US Troops To Re-Deploy From South Korea
Some 3,600 troops will be deploying to Iraq from South Korea. Troops from the 2nd Brigade will be deployed to Iraq for up to a year. The brigade was selected because it had not done a tour in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Some in South Korea fear any cut in U.S. military presence might weaken its defense readiness against the million-man army of North Korea, the world's fifth largest military.
Korea is the last remaining "front" from the cold war. While there mission in S. Korea is vital so to will be their role in Iraq.
I think in one respect any diminishment of troop numbers in S. Korea could be a bad thing. On the other side of the coin is the relatively small number, 3,600, isn't even a tenth of the troops on the peninsula.
To the troops of the 2nd Brigade, keep your head down and spirits up.
It is nice to see that the scandals have slowed just enough for us to hear of regular troop deployments and re-deployments.

At any rate I wish them a safe journey and a safe deployment and an early return to home.
We have to watch the enemy within also, just ran across this.
