col. Chad Carroll said Sunday in an email. More details were not released.

The return of the 55 cases in late July was the first such repatriation in more than a decade. President Donald Trump hailed it as a tangible outcome of his June 12 summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

But experts noted it was just the start of a long process, with more than 7,600 Americans still missing from the war, including 5,300 believed to have been lost in North Korea.

Trump and Kim agreed at the Singapore summit to resume the long-stalled search for the remains, “including the immediate repatriation of those already identified” as part of a four-point declaration that mainly focused on a promise to try to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.

The return of the 55 cases fulfilled part of that promise, but U.S. officials are pushing to resume searches in North Korea. The recently returned remains, mostly bones and other fragments, were flown to Hawaii for analysis and identification.

Although unrelated, the resumption of talks concerning the repatriation of US war dead, and the lack of ballistic missiles in the 70th anniversary parade are promising signs.

Each time the remains of an American Warrior is returned from NK, I hear liberal slug heads explode across America. There I said it. The liberal pigs in this Nation are opposed to Anything that makes President Trump appear to have a better understanding and a better control of what takes place in this Nation than did his PoS predecessor, the community organizer trash. The liberals wish for the worst possible outcome in each scenario within the Nation. They wish for failure of each undertaking by President Trump. I firmly believe they are opposed to good news, lower unemployment, better economy, better military stance within the world community. I said it I stand by it. The demoncrats wish for the worst possible of this nation.

While the 18 elections are important, the padding of members of the Supreme Court is of greater importance than almost anything else. Kavanaugh will be appointed; if yet another conservative can be added, that will secure the conservative leaning of this nation for decades. It is vitally important that two more are appointed, including Kavanaugh.

This is a bit off topic, but your post, HMC, brings something to mind. I agree with your statement “They (The liberals) wish for failure of each undertaking by President Trump.”
Does anyone else remember Rush Limbaugh saying, on the inauguration of Pres. Obama “I hope he fails.” when discussing the stated Obama objective to “fundamentally change America”? Limbaugh was verbally sandblasted, drawn and quartered, and shot with 120mm sabot rounds for his “heresy”. Mitch McConnell said he wanted Obama to be “a one term president” and similarly blasted.

Yet another example of rules for me but not for thee, coming from our supposed intellectually superior overlords.

Or is is “rules for thee but not for me”? Oh, heck, they’re hypocrites, every last one of ’em.

I don’t think you have to have kids to know when a spoiled brat is throwing a temper tantrum. That’s what we’ve seen since 2008, one tantrum after another if they can’t have their way.

Now it is no longer effective, and they look as ridiculous and dysfunctional as we all knew they were.

Just look at any gaggle of Antifa and you’ll hear screeching like a crowd of spoiled toddlers with soiled diapers!

I get your point, but we knew what was coming when Obama got elected. We knew what he was about and what he would try to do. Wanting him to fail was perfectly appropriate there, because he was trying to destroy us and do as much damage as he could. Fortunately he was a grabastic spastic troglodyte who could not find his ass with both hands and all the socialist democrats in congress. Liberals wish for failure of anyone not amongst them because they don’t get their childish way, as simple as that.

On Target HMC Ret; Fire for effect. Wonder how many boxes of American Warriors they have been sitting on since 1953?
We have a good chance with this election to reverse the “Fundamental Change of the Face of America”, but we must get out the vote. The d-rats are hard at it, mobilizing and registering everyone, including those at the intersection of cemetery and morgue. The purpose of SCOTUS is not to legislate from the bench, but to interpret the Constitution and the law of the land. If we can’t reverse it, or continue to slow down the destruction of America, 2020 will be our last chance. Glad I’m done got old, but it would be nice if my Grandchildren could grow up in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

I will be happy to know that those boxes do actually contain the remains of troops and not “other” stuff.

I just don’t trust the Norks, period.

“Also of interest was North Korea’s 70th anniversary parade- no ballistic missiles were present for the occasion.”

This is the most important sentence of the article. It appears that the North Koreans continue to abide by their agreement with President Trump.

Trump stared them down and they saw the light and it appears this could really result in the total disarmament of their nuclear capabilities.

I guarantee-damn-tee the dummycrats are pissed as hell re this. Their heads with the tiny little brains are collectively exploding across the nation.

Oshit spent 8 years sucking their dick and got nothing from it except ridicule. Trump said watch me lips and they fell in line.

I like it. And oh, libtards, suck a bag of dicks you losers. I fucking hate liberals b/c I believe they secretly and not so secretly advocate for the destruction of this nation.

Best possible scenario: Win in 18 and 20. Add two more to SCOTUS. Good to go. SCOTUS can block all liberal attempts to further degrade the nation.
