Strengthen
the bond of trust between the American people
|
|
|
|
and
those who wear our nation’s uniform. We’ll give them
|

the
tools they need and the respect they deserve.
|
|
|
• |
We
will work to defend our people and our allies against
|
|
|
|
growing
threats: the threats of missiles; information
|
|
|
warfare;
the threats of biological, chemical and nuclear
|
|
|
|
weapons.
We will confront the new threats of a new
|
|
|
|
century.
|
|
|
• |
We
will begin creating the military of the future, one that
|
|
|
|
takes
full advantage of revolutionary new technologies. We
|
|
|
will
promote the peace by redefining the way wars will be
|
|
|
|
fought.
