Our military should be trained and structured around missions, not the elements of air, water, and land.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think we look to the military as something that protects our shores.
Except for naval and air exercises, our military should be stationed on American soil, where service men and women can lead normal lives in close proximity to family and friends.
While we are deploying troops in their thousands, we lose the chance to build up their basic skills.
We ask the military to be in a position that, if we ask them to do a task, they are absolutely able to do it for us.
Our military should spare no expense to ensure the safety of our troops, particularly as they confront a hostile insurgency and roadside bombs throughout Iraq.
Our servicemen and women are highly trained, highly skilled, and the most professional fighting force in the world.
Before they deploy, they train for the specific operations, but there is a danger that the Army is not retaining the core of its full capabilities.
We don't thrive on military acts. We do them because we have to, and thank God we are efficient.
Every soldier should learn survival on land, sea, and in the air.
If you want to go anywhere in modern war, in the air, on the sea, on the land, you must have command of the air.
