So I think, you know, comparing the capabilities side by side, we all need to be careful through that analysis.

But I realize the funding challenges that you have as you go through this decision process, but it doesn't bring the same capability that the F-15C does with the expertise in air-to-air.

It is about warfighting capability and having the best team. That comes with trust and respect and honor.

we have got to inculcate in our troops the desire to have integrity and excellence in character and respect and honor 24/7

if we are inculcating resentment towards our female troops from the beginning, then that actually sows the seeds for people then having the types of behavior that could come out in a variety of different ways

we don't have knee jerk reactions in addressing the culture, with new policies and training and PowerPoint briefings

Some of the discussions we have already had with General Neller... is culture, right?

I echo concerns and frustrations about sequestration and the impact that it has had on you.

I would like to open by asking for your continued support for the A-10 Warthog.

They are going to--no insult to my colleagues from these States--but challenging geographic locations.

We have addressed some of these shortfalls very much in, I think, a punitive way.
