[Hoot Gibson]

Hoot we have no business in the Korean war, we didnt then when we were fighting communism, we sure dont now.


Pull our troops out, and let those people fend for themselves, Im tired of treating our soldiers like they are the worlds babysitters, these brave men and women are willing to put their lives on the line, if they are going to be sent to do so, atleast make sure its something worth while.

In general, I agree that American troops need to be brought home but South Korea is a unique situation. Asia will only be stable as long as the US provides balance to China and North Korea. If we withdraw our troops from South Korea, both South Korea and Taiwan's days as independent nations will quickly draw to a close and Japan will face heavy pressure to go nuclear - if they have not already done so.

The US needs a credible threat of force in South Korea and the Obama regime is not credible. Credible threats are cheaper than all out war, and we should have learned that lesson in WW II.

I do agree that there is no need for NATO or US troops to be stationed in western Europe. The EU does not need our protection from the Russians and they need to be paying for their own defense.
