THE TIME HAS COME FOR A NEW POLITICAL PARADIGM

Defense Policy

(Addressing proactive and reactive defense capabilities
against foreign and domestic threats)

1. Limit the commitment of combat troops
   • Commit the United States military to potential combat operations only:
     • When there is an immediate or impending threat to the security and interests of the United States that is supported by substantive and corroborated evidence
     • When it is required to fulfill our Nation’s obligations under approved treaties and alliances (e.g., NATO, etc.)
2. Orchestrate the withdrawal of United States troops from foreign countries (with the concurrence of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) as follows:
   • Withdraw U.S. troops from any country that has not requested our military presence
   • Withdraw U.S. troops from any country that has requested our military presence but has undermined our troops’ safety or effectiveness
   • Withdraw U.S. troops from any country in which the Joint Chiefs of Staff determine that the common defense of the United States as well as our international obligations can be fulfilled without an active presence
     • Coordinate and phase all such withdrawals in a manner that best protects the safety of our troops and, then, the safety of those for whom our troops were originally deployed to protect
3. Redeploy returning troops to military bases on the northern and southern borders of the United States
   • Build and / or expand military bases on the northern and southern borders of the United States to accommodate such returning troops
   • Patrol such borders to provide for the common defense of the United States against all potential threats that may use such borders to illegally enter or otherwise threaten the security of our Nation
   • Use such exercises to maintain a state of readiness to remain the most efficient and effective military in the world
4. Continue to support world-wide humanitarian relief initiatives in the event of natural disasters
   • Save lives and build good will on a global basis by utilizing the superior logistics capabilities of the United States military as well as its ability to stabilize volatile environments
5. Maintain and increase the technological superiority of the United States military
   • Continually work to reduce the exposure to risk incurred by members of the United States military in traditional war-fighting environments
   • Future military action and terrorist activities can be expected to include significant cyber-based components.  As such, our Nation needs to aggressively invest in protecting its vital infrastructure against cyber-attacks (e.g., utilities, secured information systems, etc.) and elevating its ability to proactively engage in this emerging type of war fighting environment
6. Public sector employment preference
   • Retired and Honorably Discharged military personnel should be given a preference with respect to public sector positions for which they have equivalent capabilities as compared to the other top candidates
     • The private sector would be encouraged to do the same at its discretion
