For the edification of some friends I have posted some material which is related to Americas defenses.
The document “Rebuilding Americas Defenses” is available for download along with the August 6th Presidential Daily Briefing.

As an American citizen I fully understand the need for a strong America. Especially in the last decade when many of our traditional enemies have become weakened it is wise to contemplate the options. This document was written at the end of the cold war and it seemed like America could use its power as a force of good around the world.
America has been increasingly looked upon as the global ‘traffic cop’ who must assist every third world nation against oppression and injustice. I believe that America has been a force of good and that the majority of the world really loves the American dream.
A strong America would ensure that the oppressive systems of communism and socialism would not be able to subjugate peoples around the world. It was a bit naive to believe that communism and socialism would cease with the downfall of the Soviet Union. These systems have flourished and prospered within our own country. Only in America can people live quite comfortably and yet have a sense of self-loathing, as if the country they live in is evil.
I have always been a firm believer that capitalism is really the way of the world. People have opportunity in America to rise or fall to any level. It is not always easy but I believe that life in America must be precious because so many people come here.
It is sad that being strong requires maintaining a strong armed force. Our founding fathers knew that they had to fight to be free. Freedom comes at the cost of having to stand strong against the forces which wish to defeat you. I have faith that the day will come when we will no longer have to fight to achieve peace.
