It is the function of the Navy to carry the war to the enemy so that it is not fought on U.S. soil.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think we look to the military as something that protects our shores.
The cooperation of navies from around the world promises high tactical value for the ships, aircraft, and divers involved; while demonstrating international resolve in defending maritime security against potential threats.
It's the role of a government to defend its soldiers and its citizens.
You don't need to be for or against the war to provide morale and support to the men and women who are fighting over seas. These are human beings who are doing a service.
In my opinion, any navy less than that which would give us the habitual command of our own coast and seas would be little short of useless.
It was essentially for self defence that we went to war in Afghanistan and would go to war in Iraq.
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.
No nation ought to keep a navy larger than is necessary to do police duty.
We pay for the navy, and we have no commerce for the navy to protect; we pay for the army, and we loathe and execrate the work upon which it has been engaged.
It is the job of our military to protect America and to hunt down and kill those who would threaten to murder Americans.
