Last week Leon Panetta made mention the fact again that there needs to be troops there unfortunately we're about to see -- the most draconian budget cuts.
To the military that's ever experience everybody is talking about what was gonna happen if we fell off the fiscal cliff.
Well the fiscal -- for the military's already happening.
The size the military's gonna get smaller the number of troops that are deployed overseas will be be reduced but that also means because the ultimate force is smaller.
The number of rotations that people are gonna have to make overseas is going to increase.
The hardship on the family's goes up.
The idea that you're gonna have to pay for health care in the military.
Because you got shot is lunacy.
And of course the sacrifices the families are making are gonna go away I look at all of this Tom and I say to myself.
We need to have a very professional military there needs to be incentives for people to stay in our armed forces.
Because that -- most educated competent best trained military force the world's ever seen.
And the best way to detour war.
Is to appear to your enemy to be powerful that's not what this administration's -- and the unilateral withdrawal the decision to.
Quote victory -- quote is simply getting out.
Is not the right approach to encourage if you will people who want to stay because they really do fight to win.
Hillary out is not a win.

And of course what I've been able to do for Fox News over the course the last of them eleven years -- there's a lot of those stories that I saw on an eyewitness to that we couldn't put on air without jeopardizing the safety of those and conduct those operations.
And so this is their story this -- lets them be seen as the heroes they really are to the American people here's the really good news.
