Which of the following is NOT a NSS security priority?

• A. Protect the security of the American people
• B. Interest in expanding economic prosperity & opportunity
• C. Realizing & defending the democratic values at the heart of the American way of life
• D. Ensuring universal healthcare for all service members

Answer: (D)

National Security Strategy priorities focus on three main aims: protecting the security of the American people, promoting economic prosperity and opportunity, and realizing and defending the democratic values at the heart of the American way of life. The statement about universal healthcare for all service members isn’t a national security objective; it’s a personnel benefit policy. While important, it doesn’t directly map to national security goals like safeguarding citizens, fostering broad economic strength, or defending democratic ideals. The other three choices align with NSS priorities, making the healthcare option the one that is not a NSS security priority.
