TONIGHT I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR
THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO WILL KEEP
THE PEACE, MEMBERS OF THE
AMERICAN ARMED FORCES, MANY OF
YOU ARE ASSEMBLING IN OR NEAR
THE MIDDLE EAST, AND SOME
CRUCIAL HOURS MAY LAY AHEAD.
IN THOSE HOURS, THE SUCCESS OF
OUR CAUSE WILL DEPEND ON YOU.
YOUR TRAINING HAS PREPARED YOU.
YOUR HONOR WILL GUIDE YOU.
YOU BELIEVE IN AMERICA, AND
AMERICA BELIEVES IN YOU.

Compare that to Clinton's "I loathe the military"

SENDING AMERICANS INTO BATTLE
IS THE MOST PRODUCE FOUND
DECISION A PRESIDENT CAN MAKE.
THE TECHNOLOGIES OF WAR HAVE
CHANGED, THE RISKS AND
SUFFERING OF WAR HAVE NOT.
FOR THE BRAVE AMERICANS WHO
BEAR THE RISK, NO VICTORY IS
FREE FROM SORROW.
THIS NATION FIGHTS RELUCTANTLY
BECAUSE WE KNOW THE COST AND WE
DREAD THE DAYS OF MOURNING THAT
ALWAYS COME.
WE SEEK PEACE.
WE STRIVE FOR PEACE.
AND SOMETIMES PEACE MUST BE
DEFENDED.
A FUTURE LIVED AT THE MERCY OF
TERRIBLE THREATS IS NOT PEACE
AT ALL.
IF WAR FORCED UPON US, WE WILL
FIGHT IN A JUST CAUSE AND BY
JUST MEANS.
SPARING IN EVERY WAY WE CAN THE
INNOCENT.
AND IF WAR IS FORCED UPON US,
WE WILL FIGHT WITH THE FULL
FORCE AND MIGHT OF THE UNITED
STATES MILITARY, AND WE WILL
PREVAIL.
AS WE AND OUR COALITION
PARTNERS ARE DOING IN
AFGHANISTAN, WE WILL BRING TO
THE IRAQI PEOPLE FOOD AND
MEDICINES AND SUPPLIES AND
FREEDOM.
