U.S. out of ROK. It's really past time for this. We've only marginally increased our overall troop strength since 9/11, and training an Iraqi army is taking longer than we had hoped it would. The result is that our military is being spread too thin for too long. Expedience dictates we pull out of South Korea. A symbolic deployment of a battalion of "trip wire" troops (as opposed to our current deployment of 33,000) would be plenty demonstration of our committment to fight against a North Korean attack
