It is morally irresponsible to try to balance the financial woes and our bank accounts on the backs of our men and women in uniforms.

I truly hope the White House that originated this issue...needs to come and meet with our chairman.

There shouldn't be finger-pointing. It needs to be addressed.

It is my view that you indeed are providing testimony from the heart.

I am tired of our President being a little bit AWOL on this subject.

The Marine Corps is to be reduced by 20,000 marines to 182,000.

What is the proper role of the Federal government and what should be the primary function of State government, which is to provide for public education, and I believe it should be led by local elected school boards.

Congratulations. Forbes has named Utah as the best State for business for 3 years in a row.

South Carolina was the poster child, the NLRB overreach, as you indicated.

These failures highlighted by the ARB report serve as a blueprint for terrorists on where our weaknesses lie, where we are vulnerable.

Do you find it acceptable that the State officials responsible for this lack of leadership and mismanagement, and for ignoring security requests during the Benghazi attack and before, remain employed within the State Department?

And indeed, I worked on such issues as a JAG [Judge Advocate General] officer in the South Carolina Army National Guard.

Thank you for being here today. It is really uplifting to me, General Welsh, as you were quoting Air Force Secretary Michael Donley, he indicated that the Air Force is a family.

You let the consulate become a death trap, and that is national security malpractice.

If you were clear-eyed, shouldn't you have known that al-Qaeda roamed freely in and around Benghazi?

I will tell you what difference it makes. It makes a difference when Americans think they were misled about something for political reasons.
