I think that is well-said. And that is a fundamental shift, and we need to address that and understand that this is a fundamental shift in the way people serve.

How many people crossed that number, but decided to serve anyway?

Is there a statutory cap on how long you can bring somebody onto Active Duty?

I think it is over 50 percent, over half the aircrews during the height of the war were reservists and Guard members.

I just want the committee to know that we are entering into a world where we have less capable allies.
