   Yep. We still go there because we have an obligation to fulfill and because there is still a real threat.

   I was in the Marines, I visited Korea and it was mostly Army there at the time. It’s interesting though how we still have bases in Korea, Germany, Japan, the Phillipines, Cuba. Oh, that’s right, America is the peacekeeper of the world!
