To me the courage to rethink defense must include over a dozen major reforms inside the Pentagon, but more importantly a strategic one: we need to stop being interventionists, covert warriors, world police. There will always be a need to keep a sharp spear, but we are engaged in far too many places for reasons that defy any reasonable definition of the national interest.
Only issue I agree with Rand Paul
Agreed. Every Congressman who votes to send our soldiers into combat should watch “Lone Survivor” and “American Sniper” first, then make damn certain there is a vital national interest at stake.
