“there are those who say we need to support our troops. The question is what troops, the same troops we have sent out three and four times? I have asked my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to please look at the armed services numbers and see the strain that we are putting on our military. I have also asked them to think about if they had family members there, would they still be talking about supporting the troops in such a way as to put them in harm's danger? Supporting our troops means getting them out of a civil war. Support our country by caring for our own people and bringing our money home to protect our borders in this country. We need to spend money to build our military back up. We need to protect our borders, and we need to support our troops and support their families by bringing our troops home now.”
