Talk:United States Forces Korea

message: 7th Air Force is not actually part of USFK it is a command under PACAF of PACOM.  The Commander, 7th Air Force is dual-hatted as the Commander for United States Air Forces Korea (USAFK) but none of the wings under 7th Air Force are part of USAFK.  This is a project for me after cleaning up UNC and CFC unless someone esle tackles it sooner. Gerswing (talk) 08:46, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inaccurate list of Components 

message: There are huge swathes of South Koreans who vocally oppose the US in Korea mission. This is surprisingly not mentioned anywhere on this page. Their very presence is a political campaigning point for South Korean politicians! Indigoloki (talk) 15:51, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism of US role in Korea 

message: Added a stub sign up front, reasons for are pretty obvious -  not enough information on a military presence that is likely to be one of the key issues in U.S. China relations in the coming years.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gw2005 (talk • contribs) 00:24, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :United States Forces Korea's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "60mins":
From James Joseph Dresnok: 
From Charles Robert Jenkins: "An American in North Korea", 60 Minutes, CBS Television. Produced by Robert G. Anderson and Casey Morgan.  Reported by Bob Simon.  First broadcast on January 28, 2007.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 08:38, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:United States Forces Korea]] 

message: The USFK commands US forces in the Korea theatre. To say that it is "the joint headquarters through which U.S. combat forces would be sent to the South Korea/US (ROK/U.S.) Combined Forces Command’s (CFC) fighting components — the combined ground, air, naval, marine and special operations forces component commands" is odd, verbose and surely incorrect.122.59.213.223 (talk) 06:43, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Headquarters through which forces would be sent? 

message: There needs to be an explanation of what Unit 10 Authority is - not just its purpose which supposedly is responsibility "for organizing, training and equipping U.S. forces on the Korean Peninsula so that forces are agile, adaptable and ready".122.59.213.223 (talk) 06:46, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unit 10 Authority 

message: I have no idea what this means : "In 2006, citizens of the United States (dual nationality) and permanent residents of the Republic of Korea refrained from conscripting the Republic of Korea and joined the US military. At the time, dual citizenship, who was deployed to the US Army in Germany, was banned from leaving the country due to a violation of the military service law while visiting a vacation vehicle. Another US permanent resident was placed on the blacklist of the Korea Military HR Administration but he was deployed to the USFK after joining the US Army" It needs to be translated into English122.59.213.223 (talk) 06:51, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: It’s trying to say that there’s been some controversy over whether dual-citizens in US Forces Korea are exempt from mandatory service in the Korean military. Korean prosecutors say that they aren’t, so a dual-citizen deployed to Korea is violating Korean law by being in Korea but not serving in the Korean military. Korea has since asked the US not to deploy dual-citizens to Korea in order to avoid the issue. There are more details (and references) in the Korean version of the article. I agree that the section needs some editing, but I’ll leave that to somebody that knows Korean (I’m just using Google Translate)… — Wulf (talk) 04:49, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

message: Section about the 1960s: First paragraph talks about Abshier and Parrish, but then goes on about "Jenkins'" autobiography.  Several paragraphs later is a paragraph about about Charles Jenkins.  Should the Jenkins Autobiography text be moved down to Jenkins' paragraph? Probably so but I won't make the change.
