미 합참의장 “주한미군 등 해외 미군, 영구주둔 재검토 필요”<br /><br />A top U.S. military officer says Washington should reconsider its long practice of stationing troops and their families in allied countries, including South Korea.<br />During an online briefing on Thursday, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley said the military should be more selective and rotational rather than permanent.<br />Milley said if there's an armed conflict with Pyeongyang, there would be a "significant amount of non-combatant U.S. military dependents in harm's way."<br />His remarks also come amid ongoing cost-sharing negotiations between Seoul and Washington. The U.S. is demanding that South Korea pays more to keep some 28-thousand American troops on the Korean peninsula.<br />
