Strategically, Taiwan is a hell of a lot more important to US interests than the rock and dust piles many of those presently-committed troops are in. You'd hear a huge virtual sucking sound if Taiwan ever came under attack as the US rapidly (well, as rapidly as possible) pulled those troops out and redeployed them to someplace truly important.
