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.
At the same time, North Korea is testing missiles reportedly capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
As you know, the whole Defense request looks ludicrous to probably the majority of the House and the Senate.
