Senator (And Marine Lt. Col.) Dan Sullivan: 'When the US steps back, terrorists groups fill the vacuum'

Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan is a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, so when he talks about the Global War On Terror, he speaks from experience.

And he sees that American weakness leads to more enemy strength: “When the United States steps back from it’s traditional global leadership position, it’s not like countries who share our interests fill the vacuum. To the contrary, it’s countries who don’t share our interests and terrorist groups who fill the vacuum.”
