2. Before anyone jumps in here and blames Obama and Clinton for not doing something...

They have been released.

3. long way to go for a protest...

and this could have been much worse than it was...

4. Ditto.

5. A man serving in the US military should NEVER protest the policies of another nation

while visiting that nation.

As such whether the person intends to or not, that person can be seen by the OTHER NATION as a agent provocateur of the USA and face far worse problems than a civilian.

And under international law, Choi would be the one in the wrong, and the USA would have its hands tied if his situation became dire.

It does NOT matter what the issue is.

6. That was ODD? Why was he arrested?

He seem to be just walking & then he appeared to be ambushed. I guess you are not allowed to be gay in Russia? That did not look like a protest...Obviously, I do not know the whole story.

At least he has been released according to another poster on this thread. I hope that is true because that looked like an old school "Party finds you" type arrest! LOL!
