This is it.
military personnel deserve the best medical care our country has to offer. We must always remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice; their families must be assured meaningful financial assistance. It is the solemn duty we owe and honor we give to those who bravely don the uniform of freedom. We support our government in continuing to seek and act upon all information concerning our military personnel and other citizens carried as Missing in Action or Prisoners of War.
Returning Veterans We support the accommodation and reintegration of our troops once their military commitment has expired. Returning veterans must have access to educational benefits, job training and a wide variety of employment options. The Veterans Administration must become more responsive and more efficient by eliminating its backlog and reducing waiting times for treatment. We support the privatization of veterans healthcare.
Traditional Military Culture To protect our serviceman and women and ensure that America's Armed Forces remain the best in the world, we affirm the timelessness of those values, the benefits of traditional military culture and the incompatibility of homosexuality with military service.
