John McCain actually said...

"Restoring readiness must be the Army's first priority."

"It is the duty of this committee and this Congress to do their utmost to provide them with the support they need and deserve."

"The burden imposed on our soldiers only grows as threats to our Nation increase and sequestration remains the law of the land."

"The enemy remains highly adaptable and capable, and instability and under-governed territory may give them opportunities to resurge."
