Today Senator Lee questioned Secretary of Defense Ash Carter and General Joseph Dunford about why American troops are being threatened and insulted by our supposed friends in Syria, and whether the United States is inadvertently assisting Al-Qaeda in Yemen by supporting the Saudi war against their enemies.  The guiding principle for American national security should be protecting the freedoms and rights of American citizens.  Until our defense and foreign policy leaders understand and employ this principle, we will continue involving ourselves in endless conflicts while missing the real threats to our country.
