“Do the math on how much WE (the taxpayers) are paying for this utter folly....28,500 troops (per Dept of State) x $110,000/yr per head (per CBO). Over 3 BILLION $$$ per year!”
The Korean War wasn’t exactly a free ride. I suspect that Korean War 2 won’t be all that cheap either. I prefer to spend a few billion a year (if that’s even true) to having to sacrifice another 40,000 (or more) Americans.
And yes, we will (again) get drawn in. We are NOT going to let Japan fall, and that WILL be the result of putting our heads in the sand. Japan is simply too big (economically) to become our enemy (after they’re taken over).
Why do we need to "sacrifice" any more Americans in Korea?
For what?
