I second that Lirelou! I think the best thing to do, is a total pullout save for about 20 military advisers with one officer, maybe a capt. Then let it be known that the Korean quagmire is outside of the American protection sphere. Then send give free one way tickets back to Korea for any Kyopo that wants one. Lastly offer to let North Korea have the entire South Korea for Takeshima island. :lol: :lol: "Korea must be made to accept responsibility for its own defense, or it deserves to come under the beneficence of the Dear Leader, and the quickest way to do that is to cut U.S. Forces in Korea to a very small planning staff headed by a single Brigadier General."

We hung on to Panama long after the Canal ceased being of primary value to our economy or defense. We declared that our Philippine bases were irreplaceable, yet Pinatubo managed to get us out fast enough. We hold on to Puerto Rico at a cost of tens of billions in welfare and matching payments long after we should have mandated its independence, we remain in NATO despite the fact that the very reason for its existence has disappeared, and we hold on to bases in Korea that defy our original reason for establishing them, the hard lessons of 1941-42 in China and the Philippines, and the socio-economic development of Korea over the past 25 years. All of this convinces me that most of our administrations keep too busy handling the real or perceived crises of the moment, rather than implementing programs in support of a coherent long term strategy.
