Graham Blasts Rand Paul: ‘You Have Been Wrong at Every Turn’ on Nat’l Security

‘We are spending at an all-time low on our military since World War II’

EXCERPT:

GRAHAM: "We are spending at an all-time low on our military since World War II, more people have been killed in training accidents than in combat, and Donald Trump is delivering on his campaign process to rebuild the military. General Mattis likes this budget deal. And to Senator Paul, the deficit is a problem, the debt is a problem. Entitlement reform is necessary and I applaud you for being courageous enough to talk about delaying retirement and means-testing benefits, but on national security you have been wrong at every turn. You do not understand what our military has been facing since 2011. There are planes that can't fly, there are soldiers that can’t deploy, there are families that have to miss their family members way too much because we don’t have enough people in the Army and Navy and Air Force and the Marine Corps, and we're about to finish this. So he can play his little games, but when the sun comes up tomorrow, the military is going to be flush with cash and God bless those who are doing the fighting."
