It's taken a lot of presidents to get us where we are today, a lot of deployments, a lot of wars, a lot engagements. You add them all up.
From Jon Huntsman, Jr.
What is important is that you're honest with the American people.
If we can't find cuts in the defense budget, we're not looking carefully enough.
I'm surprised that we've gotten to a point where we don't put our country first and put our party first.
It's a tribal state, and it always will be. Whether we like it or not, whenever we withdraw from Afghanistan, whether it's now or years from now, we'll have an incendiary situation. Should we stay and play traffic cop? I don't think that serves our strategic interests.
If you can't define a winning exit strategy for the American people, where we somehow come out ahead, then we're wasting our money, and we're wasting our strategic resources.
