I don't like to make generalizations, but the old SAC [Strategic Air Command] warriors that we all know and love are very different from the mindset of millennials coming into this role.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thanks, gentlemen. Good discussion today about the importance of investing in recapitalization of the triad.

I mean, we have seen over the last year some challenges there.

Rest assured, the cartels will not sit idly by while we increase manpower, technology, infrastructure, or adjust our strategy, and that will threaten their business model.

As we increase our focus this Congress on securing the border, which I welcome, we have to be clear-eyed about the dangerous and sophisticated threat that we face from these adversaries on the other side.

we need that capability, it is amazing. But we also need to be able to stay on station more than 20 to 30 minutes, have more than 180 bullets, have more than 2 bombs on station and be able to survive a direct hit.

I would really like to follow up with the Air Force on. It would save some resources and allow us to move forward in a complementary way.

I think we need both those capabilities in order to have full-spectrum operations.

I was at Heritage Flight at Davis-Monthan this weekend. Climbed up the ladder of the F-35, talked to the pilots and maintenance.

we have got to make sure that the legitimate economic activity that comes north and south continues to be able to flow while we are intercepting the illegitimate activity

Thanks, Chief. Additionally, we have talked a lot about the strategy of defense-in-depth in the rural areas, like my community.
