Ok, it doesn't necessarily mean troops have to be stationed in Seoul...but I'd bet good money that they will be here indefinitely. |
And expanding operations in the region, adding equipment and presence in Australia as well.

"As we end today's wars, I have directed my national security team to make our presence and missions in the Asia Pacific a top priority," Obama said. "As a result, reductions in U.S. defense spending will not -- I repeat, will not -- come at the expense of the Asia Pacific."
The speech on the second day of his two-day trip to Australia, Obama's first as president, signaled a policy objective to compete head-on with China for influence in the region while also providing security assurances for allies. |

Oh, perhaps percentages instead of the nebulous term "loads of." And perhaps a clear and concise explanation of why you are anti-military instead of simply tossing out that term as though it's all that meaningful. |
Thank you for clarifying.
Most Koreans I've spoken with over the past 18 months or so, have stated that they would like to see a withdrawal.
I thought of you today and wanted to give you a better answer. I took a survey, ya see. I have great relationships with several of my coworkers.
Point Blank Question (to 16 teachers): Do you think the U.S. military should start withdrawing? 13 said yes. That's over 75%, right? I guess I've heard that from a total of 40 or so in my time here. 'Loads'? Eh, my choice of wording. I'll bet we could start an online poll.
What's the name of that site? Sentry? Have them start one. Betcha it'd be LOADS. |
You're either absolutely unaware of what constitutes a survey or you're trolling. Take a wild guess which I think applies.

I don't like most military endeavors around the world.
Do I reap the benefits of said military? Sometimes.
But, I would be successful anywhere...so, no matter.
Do I understand geo politics, foreign policy and military tactics more
than most people? Yes. I was a young, impressionable
soldier in my earlier days.
So, I am anti-military. Any more?
I'd go into failed operations, atrocities and the like....
That would be a whole other thread. |
Go for it. While you're at it, try to demonstrate that you actually do understand a few key concepts, such as determining what is representative of a group. Here's a hint to start you off: a few criminals out of hundreds of thousands of people is not representative of that entire group.
But since I'm firmly convinced now that you're simply trolling, I won't be feeding your craving. I will now demonstrate my understanding of DNFTT. |
