    Hello Rosie:

    Yes, we do..  They're there to defend our allies, the South Koreans..  Even IF we decided to leave our friends vulnerable, removing 30,000 troops wouldn't be that easy..

    Of course, I dunno HOW effective 30,000 troops would be against a 2 million man army pouring across the border.  Plus, they have 13,000 artillery weapons pointed at Seoul, 30 miles south of the DMZ..  Round 25 million people live there, and those North Korean guns will FLATTEN Seoul in about an hour..

    I dunno what the answer is..

    Trump doesn't get to make that decision.  That is not how the military works.

    Hello t:

    He's the Commander-in-Chief..  He gets to deploy his troops where HE wants them.  It's absolutely HIS decision, and his alone..
