#1 How about pulling out completely?

#2 Hopefully and incremental move to eventually separate from the peninsula.

#3 Let's stop this talk of abandoning the Korean peninsula. Let our forces be replaced with Japanese forces (defensive, of course).

#4 How about we just give em a few interceptor platforms, and slide out the back way.

#6 No intereceptors.

But a pullback is fine. Give them the Chinese hegemony they are begging for, and let them enjoy being caught between the Japanese hammer and the Chinese anvil.

#7 Take Murtha's advice. Support them from Okinawa. Errr..that's Guam now I guess. Who cares ? Just get our people out of there. The Japanese can and will provide all the support required.

#8 Pull back to Pusan, put up the bases and perimeter there. Suffucient theater depth where we can resuce the SKors liek we did before, port facility, room for airbases and exercises, and a natural set of defensive terrain forcing the Norks to operate at the LONG end of a logistical tether that they couldn't operate or protect any better than they did back in the first Korean war.
