What does the Philippines have to do with Korea? Philippines is not confronted by a 1 million man adversarial army. US left Philippines same as US left Panama - with no reason to stay other than convenience. UT's post is irrelevant to Korean contingency plans.
I think UT was trying to demonstrate, by using a recent example, that it is the policy of the United States not to station its troops, in time of peace, in countries where the government and the popular will of the people is overwhelmingly opposed to their presence.

That's all.

You were just confused because it didn't take him eleven paragraphs of gibberish to make his point.
