The Libertarian Party knows that national defense is a priority for many Americans, and that freedom sometimes comes with the cost of defending that freedom. However, our runaway military industrial complex and the politicians they fund have seen to it that the goal of defending freedom at home has been replaced with waging continual wars of aggression across the entire globe.
These wars, operations, bases and assaults have made zero Americans safer, while vastly increasing the number of individuals and nations we can consider enemies. This all comes at a cost of over $1 Trillion per year, to a nation deeply in debt.
We are committed to protecting Americans, and returning to a defense-first military. The Libertarian Party will end the War State, end the empire building, and make every American safer, and wealthier as a result.
