Here’s a little of what Cain had to say about the Dept of Defense.
“Here’s why I want to be in a position where I can make a difference.”
1) I don’t want the priority to be on cutting. I want it to be on investing, and 2) I want to upgrade our … ballistic missile defense capable Aegis warships. And I would want to double that fleet. … So, I want to build our military and not tear it down.
“That would be the one that I could be excited about to help the generals and the commanders on the ground to get what they need to do what they do best – and that is to kick the you-know-what out of everybody in the world if something breaks out in other parts of the world.”
Savage said members of the military would “get a tingle up their spine” because they would love Cain, and he would “inspire confidence in the troops.”
First off, why? Secondly how are we paying for something that no one else thinks we need? This sounded to me like some phoney talking point Cain threw out there to sound intelligent on the subject.
