Its past time to start listening to serious men and women, and stop making soap opera-American Idol-like decisions regarding those we support. This is life and death! Former Governor Romney wrote this powerful article. I couldnt agree more with his analysis. Russia invades, China bullies, Iran spins centrifuges, the Islamic State (a terrorist threat “beyond anything that we’ve seen,” according to the defense secretary ) threatens — and Washington slashes the military. Reason stares. Several arguments are advanced to justify the decimation of our defense. All of them are wrong. Romney continues, This month, the Army is on track to be the size it was in 1940, the Navy to be the size it was in 1917, the Air Force to be smaller than in 1947 and our nuclear arsenal to be no larger than it was under President Harry S. Truman. The history of the 20th century teaches that power-hungry tyrants ultimately feast on the appeasers — And in the meantime, our economy would be devastated by the disruption of trade routes, the turmoil in global markets and the tumult of conflict across the world. Global peace and stability are very much in our immediate national interest. Freedom isnt free!
