You all know my number one priority is our troops, especially our junior enlisted, E-1 through E-6. They are the most precious, they are the most potent, and they are the most powerful weapon system that we have.
It warms my cockles to hear an Army four star say that he asked for six F-35s and additional F-15EXs.
An E-1 right now even with the 5 percent raise last year and the 4.5 percent increase in this President's budget request is still $22,000, $23,000 a year.
I personally have no doubt that we would win a war against China. I think it would be protracted, very bloody, extended, probably not popular after time.
