Are they the Marines?
Why are they not going to the Sunni triangle? Did they think that posting heads on poles would make matters worse instead of better? |

Quoted: Well, it's official now. Looks like they will be up north, where things aren;t quite so hairy, though. This will defintiely free up some of our units for focusing on the counter-guerrilla fight. [url]http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200312/kt2003121716041710440.htm[/url] I have an idea....why not have the Koreans defend their own country and pull our guys out of Korea. |

The last time we pulled our guys out of Korea, we got embroiled in a 3 year long war within months. Neither the US nor the ROKs want us to leave Korea - and for the same reason we are now in Iraq - to insure regional stability. Lord knows the UN is too ineffective to step up. |

Quoted: It has been 50 years! And your point is? We are there for stability, and we will stay there fopr stability. According to the new doctrine, we will no longer be a trip wire, but we will stay. As we should. |

From what I have read the ROK's in Vietnam were pretty ruthless.

But it made more sense during the cold war. (Containment of communism and all of that.) Do we ever pull out? |

Not as long as China is still communist and willing to use force to "adjust" economic arrangements with its smaller neighbors. Not as long as Kim Il is still trying to build missiles to nuke Japanese cities and the west coast of the US, to extort economic consessions. |

I was stationed at Camp Kaiser, Korea with "A" Troop, 2nd Recon Sqardron, 10th Cav between 1962-1963. We had South Korean troops that served with us, "KATUSAs they were called" and they were all tough and dedicated soldiers. The ROK Army or ROK Marines will be a big help for our side, they don't take any shit and they proved that in Nam. |
