The law increasing and organizing the military establishment of the United States has been nearly carried into effect, and the Army has been extensively and usefully employed during the past season.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think one of the great things about the United States has been our ability to maintain a distinction between our military and domestic law enforcement.
With the winding down of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States now has an opportunity to implement real defense reforms without having a serious impact on immediate battlefield needs.
In this ever-changing world, it's more important than ever that our top-notch military continues to receive the resources needed to serve and protect our country.
The United States is a violent military state. It's been involved in military action all over the place.
More than 48 million men and women have served America well and faithfully in military uniform.
War is, in fact, an extension of politics, and in any war, military operations have to be conducted in such a way that they contribute to sustainable political outcomes consistent with vital interests that are at stake in that war.
The military might of a country represents its national strength. Only when it builds up its military might in every way can it develop into a thriving country.
In general, it should be in our interest to get organizations out of military activity and into politics.
We need to ensure our men and women in uniform are equipped with the very best money can buy. We also have to make sure critical military technologies are developed in America and that the U.S. defense manufacturing base remains healthy and strong.
We have a sufficient political class, and the military doesn't have to get involved in high national office. The days of doing that, post-Civil War and post-World War II, are gone.
