    Is NK considered bad? Why kill them instead of just leaving them alone to do their own thing like countries do with indigenous tribe groups?

      Why kill officers of a country that is helping the invasion of your country? Are you serious? It’s not like they sent the missile all the way over to North Korea.

      Are you suggesting we treat North Koreans like indigenous people in Ukraine?

      Why would any country allow soldiers of another to “do their own thing” within their borders?

      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.
