Who does Korea benefit from the most, the U.S. Military or Teachers from abroad? List why you think so.

I would say they benefit most from teachers.

We serve a vital role in helping Korea maintain it's nationalistic pride. We show Koreans everywhere that aids is not a Korean problem, that westerners are more interested in money than Koreans, less interested in education than the mighty Koreans, poorer teachers, prone to sexual deviance unlike pure han men, that Koreans have higher I.Q.s, are slimmer, eat far more healthy kimchi, and that Koreans have far greater stamina because of their ability to eat spicy food. We also sometimes are used to show how much fun Koreans have....cause we order our own drinks (we are just not sociable), we don't clutter our tables with anju and a plethora of beer and soju bottles and then we go home earlier while Koreans go to the Norea bang to belt out fantastic tunes until the dawn while the waeguk is either a sleep in bed like a boring stiff or trying to molest Korean girls in some seedy bar somewhere....molesting is bad, um-k.

This is an excellent question and I'd like to see it answered.

Teachers - Given how long foreign teachers have been here and the still relatively low English abilities of Koreans, I can say we have made a really modest impact.

Military - The biggest waste of money ever. Why is the US here? The ROK could and should be able to defend themselves alone it the unlikely event they were attacked.

Taking a long term view, the military has obviously been more helpful, seeing as how our presence here played a part in all the free and cheap money that flowed into the country, both from the US and Japan. But present day it's not really going to do much in the event of a major crisis, seeing as how USFK is predominantly Army.
We're just here now to buzz the bonnets of the Chinese and Russians.

One could say the U.S. army is a waste of money. But in NK, you have active trained and brainwashed soldiers numbering the in the millions, and in SK you have video-game addicts who get manicure's with their girlfriends equaling maybe half of NK's army. Hmmmmm.....

Not being mean, just honest.

There's 0% chance that the North could actually launch a successful invasion, let alone actually conquer SK, or even put up a decent fight. The U.S. military has no purpose. Therefore, teachers win, and also what earthbound14 said.
