I didn't know where else to put this.
Why the U.S. Army Should Leave Korea | The New Ledger
Something REALLY important to take from this is:

The American security blanket has fostered a state of national adolescence by the South Korean public. Too many of them (some polls suggest most) see America as a barrier to reunification with their ethnic kindred in the North.

This is absolutely true. Koreans have a mandatory military service of 2 years, and almost every Korean man i've met is ridiculously feminine. They don't
want to be in the military, and their culture focuses more on guys being faggy-looking pretty boys (see: kpop thread) than valuing honor, strength, fighting, normal shit that just goes side by side with our evolutionary history and testosterone, and vital in wartime. To the very few US military i've actually been able to hold an intellectual conversation with, they basically see the Korean military as their annoying weakling little brothers. Apparently they have to hold their hand for everything.
About every time I take the subway, I see a Korean in military fatigues on leave for the weekend or whatever. Almost every single time, I see them carrying a boutique bag from some shopping center. The US needs to gtfo and let this nation of pussies grow up.
It reminds me of something the Vice.tv guy said in the Vice Guide to North Korea, something to the effect of:

If North Korea ever decides to go to war, the South is fucked. North Korean soldiers have been sleeping outside with their AK-47's and eating grass for the past 50 years, and kids from the South grew up playing Starcraft and watching K-pop
