With all this talk about nuclear exchanges and fire and fury I want to go back to the basic question,
Why are we in Korea in the first place?
Stopping Communism?
Subsidizing South Korea's unfair competition with our manufacturing base by paying for their defense?
Pouring money and lives down a rathole?
Why are hundreds of thousands of our soldiers and their dependents held hostage by their presence in South Korea?
We originally were in Korea to stop the North Korean communists from taking over South Korea. We expended vast sums of money and many lives to prevent that. Well that's over. Nobody cares about communism anymore. Witness Vietnam. Or China for that matter. They are economic partners and want sex drugs and rock and roll like everyone else. We are still living like it is 1954. Enough already. If our guys weren't there as hostages and South Korea and Japan had to stand on their own two feet I doubt that we would have to worry about North Korea.
