Not since the 1950s. Ah, my parents still remember when South Korea was a de facto undemocratic Socialist country that was officially approved by the American government.

If there really is that much sympathy towards the North Koreans though then perhaps the US needs to wash its hands of the Korean peninsula altogether and just focus on protecting Japan.

South Korea makes effort to lean America-friendly AND express some respect and appeasement to North Korea with low level civil cooperations. It is because North Korea is South Korea's other brother.
I agree with US military to get out of South Korea... and Japan. But most of the US bases are at Okinawa, how will that protect Japan's Home Islands against the possible North Korean threat?
