John McCain said...
We will ensure that our Alliance has the modern, deployable, and connected forces that we need for the next decade and beyond. We will do this through a renewed culture of cooperation called 'Smart Defense' . . . We call it 'Smart Defense' because it is about spending defense money in a smarter way. The smarter way is to prioritize, to specialize, to cooperate, to focus on not just what we cut, but on what we keep. And to choose multi-national solutions instead of unilateral solutions.
