American Soldiers and Marines must have the ability to

1) destroy the enemy
2) protect themselves

These requirements are interpreted by battlefield commanders who adopt specific rules according to the area of operations. For example: a crowded city is not a free-fire zone, while a situation like the second battle of Fallujah where the civilian population is evacuated is much different. Urban fighting is extremely difficult, because the enemy is often revealed only as they expose weapons immediately prior to their attack. Most battlefield commanders take this into consideration when laying out rules of engagement in specific situations. My recommendation is always to enact ROE’s that favor the survival of U.S. Troops.

Supporter in WA State. Just going over the thread now to read your answers. One worrisome problem - wish ALL candidates had the same time to answer questions. I have never seen such a disgraceful manipulation of these so called “debates.” The left has made a sham of them.

Thank you for saying this, and more, for KNOWING it.

1. Destroy the enemy
2. Protect themselves.

Amen, Sir!

Its a good thing they are not waiting for the Senate to help them do either of the above! /s

If you see some merit in the 'fair tax', would you please consider the better, more traditional consumption tax that helped build our nation's manufacturing base:

The adjustable National Tariff.

It fairly raises revenue, is relatively optional, and combats predatory trade by China et al.

Congressman Hunter

It is a honor to meet you sir, and a pleasure to speak to the next POTUS2B.

While I can predict your answer from having read your positions on sovereignty, I ask that you would publicly state your position regarding the North American Union (NAU) and any other machinations being offered by Globalists.

Thank you for your time,

-Bruce

I recommend that we remember Hamburg, and Dresden, when it comes to these insurgent infested cities, problem solved, troops saved. Harry Truman had no regrets either.
