Richard Shelby: “I agree with a lot of people; we live in a troubled and an unsettled world whether we realize it or not.”

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

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 am deeply concerned, however, that the administration's failure to direct the appropriate resources to the crisis at the southern border has resulted in shifting the burden to the Guard.

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.
