I never will forget Donald Rumsfeld, the former Secretary of Defense, sitting where you are telling this committee that he will account for every dollar of the taxpayer.
I wrote to President Trump, had it delivered on July the 18th. I wanted him, if he was going raise the troop levels in Afghanistan, to please come to Congress, ask Congress to meet its constitutional responsibility and have a debate.
If this could be on national TV, you would probably be having rallies out there right now protesting, because there is no one held responsible.
What would be wrong with putting the responsibility in the Office of the Secretary of Defense... and saying to the Secretary of Defense: You have the responsibility for accountability.
