congressman chris ibsen is a republican. i want to read your note terry career. 24 years in the army. retired in 2010. deployed seven times in iraq, kosovo, and haiti. he is also a member of the armed forces did he is the highest-ranking enlisted soldier ever to serve in congress did he retired 24 years after enlisting. that because i want to process our discussion with your military career. you're trying to stop president obama from drawing down. let me start with you first. why? guest: it's nice to see you again. privileged to be on here with my colleague and friend. he is doing a fantastic job here in washington. i think we get faulty choices today. we get this choice between an aggressive, bomb every country type of approach or isolationism. i don't think those are consistent with defending the republic. i believe in easter strength. that requires a strong military. when you look at where we are on to have land forces smaller than before world war ii. we are talking about the 1930's. that will take on a significant risk
