Let the South Korean forces be the trip wire.

============================================

Hey genius, ROKs are the "trip-wire" and have been for years. US troops are further south than nearly half the civilian population so wtf are you yammering about?

No, the American troops are at the DMZ and Seoul, Korea is close to the DMZ - 20 miles south I believe.

The military recognizes that the forces would not be able to stop a North Korean invasion. The theory is that an invasion would cause many GI deaths-the tripwire-thus triggering a full scale involvement by the US.

From what I've seen recently, the South Koreans would welcome North Koreans as their cousins and turn on the US.

Recently, the US military has recognized the folly of keeping the US soldiers so far north and have moved many forces further south.

I suggest we move the forces out of South Korea all together. They are a wealthy country, very anti-American, and can defend their own country.
