It is the biggest responsibility any leader has, to leave the place better than they found it, and I do not think we are doing it right now.
Our nuclear deterrent plays a critical role in assuring U.S. national security and it is DOD'S highest priority mission. No other capability we have is more important.
We had better pay attention to what our scientists, our intelligence people, our military leaders are saying how serious this is and the impact it is going to have.
