Our armed forces need adequate pay to attract competent people. We need spare parts to maintain our weapons. We need training in simulated combat situations. Fifth, we need to completely overhaul our counter-intelligence system. There is no question that this administration has presided over the worst breakdown of national security secrets in the history of our country.
National security begins with an attitude right at the top.
We have had a President who has completely squandered the national security. The vice-president, sorry Al, has been complicit in all of these matters. Perhaps most importantly of all, we need to understand what the role of the United States is in the world. We are the last, best hope of mankind in a dangerous world. If we become weak and irresolute in defense of freedom and democracy, there will be no one standing behind us with a reserve force.
