The case for robust defense spending
By: Rep. Rob Wittman  
President John Adams once wrote: “National defense is one of the cardinal duties of a Statesman.†These words are as true now as they were when they were written in 1815. However, unlike in 1815, the weight of these words seems lost on some in Congress.
As Congress moves forward with the National Defense Authorization Act and the passage of the defense appropriations bill, there are irresponsible calls for blanket cuts to defense spending that are either misguided or willfully ignorant of the role the U.S. military plays in maintaining global stability.
