Issue Position: National Security

Issue Position

National security should always be a top priority to maintain peace. Like generations before us, I support the current Administration's strategy to maintain a strong national defense and believe that we must remain vigilant in defeating those who would harm us. It is imperative that we maintain the upper hand in the war against the Taliban and Al Qaeda, which includes not ceding hard-earned ground to them in places like Afghanistan. I support the recommendations and strategies of Generals McChrystal and Petraeus, and believe that yielding the fight to the Afghans and bringing our troops home must be achieved after our commanders in the field are confident our security is improved and our exit will not produce a massive human rights tragedy for those we leave behind.
