JOHN M. McHUGH: “I support U.S. accession to the Law of the Sea Convention.”

Honestly, I wish I had better news to share, but today we find our Army at a very dangerous crossroads which, if we as a nation choose the wrong path, may severely damage our force.

As Russian-backed forces rolled into Ukraine, annexed Crimea, and threatened regional stability, our soldiers rapidly deployed to Eastern Europe in a demonstration of U.S. commitment and resolve.

To use an ax to cut an additional half trillion dollars from defense spending would be perilous enough.

Fiscal restraint for defense and fiscal largesse for everything else.
