Washington,
D.C.
-
Today,
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
following
statement
after
President
Trump
signed
the
National
Defense
Authorization
Act
(NDAA)
for
FY18:
“The
final
NDAA
looks
out
for
our
service
members
and
allocates
critical
resources
that
will
continue
to
strengthen
our
national
security
posture.
Most
notably,
it
provides
our
military
personnel
with
a
significant
pay
increase.
It
is
great
news
when
we
can
compensate
our
men
and
women
in
uniform
for
everything
they
do.
I
was
also
glad
to
see
special
emphasis
on
building
up
our
missile
defense
programs,
a
crucial
step
to
countering
future
global
threats.
And
as
someone
who
believes
GITMO
should
remain
operational
in
order
to
keep
enemy
combatants
from
returning
to
the
battlefield,
I
was
reassured
to
see
the
NDAA
continues
to
keep
these
individuals
from
being
transferred
or
released.
All
in
all,
today
marks
a
good
day
for
our
military
and
a
good
day
for
our
country.”
