.@SECWAR “Yesterday’s ceremony reminded us why we fight—not for nation-building or democracy promotion—but to CRUSH DIRECT THREATS to America, Americans, and our interests.
We fight to win, and we are winning. On our terms.
“My 13-year-old son popped into my office last night while I was editing these remarks—he asked about the war and the families I met at Dover. I looked at him and said, ‘They died for you, son—so that your generation doesn’t have to deal with a nuclear Iran.’ It’s the truth. They did.
To the families who said ‘finish this’—we will. And I say the same to every American who wants peace through strength.”
