Dana Rohrabacher: “I have visited troops in the last few months as well and American troops are stretched thin throughout the world…”

“I have visited troops in the last few months as well and American troops are stretched thin throughout the world, whether it is in the Persian Gulf or whether it is in Asia. We have a situation where thousands of American military personnel lives are on the line. They are being put in jeopardy because we do not know how to say no. We do not know how to lay or to set the parameters. Has our involvement in the Balkans so far been worth the $12 billion that we have spent and the stretching out of our military forces? Yes, we have been lucky that there has not been a major crisis. But had there been a major crisis during this time period, yes, we can be proud of those military guys that were there, and they have done a good job, but the fact is that $12 billion that we have spent, and stretching our forces in that way, could have resulted in a catastrophe. We are talking about the loss of thousands of American lives. But we have been lucky. We have been very lucky. I do not think we can try this again.”
