Defense Issues
-Gitmo: Amend it, don't end it. Establish a protocol that is set in stone, no exceptions or loopholes and document (audio, written, or otherwise) detainer-detainee interaction. Stop serving them fancy food, only beans and cheapest fruit possible (maybe let them grow their own if it saves us money).
-Iraq: We should have gone in with twice as many troops, better equipped, and with the reason we have now
-"Policing" the world: It's sometimes necessary, but don't beat around the bush as Bush does with the hand-cutting Saudi Kingdom.
-War on Terror: REAL energy independence (what happens when we run out of all of our oil, no matter how long into the future?); deep involvement in Israel-Palestinian relations; protect our borders (land and maritime); fund cities, not fly-over country (the terrorists ain't gonna bomb Wyoming, they look for economic and population centers); debt relief for Africa
-Armed Forces: We treat them like crap. They only deserve the best supplies and a good standard of living, not food stamps and lip service.
-Woman in the military: Of course.
