Republican presidential candidate Gary Bauer says the war in Kosovo has highlighted the need to beef-up the U.S. Military. Bauer says if elected, he’d commit at least 50-billion MORE dollars over the next six years to re-build American defenses. Bauer says it’s wrong that 17-thousand service members are paid so little they qualify for food stamps. Bauer says the military establishment is part of the problem. Bauer says American has gone through cycles in this century where military preparedness has fallen by the wayside. Bauer made his comments Saturday at the Iowa Veterans Memorial on the statehouse grounds.
