Sam
Johnson on National Security
 Supporting
our troops
As a 29-year Air Force veteran and a Prisoner of War in Vietnam
for nearly seven years, I know what it's like to serve
your country far away from home and feel like some of your fellow
Americans don't care about you.
I will not let that happen again as we have a new generation of
men and women serving in harm's way.
Time and time again I have stood up for our brave and selfless
men and women in uniform. By the grace of God, I will do anything
and everything I can in Congress to make sure our troops on the
ground have the tools they need for success. Funding our troops
and their mission is the only option!
We must remember that America's service men and women volunteer
to dedicate their lives to the armed forces. They commit their
lives to this country willingly and that's something few other
countries can say. We're so richly blessed by their service. There
is no mandatory service requirement, also known as the draft,
and I want to keep it that way.
Winning
the Global War against Terrorism
As
a former fighter pilot, I want our troops to come home from Iraq
and Afghanistan safely and soon — when the time is right.
Members of Congress and the United States Senate have constantly
tried to micromanage this war from the beginning by pulling
out our troops and setting timetables.
Fortunately our Commander-in-Chief has listened to our Generals
on the front lines. Thanks to the surge, our men on the ground
have made tremendous strides in Iraq and I will stand up and be
counted in Washington as their strongest advocate.
Promoting
America's resolve
We
have been facing terror attacks on our citizens around the world
since the early 1990's. We stand united for this country's security.
On September 11th, the terrorists successfully shook our hearts,
but they will not shake our foundations or our resolve. We're
battling radical Islamists bent on promoting terrorism. We
cannot stand down.
We will not live in fear in our own homes, schools and churches.
That is why I am committed to keeping this country safe and doing
all that we can to ensure that America will always be the land
of the free and the home of the brave.
