I thank the gentleman for his service, and I really respect him for what he put on the line for our country. We will always do that. But I will also say that those individuals who we did bring before the committee, though they might be professors now, they either served in the DOD or the White House, plus we had a classified briefing in the auditorium with representatives from the Joint Chiefs.
