maybe it's because we are the military of the free world. When we send 150K troops to a war and Canada sends 500, Britian 5000 and the UN 3000 with no guns in white tanks (that we're paying for anyway) it's time to stop paying for dinner. But by no means should this affect the American soldiers' salary and or benefits. I say let little brother S. Korea show what he's got. Time to leave the nest. And once that bird flies we can decide who flies next.
