JOHN M. McHUGH: “Sequestration is not in the best interest of our national security.”

We need to stop talking and start acting. We need wisdom, not words. We need results, not rhetoric.

The time for action is now.

With defense budgets shrinking, it's important to evaluate if our current Active Component and Reserve Component force mix is appropriate for future engagements.

No Federal obligation is more important than protecting national security.
