This is why 28,500 troops are still in Korea.

115. Removing North Korea would be a threat for a couple of different reasons

1) The Seoul Metro Area is close enough that North Korea could still partially level the area with almost 25 million people and cripple the economy.

2) China is still an ally and the reaction to us going in and removing him would suck us into a conflict with them.

On the flip side, the removal of the 28,500 troops and all US military equipment would essentially be a surrender and could lead to the possible second invasion of South Korea by the North.

I find it interesting how you mock South Korean's parliament and government after conceding the point that South Korea is in fact a democracy.

It seems as though you like to rehash this same topic about every 6 months or so without fail. I have no problem talking about it, if it discussed in the context of reality.
