THAAD is there mainly protect the US troops and people in the US mainland. It would be in America's best interests to have THAAD. THAAD does not protect South Korea...North Korea could destroy Seoul in minutes and THAAD can't protect against those type of missiles. SK does pay the US troops to be in SK, so It's not like they're getting everything for free.

Not trying to be a smart arse but to learn more.
So are you saying that if missiles are fired over the heads of US soldiers and just at Seoul then THAAD won't be employed?

Yes and no. It is to protect US Troops in SK, but the NK does not have a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead that can reach the mainland.

If it is protecting our troops in SK, how in the world can it not be protecting SK?

If true, then THAAD is not protecting our troops, either. You can't have it both ways.

This is true. they have been paying a portion since 1991. (I don't know what our portion is)
