“The cold war world is over. We are no longer a bipolar world. Unfortunately, we have gone from being a bipolar world to becoming a singularly polar world. For the first time since the end of the fifth century, we are the sole superpower on the planet. There is only one superpower for the first time since the end of the Roman Empire. If we are going to be the world's policeman, as the gentleman argued that we should have been in Bosnia and in Haiti and in Somalia and around the four corners of the globe while taking care of our troops, we are going to have to make an investment. If we want to ensure that our men and women who are enlisted can serve this country without the fear of having to be on food stamps, then we have to make an adequate investment. If we want to make sure that service families do not continue to deteriorate and fall apart because the President has fired 300,000 people in the military, and he is still asking them to do more with less and more with less, year in and year out and year in and year out, then we are going to have to make an investment.”
