I thought that the capacity and the size of the force and the capability and the modernization of the weapons systems did not meet that.

If what happened to the F-35 happens to the B-21, I am going to find you.

We have got to be educated. Our public has to understand that this is a whole new level of--way of manipulating.

Success is not winning. Success is learning.

I urge you to set your general counsel loose on that issue.

As I talk to people in Maine, they are surprised to learn that Seoul is about 30 miles from the North Korean border.

It is a shortage of a shortage.

I would suggest that wargaming and stress-testing would be very important, particularly where you do not have direct control over these assets.

Part of the settlement in that case was we had a military force and the threat of military force.

If I were China, I would not want a nuclear-armed guy right on my border who could threaten me.

I think Kim Jong un has elevated that to a cycle of provocation, provocation, provocation.

I believe that my part of this problem set is to provide that credible combat power in the face of North Korean provocation.

I am gravely concerned because, as you have testified, your capacity is very dependent upon commercial partners. You said that every CEO says they are safe, and I do not believe it.

We do not ask the private sector to defend themselves against Russian bombs or missile attacks from North Korea.

We have a seamless cooperation and agreement, arrangement, and working relationship with the Canadians in terms of NORAD?

A cut in the Coast Guard budget, which would further constrain the provision of those assets, would not be in the national interest.

The nuclear posture review that is going on--I am looking forward to the results of that.

It is an attack on our country.
