Just off the top of my head:

• America compromised on national security issues when it allowed
  China for 30 years to cheat and extort on trade issues, and steal
  intellectual property.
  
  
• America compromised on national security issues when George Bush
  ended North Korean sanctions in 2007
  
  
• America compromised on national security issues when it signed the
  Iran nuclear treaty, after making one concession after another.
  
  
• America is compromising on national security issues right now with
  the faracical peace negotiations with the Taliban in
  Afghanistan.

I'm sure we can come up with a bunch more if we tried.
