Why is the US Military In South Korea?

It doesn’t make any sense. South Korea’s GDP is 30 times greater than the North, and climbing. South Korea has twice as many people. A technologically developed country like S. Korea could develop a nuclear deterrent in a matter of months. South Korea can easily afford to deter the North from invading, simply by possessing nukes and being willing to use them, if faced with northern aggression.

So  why risk the lives of 30,000 Americans by placing them within the reach of a deranged, murderous movie-buff?
