I completely agree with you. I hope we are all on the same page on that.

We need to get rid of sequestration because it has done so much damage to our readiness and other aspects of the military.

I cannot understand why we do not allow generic drugs to be sold in our commissaries.

I think, as a general proposition, that it behooves all of us to care about the graduation rates throughout our country.

Madam Chairwoman, I would like to request that all of our Services send to our subcommittee the latest of standard surveys and any modifications that are made to the surveys.

The post-9/11 GI Bill has been an outstanding program.

The men and women who do serve need to be treated fairly.

I hope that there is a way that we can better track the experiences of our veterans.

Would there be some differentiation that would occur in these price increases?

a huge percentage of them are not able to join. Maybe 75 percent--that's a number that I came across in some other setting--are not qualified, a lot of them due to the fact that they may not have high school degrees.

Right now, the difference between the prices at commissaries and what the prices would be outside, although we have a lot of competition for lower prices through Costco and other places, is about 30 percent right now, isn't it?
