John McCain actually said...

"The Merchant Marine force that does this work is a viable and proud patriotic unit."

"General McDew, in what ways will DOD and TRANSCOM equip the MSC fleet with technology that ensures secure communication in contested environments?"

"I believe the Senate in a bipartisan fashion should repeal the BCA [Budget Control Act] and establish a more reasonable limit on discretionary spending."

"General McDew, as it can take 8200 C-17 sorties to deploy a single brigade combat team, how will TRANSCOM adapt to ensure that global force projection remains a primary capability of the armed forces?"
