Rep. Pat Fallon, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 4th district, has been vocal about national defense and military innovation through a series of tweets posted on February 12, 2025. Fallon emphasizes the importance of investing in defense to counter global adversaries and supports a strategic agenda for maintaining military strength.

In his first tweet on February 12, Rep. Pat Fallon stated, "With global tensions having risen the past four years, serious investments in our national defense are critical to standing up to adversaries like China, Russia and Iran." He stressed the need for innovation to equip American warfighters with necessary tools.

Later that day, at 16:45 UTC, he expressed support for President Trump's defense strategy by tweeting: "My @HASCRepublicans colleagues and I support President Trump's peace through strength agenda." This includes enhancing defense investments and improving technology procurement while eliminating waste.

In a subsequent tweet at 19:01 UTC on the same day, Rep. Fallon highlighted concerns about delays in deploying new military technologies. He tweeted: "The U.S. is the world’s leader in military innovation, but we have grown complacent in getting new technology to our troops, fast." He called for reforms to expedite innovation and prioritize lethality.
