Issue Position

Killing Bin Laden was a significant benchmark in the War on Terror, but it wasn't the conclusion. When I was a Combat Surgeon with the U.S. Army in Iraq, I saw the effects of violent anti-American activism first hand. Whether it's Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, or other places around the world -- there are still far too many havens for terrorists who want to kill Americans. Starting with securing our borders and continuing with increased emphasis on intelligence gathering and expanded use of Special Forces teams like Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets, we must remain active and vigilant to ensure our nation remains safe and free.
