Christian Democrats in the United States

We propose a defensive shift away from brute force military strategies, to diplomatic efforts with deals for resources and training by American expertise in civil policing. No human being can live under martial law for long, before such a system would self-destruct. We should not allow free trade to mean weapons sales or construction of military-industrial factories in hostile countries. We also advocate more publicity and openness in the intelligence community. At some point, if U.S. intelligence services do not fulfill core principles of empowering Americans and their spirits with truth, then the country will sink so far into the web of lies, it will fall.

Strategically, putting men and women on the ground with effective body armor, armored vehicles, non-lethal weapons and knowledge is a much more important goal than spending trillions on high-tech mass-murder systems that are never used. If we believe in the values of our American servicemen and women, we should enable them to do the job on the front lines.

We advocate bans on all non-precision explosives such as cluster bombs, and attest that no aerial bombs of any kind can be used in an honorable manner in urban combat. Defensive systems against mass-murder systems ought to be used as diplomatic chips to reduce all stocks world-wide of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons with the goal of eliminating all weapons of mass destruction.
