Stop creating enemies; withdraw from foreign entanglements
Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Avoid foreign entanglements"?A: Strongly agree. We need to stop creating enemies; current military policy is wasting our money, sending young men and women into morally dubious employment, and making
us less safe. I will sponsor legislation to withdraw from NATO, end all foreign entanglements, downsize the military, shut down foreign military bases, and cut taxes accordingly.

U.S. in foreign civil wars is wrong and dangerous
Current international law holds soldiers accountable for war crimes, even if the order comes from above, but it does not classify the U.S. involvement in foreign civil wars as a war crime. I personally view U.S. involvement in foreign civil wars
as morally bankrupt and dangerous, and I believe that those involved in combat duty are engaged in morally bankrupt actions. I cannot agree with the view that those in the military share no culpability for the actions they do while in the military.
