Stop sending U.S. military families to South Korea?

停止送美軍家屬到南韓?

【摘要2020.12.6.自由】茅毅

U.S. Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Thursday suggested he favored an overhaul of a longstanding military policy that sends thousands of family members to live with forces deployed overseas.

美國陸軍將領、參謀首長聯席會議主席馬克麥利週四暗示,他贊成徹底修改美軍長久以來讓數千名眷屬和海外駐軍一同生活的軍事政策。

"If we were ever to have a conflict with Iran, those noncombatants would be at high risk," Milley said at an online event hosted by the U.S. Naval Institute. "The situation with North Korea, if something were to happen, then we would have a significant amount of ... U.S. military dependents in harm’s way."

麥利在「美國海軍研究所」主辦的一場線上活動中說,「要是我們與伊朗爆發衝突,那些非戰鬥人員將處於高度危險中」。「北韓的情況,要是發生什麼事,那我們將有大批的美軍眷屬處於險境」。

Any sudden decision to stop sending U.S. military families to South Korea could stoke anxiety. North Korea would likely see it as increasing American readiness for conflict.

任何突然停止將美軍家屬送去南韓的決定恐引發不安。北韓將很可能視此舉為美國正加緊備戰。
