You have to remember that NK is in Chinas sphere of influence. Anything we do to them risks Chinese intervention in support of NK. Besides, stationing more troops in South Korea only puts them squarely in the NK nuclear bullseye.

China in the early 1950's was a very different country than it is today. In the event of a war between North Korea and UN forces today, I really doubt that China would interfere against the US and its allies. And about the "nuclear bullseye", does that mean that we should just leave S. Korea- Oh my gosh, we might be in danger! Lets get out of there! How about Japan, that's in the 'nuclear bullseye" too! I guess we should just let North Korea be then... Gee, I would have loved to have seen your strategy for the Cold War!
