Seems to me that boots on the ground along the Southern border makes more sense than in most of the ME or even on the DMZ in Korea (I assume they’re still there), at least in this case.
This is a fight we will win. It’s just a matter of if and how many injuries and casualties there are. And hurt feeeeeelings.
No, the US Army no longer has soldiers on the DMZ. The ROK Army completely took that over a long time ago, except for a few people at the JSA.
