Rotate troops out of South Korea
In response to a recent Associated Press article regarding the release of the South Korean hostages, I met with two of my fellow servicemen from the Korean War, and we think we have a solution to the problem.
First, allow the 200 plus South Korean troops in Afghanistan to go home. We in turn will send two companies of our Special Forces from their South Korean bases to Afghanistan to bolster our own forces already there. It is our belief that it is time for the South Koreans to take full responsibility for their security. I believe we still have 30,000 plus members of our military serving in South Korea.
Others could be rotated to bases in need in Iraq.
