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.
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel is on record stating that he was not aware of any United States soldier who lost their life in search for Sergeant Bergdahl.
