The first job of the President of the United States is to protect the safety and security of the American people. This President has weakened our national defense and he's made America weaker and more vulnerable, but I do believe we need to be the world's leader. That's why we went to Portsmouth and we spoke really specifically about wanting to have a 350 ship Navy, 2600 aircraft Air Force, a 500,000 soldier army, and at least a hundred eighty-five thousand active-duty Marines. Strength prevents war, it doesn't create it.
