USFK Commander Strongly Criticizes Concerns About Health Risks from THAAD Radar

I am glad to hear General Brooks say this because this is something that the left wing activists are implying that the US Army is intentionally letting its soldiers be exposed to dangerous electromagnetic waves which is not true:

U.S. Forces Korea Commander Vincent Brooks on Wednesday dismissed South Koreans’ concerns over health risks linked to the advanced missile interception system that will be deployed in the country by the end of 2017.

Despite efforts by the government to allay health risk concerns associated with the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system and its powerful radar, some residents of Seongju have called on the government to reconsider its decision. The county, located 296 kilometers southeast of Seoul, has been tapped to host the country’s first THAAD battery.

“None will be closer to the (THAAD) system than my soldiers. I would not recklessly endanger them under the circumstances where they are protecting someone else (in South Korea),” the commander told reporters after attending the 63rd anniversary of the Korean War Armistice Agreement held at the truce village of Panmunjom.  [Yonhap]

You can read more at the link, but the health risks have already been proven to be false when reporters had an opportunity to travel to Guam and see electromagnetic waves readings from the THAAD battery stationed there.  The readings showed the electromagnetic waves were well below what is required by Korean law.
