I have said many times that I just do not see how this country can continue to do what is necessary to maintain a strong military, unless there is some debate in the Congress about a war tax, because I don't know where the money is going…
I believe we have been very clear, sir, that the President's request, the PB16 [President's budget 2016] request, we believe, is the absolute minimum needed to provide the national security necessary for the United States.
If that is the American military, then I am sure George Washington would be very disappointed...
But for goodness sakes, why in the world should we make such a commitment and we don't have an end point to it?
