The AFF case withdraws U.S. forces from South Korea and hands over control of operational command (OPCON). Why? Allegedly because it costs too much to station troops in S. Korea and because Kim Jong Un is threatening to attack the U.S. The NEG strategy is simple. First, stationing the troops in S. Korea is much cheaper than housing them in the U.S. S. Korea pays 50% of their costs right now. After the AFF plan, we pay 100%. Second, withdrawing the troops would be a costly endeavor, in addition to finding them bases to stay at in the U.S. Beyond the logistical difficulties, the U.S. risks losing S. Korea into China’s sphere of influence, and risk nuclear proliferation in the region once our allies see we aren’t committed to countering China, N. Korea, and Russia. Finally, N. Korea wants a unified Korea and would be able to bully S. Korea into advantageous agreements. Even without their nukes, N. Korea poses a potent threat to Seoul and S. Korea. A forward U.S. presence acts as a deterrent against N. Korean aggression.
