FAMILIES of US military should leave South Korea because war between America and Pyongyang is “getting close”, according to a senior US Senator and ex-Air Force Colonel.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has warned that the rising tensions between the the US and Kim Jong-un’s corrupt regime means preparations for war need to be taken.
The member of the Senate Armed Services Committee warned the US was “running out of time” to prepare itself for war when speaking on CBS yesterday.
He said: “I want the Pentagon to stop sending dependents and I think it’s now time to start moving American dependents out of South Korea.

lindsey Graham was an Air Force Colonel??
8th Army has command and staff assignments that are accompanied tours.
Korea used to be unaccompanied (12 mo) for the 2nd ID and some other support units, but there were quite a few 8th Army HQs and USFK slots that had dependents with them since their tours were longer. Most of 2 ID is no longer there. There were (and probably still are) three or four DoD high schools in the country.
And risk tipping Guam over?
Yep. Between active duty, national guard, and reserves, he was in for about 33 years.
Very high level diplomatic psyops.
Yes, although it depends on the length of assignment. One year, no family, three years, family. At least this what happened to my kids recently.
