Richard Shelby: “I promise you, it would be amazing.”

I remain concerned that the Air Force budget request is insufficient considering the needed modernization across the inventory with a rapidly evolving threat.

As Senator Shelby at our Senate testimony hearing last March pointed out to us, we must maintain what we have before we can build new, and I think he hits the mark head-on.

A complex and evolving security environment requires a serious commitment to our national defense.

A lot of people, including this Senator, believe that the request is not enough considering the problems in the world.
