Department of Defense President Speech

As President of the United States, I will make sure that our military stays in the best possible position and is ready to fight and defend our country at all times. I am not someone who wants to pick a fight with other countries, and I want to make sure that every man and woman who fights for the United States fights for a purpose, but as there are many countries out there that are hostile towards us, I feel that our military needs to be in the best shape it can be in at all times and is ready to defend and counter-attack any attack that happens to us.

Therefore, I think more research should go into advanced weaponry and military force, as well as more research being put into technology, as technology is helping to make our weaponry safer and more effective. Advancing in technology and technological weapons can help protect us from various countries where Islamic extremism is commonplace, and it can help us learn more about the threats that they are posing to us. As you probably know, the war on terrorism is a war that America needs to win in order to be safe and secure. Therefore, we will also need an excellent intelligence department that will be able to get information about our enemy and tell us about the plans they are making and how to defend ourselves better from those plans. If we fight this war intelligently against the terrorists instead of using brute force, less lives will be lost and everybody will benefit from the security and safety.

Missile defenses are another kind of defense that America needs to have in order to stay safe. Some people may cringe at the thought of missiles, but the missiles that we acquire are going to be used safely and securely and will only be used for security and never for a first attack. The missile defenses that we set up will intimidate hostile countries that also have missiles in place, such as Russia and China.

I also believe that to have a proper defense and to have safety, America needs to have more members in the armed forces. Right now, many men and women who have already fought in the armed forces at one time are now on their second, third, or even fourth tours of duty in Iraq or Afghanistan. I will not institute something such as a draft because I feel this way, but I think that army recruitment ads are vital to keeping our country safe and I feel that more Americans should be encouraged to help defend our country in order for everyone to be safe. All troops and families of troops that do join the armed forces will be treated well and will be given many opportunities with their loved ones. Veterans of the armed forces will be honored very well.

If you are going to have a good defense, you need to spend your money not sparingly, but wisely. If I am elected president, I will make sure that money that is spent on the armed forces is looked over very carefully and is put into the right places that will help protect all of America and not just certain interests that people have.

As you can see, all of my plans for the department of defense are in the interest of having a better defense, and therefore, keeping America safer and ready to defend itself if needed.
