Seattle: Rally demands: ‘U.S. out of Korea!’
A rally in Seattle on Aug. 15 demanded that the U.S. military force that has been occupying South Korea since the 1950-53 war, now numbering 27,000 troops, be withdrawn. It also demanded an end to the U.S.-led militarization of the Pacific and to stop using Korea as a launching pad for a U.S. war against the People’s Republic of China.
