We need to think of new ways to bring talented individuals into our armed services.
It comes down to what my colleague just said about the implementation that seems to be under discussion and making sure that the actions of a few don't impact the practices of the many who are doing a good job.
And while nobody wants to, as has been said, you know, balance the budget on the backs of our service members or our veterans, there are going to be some hard decisions to make.
We can do more. Please, sir, consider updating regulations to meet this critical need, or we will need to find another way to address this unsustainable problem and situation.
