Cheney 2000:
"For eight years, Clinton and Gore have extended our military commitments while depleting our military power. Rarely has so much been demanded of our armed
forces, and so little given to them in return. George W. Bush and I are going to change that, too.
I have seen our military at its finest, with the best equipment, the best training, and the best leadership. I'm proud of them.
I have had the responsibility for their well-being. And I can promise them now, help is on the way. Soon, our men and women in uniform will once again have a
commander-in-chief they can respect, one who understands their mission and restores their morale."
Kerry 2004:
"We will add 40,000 active duty troops - not in Iraq, but to strengthen American forces that are now overstretched, overextended, and under pressure. We will
double our special forces to conduct anti-terrorist operations. We will provide our troops with the newest weapons and technology to save their lives - and win the
battle. And we will end the backdoor draft of National Guard and reservists.
To all who serve in our armed forces today, I say, help is on the way. "
