Thad Cochran actually said...

This hearing should help us understand the threats to our safety and security and the defenses we need to defend against those threats.

I was thinking back on my personal experience of getting ready to decide where to go to college, and how we were going to pay for it.

Isn't this an area that might be threatened and may have an effect on moral and discipline, particularly in the seagoing Navy?

I am pleased to join you in welcoming our witnesses to this hearing on Voluntary Military Education programs in the Department of Defense.
