Exactly. Remember there was merely an armistice in this conflict. No real end to the war itself...we could go hot in a second. But primarily our role along the DMZ is not to keep the north from attacking south. It's to keep the south from attacking north.
This is a sensitive issue for me. My wife has a close family member still MIA from 1953. He was shot down as a UN Observer on a U.S. bombing mission just six months prior to the end of the war. There was a rare UN commando mission run by a unit codenamed White Tiger who tried to rescue this downed crew and the evidence seems to be that they were decoyed into a communist trap and nearly wiped out. My wife's uncle never came home. Why? He along with several HUNDRED other POWs were kept by the communists for their backgrounds in science. Our government just abandoned them and remains steadfast in denial. Ike knew. Truman Knew. Kennedy knew so did every other President to right now.
