A General’s View of Obama and Romney

Friends and Foes of Liberty, November 1, 2012

Why should U.S. citizens give President Barack Obama another four years as President? GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney claims that Obama has performed poorly on the economy, is gutting the U.S. military and has weakened U.S. leadership around the world.

Tune in to find out why retired Major General Paul D. Eaton disagrees. Gen. Eaton spoke to Friends and Foes of Liberty about why he approves of President Obama’s foreign policy record and supports the President in the upcoming election. Gen. Eaton talked about the economy, looming defense budget cuts, the war in Afghanistan, containment of the Iranian nuclear crisis, the politicization of the officer corps and other topics.

Hosted by Ying Ma, Friends and Foes of Liberty is an Internet radio show that features in-depth discussions about freedom, geopolitics, the global marketplace and U.S. foreign policy.

Gen. Paul D. Eaton is a senior adviser of the National Security Network and had served more than 30 years in the United States Army, including in combat and post-combat assignments in Iraq, Bosnia and Somalia. As a major general he was assigned to Iraq from 2003 to 2004 as Commanding General of the Coalition Military Assistance Training Team (CMATT), where he designed, manned, trained and equipped the Iraqi armed forces for the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and the security forces for the Interior Ministry. Prior to that assignment, he commanded the Army’s Infantry Center and was Chief of Infantry for the Army.
