The only incorrect atatement in the article is that we can't remove troops from France, since there aren't any left.

Well, except for the ones still buried there.

I can't remember... but it wasn't long ago that we made some serious "wrap it up" noises following a series of college-student riots in S. Korea.

They stopped abruptly, there was even a backlash. A few oldsters even delivered some brisk backhands to these whippersnappers, and there was some kerfuffle about a statue.

Can anyone back me up on this?

You been watching CNN? CBS? ABC? NBC? Don't.

Its actually easy for us to regain the appreciation of the free world. All we have to do is pull out.

Good point!

Wonder how the Philippines are doing now-days.

"Wonder how the Philippines are doing now-days."

I believe you'll find them catering to the Japanese sex trade, these days. Talk about strange bedfellows.

---I have been through service in Korea, and Police action, but Harry never sent us our badges, Viet Nam, we could not tell the friends from the enemies, now we are back in the same quagmire, no idea of where we are going or how we are going to get there. Just stumbling around---

War is just like that. They aren't happy affairs. One other thing:

---why are American forces in these nations?---

Because it's better to fight over there than over here. It's forward defence.

I tell the kids I work with to imagine having to defend your family during a gang fight. I ask them if they'd rather do it in their own front yard, or a couple of blocks away, in someone else's front yard.

There is always collateral damage in war. Since that is true, I'd much rather someone else suffer the casualties than us. So would most of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coasties.

After the first sentance Iwas looking for the barf alert....then I read a little further.

Good post!
