The Problem:

  • American troops are the best in the world, but they have been spread thin by extended deployment.
  • President Obama’s doctrine and detachment and disengagement from foreign policy ultimately makes us less secure by increasing instability. The result?  We are more likely to face conflict around the world.
  • At the same time the Administration disengages from protecting American interest in places like Iran, it chooses adventurism in Libya, where US interests are unclear, without consulting Congress.

The Solution:

  • We must focus our efforts and resources on areas where our national interests are at greatest stake. We can cut wasteful spending in national defense, but mustn’t reduce our core capabilities.
  • Instead of playing politics with the military’s budget, we should listen  to our military experts and modernize our military to respond to today’s current threats.
