We have neglected military funding for both offensive and defensive weapons systems over the eight Obama years, and we may pay a terrible price for not following President Reagan’s vision. In the years since Reagan was president, the world has gotten more dangerous. Terrorist attacks have increased and now take place all over the world, injuring or killing hundreds, if not thousands of people. Ballistic nuclear missiles could kill entire populations unless stopped.
I can’t speak for President Reagan, but I believe he was thinking about our national security when discussing the “Star Wars” defense system. President Reagan was most serious about one of his most important jobs as president, keeping the American people safe. The evolution of missiles as the means of attack continues to grow, and recent events in North Korea should force us to rethink our defense against missile attacks.
