Richard Shelby: “We are all concerned about jobs in the United States.”

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

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.

Deterrence requires spending our limited resources on both offensive and defensive weapons.

Regrettably, this was all predictable and avoidable.
