National Security, Terrorism & Defense
It is a primary and Constitutional obligation of the federal government to provide for the common defense, to be vigilant regarding potential threats, prospective capabilities, and perceived intentions of potential enemies. The United States security policy should defend the national security interests of these United States.
I oppose disarmament and dismemberment of America's defense infrastructure.
The security threats facing the United States of America are real and must be met aggressively, and if needed, with force. The war on terrorism must continue if the enemies will not stop. Prisoners of war, which include terrorists, should be tried in military courts, not civilian courts.
I am unpersuaded that Islam is a religion of peace.
The United States must maintain a strong, state-of-the-art military on land, sea, in the air, and in space. The executive and legislative branches must continue to provide for the modernization of our armed forces, keep up with advancing technologies and a constantly changing world situation.
I fully support well regulated militias organized at the state level. Further, I fully support and encourage the restoration of unorganized militia at the county and community level in compliance with our patriotic and legal responsibilities as free citizens of these United States.
