Sometimes it seems the whole world has gone soft in the head.
South Korea / North Korea. Just another on-going reminder of what happens when you don't finish a damned war.
ok dog eaters... fend for yourselves then!!!
We have to get all our troops off that stinking penninsula.
Why keep troops there? The elected government of South Korea and its younger generation want to be juvenile? So be it, let them loose.
We pull out, the meat cleavers start falling on the peninsula. Sure, there'll be a refugee problem to deal with.
On the other hand, our companies will have lost their Korean competitors. That, and the reduced costs of not being in South Korea should count for something. Of course, China's satellite will have grown, but the lesson to the rest of Asia would be crystal clear. I suspect we may find ourselves with some stronger allies for the long run.
Please keep in mind that the current administration in South Korea is like our Dems, and does not represent many of its citizens. It did not win a big majority. Imagine if we had elected Kerry. That's what it is like in South Korea. Hopefully, they will get some realists elected in the next election.
Why do we even bother 'protecting' South Korea? Let them roll over for the North Koreans and be remade into a single communist Korea. What's the difference? Both will eventually be annexed into Red China anyway.
yep, that's it.
I say we pull out of the South and let the North have em.
