Mazie K. Hirono: “I think the pecuniary interest is really the most objective way that you can define a conflict.”

Today, my thoughts and aloha are with 1st Lt Feehan’s family, and the families of all the brave servicemembers killed and injured in this war.

We appreciate your prompt attention to these questions and expect a timely and complete response. Our service members and their families deserve nothing less than a full and honest accounting of the costs of this war.

As a nominee appearing before Congress, it is expected that you will answer questions to the best of your ability.

As we honor their service and sacrifice, I remain committed to doing everything in my power to bring an end to this war.
