" Does it not bother her that, as the Sultan points out, Rand Paul compared the U.S. military to Hitler? Hellooooo . . "

The author is a moron. That was Ron Paul the dad, not Rand Paul.

RAND PAUL on the military.

-Rand Paul

I believe that the primary Constitutional function of the 
federal government is national defense, bar none.

I believe our greatest national security threat is our lack 
of security at the border. On 9/11, 16 of 19 hijackers were 
here on ‘legal’ student Visas but were not in school or in 
the states they were supposed to be in.

Ten years later we are still not policing who we grant Visas
to. We gave a Visa to a Nigerian who had made two trips to 
Yemen, bought a one way ticket with cash and no baggage and 
his dad tipped off the US Embassy that he had been 
radicalized.

I propose a moratorium on Visas from about ten rogue nations
or anybody that has traveled to those nations. I would keep 
this in place until our government proves they can manage 
intelligently our Visa process.

I believe we try the terrorists captured on the battlefield 
in military tribunals at GITMO. I do not believe in trying 
them in civilian court.

I believe that when we must fight, we declare war as the 
Constitution mandates and we fight to win. That we fight 
only under US Commander and not the UN.

I believe that defending this country is the primary and 
most important Constitutional function of our federal 
government.
