Harry Teague on Homeland Security

Continue to invest in our national defense

We cannot afford to compromise our national security, which is why I will work to continue to invest in our national defense, especially at Holloman Air Force Base, the facilities at White Sands and all of the military facilities in New Mexico. The war in Iraq has stretched our military too thin, it has cost too much both in dollars and, more importantly, lives. Getting out is the right thing to do, both for our troops and for our country.
