FILE - In this May 26, 1977 file photo, Major Gen. John K. Singlaub testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington before a House Armed Services subcommittee on the military situation in Korea. Singlaub, the fourth-ranking American officer in Korea, was removed from his post for saying President Jimmy Carter's U.S. troop withdrawal plans would lead to war. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has alarmed U.S. allies in Asia and elsewhere by suggesting that American military support should depend on their willingness to pay. But he would not be the first U.S. president to consider shaking up time-honored military deployments.Four decades ago, then-President Carter tried to withdraw American troops in South Korea, and failed. He wanted to trim fat from the U.S. defense budget and put pressure on South Korea over human rights abuses, but hit a wall of opposition in his own administration and in Seoul. (AP Photo, File)
