I'm also concerned that inflation will reduce the Army's buying power.

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.

I'm concerned that replenishment of weapons stocks--particularly Javelins and Stinger missiles--is happening too slowly.

Regrettably, this was all predictable and avoidable.
