I believe for too long our national defense needs have been neglected and major problems caused by obsolete equipment. inadequate funding. and lack of planning have been ignored. The passage of this defense bill represents a turning point in Americas attitude toward its own security and that of the free world. What we have momentarily forgotten. and what world events and the tales of immigrants have continually conveyed to us. is that the freedoms which this country has fought so hard for and which we enjoy today. do not come guaranteed. The price tag on this defense authorization bill is truly expensive. but what price does one pay for security and freedom? It is not enough to espouse ones right to such liberties. one must be willing to safeguard and protect them.
