A complex and evolving security environment requires a serious commitment to our national defense.
We also need a strong Army to deter China and respond to provocations, Iran, North Korea, and radical extremist groups.
I'm concerned, and I think I'm joined by a lot of others in the Senate and the House, about the impact inflation is having on the Army and the Navy and everything else.
I think it is a given by this Committee on Appropriations, Defense to--not to shortchange the Navy, not to shortchange readiness, and also future weapons. And, if we do it, we do it at the peril of this Country; would we not?
