bonk User ID: 15154786 United States 04/27/2012 09:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | First time posting. I was a little curious if there was a timetable that was announced when the government would move the 9,000 Marines? I believe the troops won't be moved around for a long numbers of years. IMO I believe it's just news telling the public, while nothing really changes in the back. I find this similar to the case in South Korea. The South Korean and the US government agreed to close down bases and cut the numbers of troops stationed in South Korea. That agreement was made almost a decade ago. One the major plans were the move the main U.S. Military (mostly Army) base that is located smack dab in the middle of Seoul, South Korea. The South Korean government even drove out farmers in the Norther Area, outside of Seoul to start building a new base. However you almost see no progress of moving, even after all these years. Although a couple of small bases have closed down, the number of troops didn't really dramatically go down. None of the main bases such as Yongsan, in Seoul or Osan Air base outside of Seoul has had changes to get ready to move. I don't know about the Air base, but the base in Seoul has had numbers of "improvement", such as a big over pass connecting the 2 bases have been made. These improvements were made years after the agreement to move. The base in Seoul even added streetlights, people drive 15mph on the base. So the street lights aren't really necessary, just need stop signs and it's only two lanes around the whole base. The number of children attending the schools on the Seoul base has increased more and more. The base commander even said he wanted to increase the numbers of Military families, instead of troops who are single. Anyways just my 2cents. Oh and btw I saw something about the DMZ. The DMZ on the South Korean side is now based with South Korea, and UN forces. The US Military handed over the DMZ to the UN, although there are still some American troops there, and the UN commander is also American. Last Edited by bonk on 04/27/2012 09:56 AM |
