Our government hasn't visited our Korean policy for a generation. We can't remove our troops now, but why is the 8th Army, 7th Air Force and 2nd Infantry Division in Korea a half-century after the truce? South Korea has the ability to defend itself from North Korea if it wishes. I suspect the two soldiers behaved like swine. There is a good chance the South Koreans have a legitimate grievance against extra-territoriality. However, that raises the larger question: fielding the smallest armed forces since the 1930s, with global military commitments, during a time of war, why are we there?

South Korea is suffering a rot from within.

Communists have infiltrated it. The very moment the US withdraws, South Korea falls, struck by the rot from within and consumed by the starving hordes of Communism from without.

This is the prophesy the Liberals seek to realize within the US as well.

It was a traffic accident involving a tank transporter. The soldiers were absolved of any blame.

What makes you suspect this?
