Statement of Fred Thompson – November 20, 2007

“Fred Thompson believes that the purpose of our nation’s Armed Forces is to defend the country, protect the American people, and advance our interests abroad.  Serving our great nation in uniform is a privilege, and the men and women who do so are the military’s most important resource.  Their training, support and morale are vital to the readiness and capabilities of our Armed Forces.  As such, Fred Thompson supports current law regarding gays in the military and current Defense Department policies.  He sees no reason to alter this approach, especially during times of conflict and global instability.  The nation’s security is the first responsibility of the federal government, and a strong, cohesive, and capable military is vital to that end.”
