Albert Olszewski on War & Peace

 

 


War is last resort, but must stand firm

Our nation faces threats to its safety at many levels. From international conflict with North Korea and Syria, and our war against ISIS, America must remain vigilant and be prepared to defend itself at a moment's notice. Sending our troops into combat should only occur when all other methods of diplomacy have failed. I am committed to provide our troops with all the resources necessary to be successful in times of war and peace. We must stand firm with our allies to defend our freedoms.

When possible, we need to keep our troops out of harm's way

Sending our military into harm's way is the gravest decision any senator can make. Our nation faces threats to its safety at many levels. From international conflict with North Korea and Syria, and our war against ISIS, America must remain vigilant and be prepared to defend itself at a moment's notice. As a military physician trained to treat the casualties of war, I understand the true human costs of engaging in any type of military conflict. Sending our troops into combat should only occur when all other methods of diplomacy have failed.

Balance diplomacy with waging war as a last resort

Q: What is your foreign policy?

A: Force is legitimate but it should definitely be something we use only when there's no other resort. Nothing else is left for us to work with. So balancing diplomacy with the waging of war is something that I take very seriously.
