Dear John,
In The American Conservative, my colleague John Byrnes writes about a U.S.
foreign policy
<[link removed]>
rooted in the philosophy ofrealism and restraint – one that he and I believe
best aligns with conservatism.
John is a veteran of three conflicts—Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He spent
two weeks after September 11, 2001, at Ground Zero with the National Guard, and
saw bloodshed, death, and destruction firsthand.
As it did to me, war changed John and his views around America’s foreign
policy.
He explains how the preservation of liberty at home precludes imperial
adventures abroad:
“To restrainers, military intervention should be a last resort, not a handy
tool. Restrainers pursue trade and diplomacy, and we believe in maintaining a
powerful U.S. military capable of defeating rivals and securing the global
commons. These are beliefs most often espoused by libertarians and national
conservatives.”
With these beliefs in mind, I signed the 2023 Freedom Conservative letter
<[link removed]>. Its
“strong central government, dedicated to securing liberty,” truly describes my
conservatism, the sweet space between libertarianism and hard conservatism I
sought.”
