Some deployments are longer than others, and I have more respect and gratitude for those sailors than anybody.

Shame on you and others who call this a quagmire and a failure, and then you want to turn around and say you support the warfighter. Either you do or you don't.

Training right now and training in the future that would have to be curtailed if we do not get our budget needs met, and met urgently.

Training, lethality, accountability, discipline, readiness — the bedrock of what it means to be an American warrior — is the only focus of our department.
