I believe in a strong military to keep US free

I BELIEVE in a strong military. Freedom is not free and the best way to guarantee freedom is to recognize that there are others out there who want to take it away and to strongly defend against that possibility. The US has only remained free because we have always been a people ready to defend ourselves and others against the tyrants and dictators who seek to rule this world. To do this we must equip our soldiers with the best military training and equipment available. Source: Campaign website, www.electbernie.com, "I BELIEVE" Aug 11, 2010
