Kerry has a strong record on defense. Read this article: "John Kerry's Defense Defense Setting his voting record straight." slate.msn.com Not voting for everything the DOD asks for shows that Kerry is a thinking person. It reminds me of President Eisenhower's comment in his farewell speech: "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex." Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961 Thank goodness someone is following Eisenhower's advice. Thank you John Kerry! Still, Kerry's defense voting record is fairly conservative: Supported using force in Panama (1989) Supported using force in Somalia (1992) Supported using force in Grenada (1993) Supported using force in Kosovo (1999) Supported deploying National Missile Defense ASAP. (Mar 1999) Supported military pay raise. (Feb 1999) Against reducing nuclear weapons below START levels. (May 1999) Supported authorizing air strikes in Kosovo. (Mar 1999) Supported an increase military by 40,000 troops. (Jan 2000) Support the use of force in Afghanistan. (2001)
