This article is just lip-service. The truth is that USFK is moving out slowly.

When the next president comes in, be he Obama or McCain, the USFK will be reduced. More troops are needed in MiddleEast.

What to do?

If they are smart, they will do everything to stop USFK from leaving Korea. There should be a street demonstration against this article.

However, they are doing the opposite. Anti-America sentiment kindled by “Mad cow disease”(I believe this is a lie made by English scientists to stop imports).

Koreans are dumb. So dumb that they want to kick out the only friend they have.

Fools die.

France and others setting high reparation for Germany led to Hitler and WWII.

Japan’s adament denial of WWII warcrimes will lead to WWIII with China. However, admission of those heineous acts will also kindle more hatred on the Chinese sentiment.

There is no way to stop this train.

The “support troops” or whatever you wanna call it are personnel who are responsible for aiding the ROK in command in control, something that is invaluable when considering the U.S’s combat experience and technology.

Secondary role is to support the landing of more U.S divisions and Heavy Combat Brigade Teams, as well as coordinate sophisticated airstrikes (much like the Korean War)

Lastly, they do provide a very substantial role in combat, 2ID has infantry, armor, cavalry, and aviation units that pair up with bigger ROK units to inflict major damage to first line NK light infantry divisions whose goal is a sort of “bliztkreig” to capture Seoul before resources(fuel) are exhausted.

The “here to die” bit is a popular myth. Get your facts straight before you go convincing everyone that Americans are in the business of dying for political justification.

That being said, I dont necessarily oppose are support troops being here. However, that is the role they play, and I never really expected it to go away anytime soon. I mean, they did survive the Carter ordeal.

He went from Korea to Afghanistan, and is now in Iraq. He contacts me on a regular basis, and all-in-all, he still says that Korea was the least favorite place he has been.

Now that say a mouth full……

Do I? The American firepower, and a couple of well-placed ballistic missiles, would do a damned good job of slowing down North Korean soldiers, many of which don’t even have bullets if they have a rifle at all.
