"protecting america can’t be done with special operations alone or just by lobbing drones and cruise missiles at the enemy. (that was the clinton strategy, which failed.) seal team six may have gotten bin laden, but it was because conventional forces chased him out of afghanistan, we rounded up prisoners and sent them to gitmo to be interrogated, and we established a presence in afghanistan to hold bin laden at bay and then launch operations against him. a strong military and special operations strategy go hand in hand. the troops who have been fighting this battle since 2001 are brave warriors who deserve the best equipment and tools to get the job done."
