Biden: ‘Our Country Is Safer and Stronger When We Lead … with the Power of Our Example’

‘Our country is safer and stronger when we lead, not just with the example of our power, but with the power of our example’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: "I want to share the message directly with the Department of Defense staff all around the world, because each of you — each of you, whether you're newly enlisted, a career officer, a non-commissioned officer, or a civilian policy expert, you're essential to how we project our strength around the world, defend America's interests and advance American leadership in the world. So often, our armed forces and the Department of Defense staff are how the rest of the world encounters America. And you all know, as well as anyone, that our country is safer and stronger when we lead not just with the example of our power, but with the power of our example. As your commander-in-chief, I will never hesitate to use force to defend the vital interests of the American people and our allies around the world when necessary.”
