After the intial post war occupation period, the US troops have been located in Japan and Germany at the request of those nations. Without our troops in Germany during the cold war, the German politicians knew they would be at the mercy of the Soviets. Now that the cold war is over and the military is modernizing, the disposition and deployment of US troops is being reviewed and changed. Many in the Korean military are very worried about the fact that the US is removing thousands of troops, and repositioning the remaining US troops far from the DMZ. Korean youth protests, and anti Americanism have caused a reassesment by the US. If they don’t want us there, we’ll be happy to leave. You can face off against a million N Korean troops by yourself then.
