Richard Shelby: “I'm going to shift to another area, to Fort Rucker, Alabama.”

I am concerned about this--what this communicates to both our allies and our adversaries.

We have got to get our arms, one, around the inflation first, and then try to boost our defense capabilities in a dangerous world.

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

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