Before writing a journal, I would like to talk about my opinion about US army. Although USA wants to reduce defense budget, we could as much as save money.
I think that the alliance between Korea and USA is firm and strong. Frankly we need US army. Because of US army, we reduced a national defense budget.
Through the presentation, I learned practical criminal rate about US Army. Between Korea and USA made a contract. That is SOFA. According to SOFA, If US army commit a crime, we did not take into custody for questioning by the prosecution. Because of the US army demanded the delivery of the suspect. That is very important matter. Contrary to petty crime, If US army commits serious crime we should have to take into custody. If so, taking into custody is very important for investigation. The USA said, ”the South Korea is America’s allies, and the close partnership between Korea and the USA will continue.” I think if this opinion is sincere, Korea and USA have to change the SOFA. What we really want is claim our rights about offender of US army.
