July 2019 I attended the 50th Anniversary of Hill 4-11, Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam, 23rd Infantry Division my Infantry unit in Vietnam at Columbus, Georgia. We visited Ft. Benning and the National Infantry Museum where we old soldiers were given a special medal of appreciation and welcome home, it was an emotional moment.
There is fundamental difference between the US troops staying in S Korea and Japan. You will see S Korean president giving medals to US troops served in Korean war but you won't see Japanese prime minister giving medals to US troops for fighting Japanese during WW2. US troops are staying in S Korea not just for S Korean defense but also defense of the US from N Korean and Chinese ICBM because radars in S Korea will detect them 30 min before radar stations in Alaska giving enough time to intercept them. Also the US bases in Japan are in threat by Russian missiles but Russia will not attack US bases in S Korea because both S Korea and Russia has good relationship. Technically Japan and Russia is still in war because they never signed peace treaty after WW2 because Japanese want back islands after they started WW2 in Asia.
