US President Barack Obama asserted that his administration would send its troops on foreign soil only when it is absolutely necessary.
"I will only send you into harm's way when it is absolutely necessary," Obama pledged while addressing foreign war veterans in Phoenix, Arizona.
"When I do, it will be based on good intelligence and guided by a sound strategy. I will give you a clear mission, defined goals, and the equipment and support you need to get the job done. That's my commitment to you," Obama asserted, amidst applause.
The US President said his administration would ensure that the American forces remained the best fighting troops in the world.
"We need to keep our military the best-trained, the best-led, the best-equipped fighting force in the world. And that's why, even with our current economic challenges, my budget increases defence spending," he said.
