Not a bad policy but the act of loading and moving the very equipment you trained with has its own value to the force. Logistics can be a perishable skill too.

I wonder if the draft is renewed if the children of those guys who ran to Canada will run to Canada.

SFC Davis posted this same article earlier as https://www.rallypoint.com/shared-links/army-will-no-longer-rotate-tank-units-to-korea-but-the-tanks-are-staying?urlhash=7756344 My response there was:
This article SHOULD HAVE BEEN on duffleblog!
But, of course, there is nothing to worry about. We are leaving the tanks behind just in case the North Koreans decide to attack -- that way we can arm the North Koreans to face the Taliban.
The only question is whether we have abjectly given up on defending South Korea or if we hope to have time to deploy another Task Force Smith

MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. - At least with a Stryker brigade they will be able to head south faster than the North Korean tanks.
