I thank the gentleman from Texas for the time and for bringing up what we know is wrong, what we clearly know is wrong. Our finest and the absolute healthiest population, by the way, in the United States of America is in the military. We are down to less than half a percent of Americans who even serve in uniform. And recruiters, even before the pandemic, were telling us they were concerned about what they were looking forward to because the population really just couldn't meet the recruiting goals because people were either criminals, overweight, or what have you. So we already have a problem, and then you get this vaccine mandate. It is experimental, and they force the best of the best to leave the service. Meanwhile, we can't defend ourselves. China is on the rise, Madam Speaker, you have got Russia threatening nuclear war, and the President declares the pandemic over while we are kicking our finest people, people who said: Put me on the front line, I will sign the blank check and give everything, including my life, in defense of our country. And we say, no, thank you. Unless you get this jab and bend the knee--and bend the knee--your service here is not wanted.

Continue to invest. Continue to invest. It is going to continue unless this amendment passes. We are going to keep throwing good money after bad. We are going to continue to invest in Chinese slave labor. It needs to be understood that the…
