It reminds me of a committee hearing yesterday, and we heard some discussion from one of the witnesses about courage. It was used in the context, you have to have the courage to go forward. Sometimes it takes courage to go forward. I know that Mr. Arcuri and I together looked at each other, and thought sometimes it takes the courage that you spoke of, Mr. Hodes, to admit when things aren't going right and changing direction. That is the kind of direction that we need in this country from our President, that we need for our troops from our President.
