No one disagrees up here, the Chairman's commitment to fixing Blue Water Navy is second to nobody in this country.

My disagreement is we should not be asking one group of wounded warriors to pay for another.

I want to be absolutely clear. What distinguishes this Committee I think from any other, and it has been noted, is our ability to focus together on the issues that matter.

If you go to war there is a cost that does not end with the last bullet.

I would ask you, Mr. Secretary, we are prepared to ask the Department of Justice to look into that if you think that is appropriate.

Choice is good, I have always supported it.

A budget reflects the President's priorities.

I am sure they are busy, we have worked on this a lot in Clay Hunt Bill.

It appears that that money is not going to be used for infrastructure and it is going to community care.

I submit the enclosed questions for the record.

the devil I know is better than the devil I don't know type of thing.
