Since the ROK's actions including its own troop deployments inidcate they have no fear of a ground attack across the DMZ, keeping highly trained U.S. troops there as hostages and fuel for propaganda made little sense. They're mobile enough to get to wherever they're needed. There was no point in keeping USFK troops in the Seoul area, and they were an irritant there if the SK press is to be belieed.

I think Koreans would be happy to have American soldiers here as long as they never have to see them, and maybe the other way too... I thought moving them out of Seoul was to leave the highest risk areas for the Koreans to take care of, but it'll have more benefits too, I guess. I don't know actually what's going on with them moving out, but it seems in general their presence is less seen and less of an irritant these days (maybe 'cause they're not allowed in a bunch of places?).
