JOHN M. McHUGH: “When we have called on you for help, you have always been there.”

Not a bailout, not a subsidy, not a loan. Our own money.

I think you would agree it is breathtaking, first of all, that we have this problem but that we have it at places such as West Point, Air Force Academy and, of course, at Annapolis, it makes it even more disturbing.

As to the distribution of Milcon, certainly if I were in a Guard or Reserve unit, I'd feel as though I wasn't getting what I needed, and we have to admit that.

Of the many things that trouble us all, Mr. Chairman, the areas you just spoke about, and particularly suicide, are amongst the most troubling.
