Without Defense, There Is No Freedom

The NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) funds the Department of Defense. The United States Department of Defense is world-class (leading the world class, actually). This is because we know firsthand that without defense, there is no such thing as freedom. How can we be free when we’re being overthrown by some hostile power (ahem, Russia)?

We can’t. The American experiment ends with a hostile takeover, and because of this, every Congress for the last few decades has approved the NDAA. So what’s changed? The myopic and so-called Freedom Caucus has decided that we don’t need the NDAA as much as we need to make sure that there’s no freeloading on the government’s dime.

This is their priority. That, and blocking funding for the Ukraine war (remember that? still a thing). They have no clue about how the world operates and have no understanding that, say it with me: without defense, there is no freedom.

As a former Marine, it especially irks me because without this money, people in harms way may not get the support they need.

They should probably be called the “no freedom caucus".”
