Recently a group of Next Generation Veterans for Obama released a video explaining why they believe Barack Obama should be our next Commander-in-Chief.
"We deserve a strategy that honors our sacrifice," says Iraq veteran Tammy Duckworth, who adds that America needs a president who will “serve our veterans as well as they have served us.”
The veterans – who all served in Iraq or Afghanistan – argue that Obama has the right strategy for Afghanistan and Iraq, and the best strategy for confronting the threats and challenges of the 21st Century.
“Success is Iraqi security, not a 100 year American occupation,” and a strategy to “to finish the fight against Al Qaeda, and find Osama Bin Laden,” said Chris McGurk, a former infantry sergeant who fought in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Maura Sullivan, an Iraq war veteran and former Marine Corps officer, says that “Success is a plan for the future.” Only Barack Obama has a comprehensive national security strategy which integrates all elements of national power to confront the threats and challenges of the 21st Century.
