One of the primary purposes of our federal governemnt is to provide us with a strong national defense. I believe in President Reagan’s creed: “Peace through strength”. I will always support the necessary funding to make sure that our heroic military has everything they need to keep our nation safe and fight to ensure that our veterans are well taken care of once they return home. That is the very least we can do for our heroes!

I believe that it is critical that jihadists and Muslim extremists are not allowed to gain access to nuclear weapons. This means stopping Iran from further developing their nuclear capability using whatever means necessary. This also means ensuring that Pakistan’s government does not fall to Al Queda or the Taliban operating in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Finally, we must secure our borders and keep our homeland safe. I would use all necessary personnel and resources to get the job done. It makes absolutely no sense to have our military spread out all over the world when our porous southern border allows criminals, drug traffickers and jihadists to continue to flood into our country doing tremendous damage to our nation and us citizens.
