Lloyd Austin actually said...

"Make no mistake, we will ensure that the Department of Defense has the resources it needs to protect our country."

"The healthy--the health, welfare, and safety of our force is of utmost important to me."

"Let me assure you, from my perspective our effort is not to make the Army be the bill payer for the Air Force or Navy."

"Yes, I would support a briefing by the Department to the congressional defense committees on the overall prioritization of forces in the annual GFMAP."
