Contract with America Legislative Proposal #7: Revitalize our National Security System
Revitalize our national security system to meet 21st century threats by restructuring and adequately funding our security agencies to function within a grand strategy for victory over those who seek to kill us or to limit American freedom.
The current leadership of the United States is severely out of touch with the escalating dangers that threaten our security.
As American presidents have traditionally found, our nation’s peace and safety is best maintained through a robust military capacity, tireless vigilance, and a clear strategy for identifying and countering potential threats—a policy widely known as “peace through strength.” Adherents of such a policy do not seek confrontation. To the contrary, America leads the world in spending on the military and on national security precisely to ensure that our wars are as rare and as swift as possible.If the people’s security cannot be assured, the unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are meaningless, which is why the first responsibility of government is to defend the nation. In the preamble to the Constitution, providing “for the common defense” is identified as a primary reason for forming the new government.
This world is in danger of becoming dramatically more dangerous in the not-too-distant future, and we need to overhaul our entire strategy now if we intend to continue being the safest, freest and most prosperous country in the world.
It is very dangerous for Washington to consider dismantling key parts of our national security structure during a time of war. When we convey weakness and confusion, we become most vulnerable to attack. As Ronald Reagan warned in 1980, “We know only too well that war comes not when the forces of freedom are strong; it is when they are weak that tyrants are tempted.”
General John Abizaid, former Commander of the Central Command, points out that in America “there is a bigger strategic deficit than the fiscal deficit.”
We need to be able to discuss the threats that face us in a clear and open manner. The courage to be free is only sustained by the moral capacity to distinguish between good and evil. If evil cannot be called by name, we will not be able to deter—or even recognize—threats to our nation. Likewise, if we cannot proclaim the righteousness of our values, then we won’t be able to mobilize the spirit necessary to defend America.
The next Administration and Congress must decisively address the following realities:
- There are very, very different challenges emerging simultaneously and each requires a fundamentally different strategic response.
- The bureaucracies of national and homeland security, intelligence, diplomacy and space activities are all decaying in their effective implementation capability and are wrapped up in red tape and inefficiency.
- Our military infrastructure has become dangerously outdated, with our arsenal and equipment in urgent need of new investment.
- There are new emerging technologies endangering us – for example, electromagnetic pulse weapons, cyberwar, and lawfare, which we are not prepared to deal with.
- American leaders are tired after seven decades of being the world’s preeminent power, and are very resistant to putting in the time and energy it will take to understand the emerging threats and the necessary responses.
We need a new strategy that is as decisive and comprehensive as our bold and unprecedented response to the rise of the Soviet threat after World War II. It will streamline our security, intelligence and diplomatic departments, and recapitalize our military infrastructure.
This bill would be the beginning of that process, not the end.

While focusing on this proposal, keep it in mind we have internal growing security issues, when you go to these links. I believe they are all still active, if not, sorry.

Donna in some ways I agree, but overall I have to disagree. When watching the debates recently you see Romney "manning up" and go after Newt. Now I don't agree with his perversion of the truth mind you, but he did show a spine for once. You can see that this process has indeed sharpen the candidates. Granted it's gotten a bit out of control. I am angered by the smears levied at Newt. Most dishonest and distortions of the truth.

Hate to say it, but both candidates are behaving like petulant, spoiled children. "yes you did", "no I didn't" etc.etc. The longer this continues, the more votes you're putting into Ojammies bucket.
Please knock off the petty mox-nix stuff and stick to beating Ojammie...

I am a firm believer that the Fed Gov's FIRST priority is to keep this country safe AND to protect its people's freedoms. If our military is strong, our enemies just might think twice about coming after us for fear of what we are capable of doing. Not to say we would, but fear can be a great deterant. :)

As a voter with 13 years of military experience, (4 axtive, 9 reserve), I have seen us shift more and more toward a reliance on the reserve. If you consider the cost of retraining these men to use the modern weapons and technology, this is a high risk policy. As we saw in the start of the present conflicts, the equiptment the reservs brought to the war was not up to the standards oof todays combat. (Remember the poor armor etc) We need a larger full time force. We need more and better training for the reserves in the interum. This will not save money, but it will save lives and after conflict cost.
