We should let the military act as they deem appropriate in terms of Sergeant Bergdahl's actions in the Middle East, but the fact of the matter is it is Secretary Hagel who came before this committee as a wounded warrior from the war in Vietnam, an impeccable military history--in my opinion, one of the most outstanding individuals I have had the privilege to meet in Washington, D.C.--testified honestly and sincerely. He took his hits before the committee. Let's move on. Let's accept his explanation. Disagree with it if we honestly feel that he acted improperly, but the fact of the matter is he acted pursuant to the Constitution. It is time for this Congress to focus on real issues that have a real effect on the American people. Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn), my friend and colleague, and a member of the Committee on Armed Services.
