When will you show leadership and stand up to your fellow Democrats who won’t fund the troop, who play partisan politics while you don’t give us the money? You want to stand up here and talk about the troops?

The conflict has now cost an estimated $37.5 billion, up from $29 billion in mid-May.

Without these funds, we face critical shortfalls that threaten our ability to also simply pay our service members, rapidly replenish equipment and munitions, and sustain vital operations without disruption.

The best way to create peace is to prepare for war, to deter it.
