Steve Daines said "U.S. Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Sullivan, I thank you, and I appreciate those comments. When Senator Sullivan talks about our colleagues saying no, what they are saying no to is over 1.2 million Active-Duty military and over 800,000 Reserve military. They are saying no to almost 10,000 troops engaged in combat in Afghanistan and the additional military in harm's way in places like Iraq, Syria, and other places around the globe. We have been hearing from freshmen Senators from the Republican Party here today in this colloquy. We have another freshman from Oklahoma. I am very honored and grateful to serve with Senator Lankford from Oklahoma, the home of Tinker Air Force Base. Senator Lankford, I thank you for sharing your thoughts today.
