Al Carns: “The character of conflict is changing faster than our procurement can keep up with. We are still purchasing capability…”

We need to see a vision, we need to see the plan because unfortunately a vision without a plan is a dream.

But we are fighting amongst each other to get more money for the key unifying principle of the of any government, which is to protect this nation.

We are no longer packaging up our military to deploy to a foreign field, but being ready to fight from here, right from the home base, for democracy, for the right to self-determination and for European security.

There comes a point when honesty requires action. And for me, that point came last week.
