Tench Re..One concern I have is whether any sort of withdrawal would be seen as a sign of fear or declining commitment to South Korea's defense

Or it could be looked at as a reward to both Russia, and China. By pulling away from their support, N Korea is hardly a threat. Without Russia's modern jets, Korea could be as vulnerable as Iraq and Afghanistan was to air superiority and guided bombs. N. Korea can't even feed its people and is living off of handouts. I see a pullout as a win- win situation. S. Korea could easily win a war with N. Korea, we save money and ease tensions within their populace. Besides, we really don't need our troops in the Nato countries, so we should probably pull them out also.
