Congressional Budget Proposal Will Keep USFK Troop Levels the Same
No reductions in the U.S. troop presence in South Korea will be coming in the latest budget proposal:

U.S. troop levels in South Korea will remain the same under an annual budget proposal submitted to Congress by the House and Senate Armed Services Committees on Thursday.
Committee lawmakers from both chambers released their negotiated copy of the National Defense Authorization Act allocating $886 billion to fund the Defense Department through the next fiscal year.
Under the proposal, the roughly 28,500 U.S. troops deployed to South Korea will be maintained to affirm “the United States commitment to extended deterrence using the full range of … defense capabilities.”
Most of those troops are stationed at Camp Humphreys, the largest U.S. military base overseas, roughly 40 miles south of Seoul. It’s home to around 35,000 service members and DOD civilians and serves as headquarters for U.S. Forces Korea, Eighth Army, the 2nd Infantry Division and the Combined Forces Command.

Why do we need so many troops in South Korea?
It seems like we could still accomplish the mission with fewer troops.
I was told all the tranny and queers and diversity were force multipliers…
…but I don’t see any multiplication.
In fact, I kinda see the military as a whole looking as if it is full of force dividers.
This isn’t good.
I was told by that diversity hire who runs the military if Ukraine loses, America soldiers are going to be directly battling Russian soldiers in the streets Kansas City or something.
And Ukraine is going to lose in a big way.
Why do you need so many troops in South Korea? Good question. To fight against this, maybe?

Any time South Korea wants to end it, they are free to do so.
The only force multiplication is the supply budget for plus size trousers…
Any time South Korea wants to end it, they are free to do so.
South Korea does want to end it.
It is those right-wing wacko Russiabots, like setnaffa, CH, and Flyingsword who don’t want to end it.

I just had this argument yesterday.
South Korea called and said they wanted to end it.
“The hell you will,” I said.
“But, but, but–”
“No buts, South Korea. It ends when I say it ends.”
