#87 Blackwell:
“Nor do I wish to go to war to protect SK’s who do not wish to protect themselves.”
Hang on a minute, Blackwell. What’s this beef you have about the South Koreans?
Whatever makes you state with such apparent assurance that they’re not willing to fight?
By all accounts, the SoKo’s are fightin’ sonsabitches.
I happen to agree with you that our continued miltary presence in Europe is a waste that mainly serves nowadays as a nifty tool for a recruiting poster:
“Join the Army/Air Force/Navy and ditch li’l ole Mary-Sue Sugarbritches who would never give your pimply mug the time of day…you’ll soon be rolling around hip-deep in frauleins/mama-sans/monkey girls in places that look nothing like back home in East Pig Knuckle, Arkansas”.
American military presence abroad should be dictated by one thing and one thing ONLY:
Does it serve OUR strategic interest?
One of the factors in answering that question is if the ally we are basing in has the stones to put up a fight for his own turf.
In my opinion the South Koreans DO, and the rest of ‘em DON’T.
