The only difference is the legal judgment, that weighing of evidence and facts, will now be done by a trained objective military prosecutor.

But I would argue that the commander is still responsible for that because keeping in a number of the articles like Article 134, other articles that are general crimes, you are still fundamentally responsible for command climate, good…

I would like to work with you both on this issue.

We need to maintain the pressure that we are maintaining on the regime and make it very clear to them what our objectives are, number one, that they not develop a nuclear weapon.

I have heard both cautious optimism and grave concern about the election of Rohani as the new President.

Iran is not just a challenge to the United States in its nuclear aspirations but also through its surrogates, its proxies, its arm sales.

I have grave concerns over the broader regional security in the Middle East, particularly when we are seeing the continued influx of jihadi and Hezbollah fighters into Syria.

Will you consider how you could possibly recruit National Guard and Reserve cyber experts or a cyber corps which could leverage some of the training and hiring from the private sector?

I think that is going to be a very difficult workforce to retain once we have recruited and trained it and it would be a priority of mine, if confirmed.

I do not see how you will meet your mission requirements with these kinds of cuts.

I am concerned that we do not have the capability to recruit all of the best and brightest within the cyber world to do the work that we need for cyber defense.

I hope that you will also focus your attention on that transition, that very important time between transitioning from Active Duty to veteran status.

Clearly we have not broken the code on suicide and suicide prevention. Period. We have not.

I am very concerned about the status and the well-being of the men and women who serve in our forces.

We'd like to work with you to find a way to permanently fund Tricare's coverage of autism services.

I believe the work currently under way between the Department and the Council of Governors to develop a mutually agreed upon consultative process will ensure that the concerns of States are taken into consideration in future National Guard…

As it downsizes, the Army must maintain the proper balance amongst all of its capabilities.

The Department will seek to balance posture reductions in a way that aligns with our national strategic interests.

The additional BCT reductions must be made consistent with our global strategy and treaty obligations.

In the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2013, I worked to ensure the second WMD civil support teams for both New York and Florida were authorized, and that funds have been appropriated.

The Strategy underscores the U.S. Government's commitment to preventing and responding to gender-based violence.

I wholeheartedly support this overdue change in policy as women already have been fighting and dying on the frontline.

Israel's security is very important, and I have been one of the strongest advocates for our alliance.

I do not see Iran or the Iranian Government as a legitimate government.

A nuclear Iran is an existential threat to the United States, as well as Israel.
