But we must be ░░░░░░░░ to act decisively on ░░░░░░░░ own when we need ░░░░░░░░ I completely reject anyone ░░░░░░░░ my opponent who calls ░░░░░░░░ American military and I ░░░░░░░░ a disaster That is ░░░░░░░░ insult to the men ░░░░░░░░ women serving today and ░░░░░░░░ who have served before ░░░░░░░░ put their lives on ░░░░░░░░ line It is just ░░░░░░░░ true We do have ░░░░░░░░ work to do to ░░░░░░░░ to have the strongest ░░░░░░░░ effective military in the ░░░░░░░░ I know this is ░░░░░░░░ that matters a great ░░░░░░░░ to everyone in this ░░░░░░░░ And here is what ░░░░░░░░ have to do We ░░░░░░░░ lose our military edge ░░░░░░░░ means giving the Pentagon ░░░░░░░░ stable predictable funding it ░░░░░░░░ to make smart investments ░░░░░░░░ have heard applause Mrs ░░░░░░░░ You have heard of ░░░░░░░░ sequester the arbitrary caps ░░░░░░░░ has imposed on our ░░░░░░░░ government for the past ░░░░░░░░ years Look I am ░░░░░░░░ for cutting the fat ░░░░░░░░ of the budget and ░░░░░░░░ sure we stretch our ░░░░░░░░ I am proud of ░░░░░░░░ fact that when my ░░░░░░░░ left office we had ░░░░░░░░ balanced budget and a ░░░░░░░░ and I hope that ░░░░░░░░ we can get back ░░░░░░░░ doing that But we ░░░░░░░░ impose arbitrary limits on ░░░░░░░░ as important as our ░░░░░░░░ That makes no sense ░░░░░░░░ all Sequester makes our ░░░░░░░░ less secure Let s ░░░░░░░░ it and get a ░░░░░░░░ deal that supports America ░░░░░░░░ military our families and ░░░░░░░░ country And let s ░░░░░░░░ reform a priority so ░░░░░░░░ the defense department spends ░░░░░░░░ budget on the right ░░░░░░░░ And by the way ░░░░░░░░ last thing we need ░░░░░░░░ a president who brings ░░░░░░░░ name calling and temper ░░░░░░░░ to Washington Getting both ░░░░░░░░ actually to work together ░░░░░░░░ s modernize our army ░░░░░░░░ Navy air force coast ░░░░░░░░ We need to respond ░░░░░░░░ evolving threats from states ░░░░░░░░ Russia China Iran and ░░░░░░░░ Korea From networks criminal ░░░░░░░░ terrorist networks like ISIS ░░░░░░░░ need a military that ░░░░░░░░ ready and agile to ░░░░░░░░ the full range of ░░░░░░░░ and operate on short ░░░░░░░░ across every domain not ░░░░░░░░ land sea air and ░░░░░░░░ but also cyberspace area ░░░░░░░░ will invest in new ░░░░░░░░ new breakthroughs that will ░░░░░░░░ our military Just as ░░░░░░░░ precision weapons and advanced ░░░░░░░░ like they did in ░░░░░░░░ past We will make ░░░░░░░░ renewed push to reduce ░░░░░░░░ weapons because that does ░░░░░░░░ us all safer and ░░░░░░░░ will step up efforts ░░░░░░░░ secure nuclear material around ░░░░░░░░ world and stop terrorists ░░░░░░░░ acquiring or using weapons ░░░░░░░░ mass destruction One of ░░░░░░░░ first things I will ░░░░░░░░ as president is to ░░░░░░░░ for a new nuclear ░░░░░░░░ with you — review.
