Promises about Military on GOP Pledge-O-Meter
Pass 'clean' military spending bills
Troop funding bills "will not be held up by unrelated policy changes, or extraneous domestic spending and pork-barrel projects."
Keep "combatants" in Guantanamo Bay
Will keep terrorist combatants in Guantanamo Bay, not in local jails or courtrooms.
Demand an overarching detention policy
Will "work to ensure foreign terrorists, such as the 9/11 conspirators, are tried in military, not civilian, court."
Oppose extending "Miranda Rights" to foreign terrorists
Will "oppose all efforts to force our military, intelligence and law enforcement personnel operating overseas to extend 'Miranda Rights' to foreign terrorists."
Fully fund missile defense
Will "work to ensure critical funding is restored to protect the U.S. homeland and our allies from missile threats from rogue states such as Iran and North Korea."
Fund weapons research
"We will once again fund weapons’ research and development not just to meet the threats of today, but those of tomorrow."
