Whet Abort Kono?
Despite the fears of some senior members of Congress.
President Carter is continuing with his plan to withdraw U.S.
ground troops from South Korea.
Last month a largely sympathetic House subcommittee
heard from Maj. Gen. John K. Singiaub. the top military
officer tn South Korea who was removed from his post by
Carter for telling a reporter that the administration s
withdrawal plan would lead to a new war.
But the same day Singiaub was testifying on Capitol Hill.
Carter envoys were telling South Korean President Park
Chung Hee that the President was determined to remove
U.S. ground forces from South Korea within the next four or
five years. U.S. Air Force squadrons win remain in the
country.
The House Armed Services Committee is expected to ask
members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to give their opinions of
the Carter plan later this month. But technically, the
withdrawal would not require congressional approval and
those opposing it would have to light a backfire of public
opinion to keep the troops in South Korea.
Should U.S. ground forces be withdrawn?
Pre: .Airpower Sufficient
South Korea's population is more than twice as large as
North Korea's (34.6 million vs. 16.3 million) and her economy
is four times as prosperous.
In defending his plan last month. President Carter pointed
out that South Korea has massive, very healthy industries in
steel, shipbuilding, electronics, chemical industries. And
they have a much greater access to the Western
industrialized democracies for advanced equipment and
technology.”
The President's supporters argue that the vital U.S.
contribution to South Korea's defense is airpower, which can
be rapidly reinforced by other U.S. air units in the Pacific.
The air power will provide both a symbol of the U.S.
security guarantee and significant military assistance in case
of attack And perhaps more important, the air units would
avoid the risk of automatically entrapping the United States
in any new conflict
If North Korea today were to mass its numerically superior
tanks and planes to plunge across the border toward the
South Korean capital of Seoul, only 30 mites south, the 14,000
men of the U.S. 2nd Infantry Division would be blocking their
path.
The President would have only a very short time - if any -
to decide whether to commit the force or withdraw it. Careful
weighing of the options and consultation with Congress
probably would be impossible
Carter’s supporters in Congress argue that such automatic
involvement is support of South Korea is especially
dangerous because the U.S.
public would not support
another Asian war. particularly not one for the government of
Park Chung Hee.
"The American people will not tolerate our fighting
another land war in Korea." insists Rep. James P. (Jim)
Johnson (R Colo.). "So why do we not accept that fact and get
on with the gradual withdrawal?”
Calling the Park regime "one of the most vicious, one of
the most corrupt regimes in the post Wodd War II area."
Rep John Krebs (D Calif.) also supported the move "to
signal to the rest of the world that we mean what we say when
we talk about human rights.”
Can: Deterrent Symbol
Opponents of troop withdrawal claim that the continued
presence of the U.S. 2nd Division in South Korea is crucial as
a symbol of the U.S. commitment to that country. They
contend that air units based well south of the border do not
suffice as such a deterrent symbol
"The North Korean high command appreciates that with
air units out of harm's way.* it would take a deliberate,
agonizing U.S. national decision to commit them to battle.”
argues retired Army Gen Richard G. Stilwell, former chief of
the Korean command.
When be testified on Capitol Hill last month. Gen. Sigiaub
noted that the 2nd Division ts strategically placed close
enough to the border to deter the North Koreans but far
enough from the projected front line that it would not
automatically become entangled in combat at the very outset
Singiaub maintained that the President would retain full
freedom to weigh his options and commit the force or not as
he chose.
Opponents also argue that South Korea. Japan and other
U.S allies in Asia would be likely to infer from a ground force
withdrawal that the United States was wavering m its
commitment to South Korea. They vividly remember the U.S.
withdrawal from Vietnam and the refusal to provide even
ammunition during the final North Vietnamese offensive of
1975.
And although opponents do not condone the domestic
repression of the Park regime nor dismiss the importance of
human rights as a U.S. foreign policy interest, they feel the
strategic risks of a Korean »tthdrawal outweigh the moral
and political benefits of cutting off Park.
"The issue is the security of the United States and the
strength of its alliances with those freindly countries in the
Pacific basin.” argued Rep David C. Treen (R La.) tn
opposing the troop withdrawal "I do not say the issue of
human rights m Korea is not important, but I think it is a
different issue 1 do not think we should cloud the issue of
American security with that kind of side issue.”
