We--as a Nation--owe it to our military children to provide the best possible environment for them to grow and thrive.
We have to somehow get ahead of this. I don't know if we can maintain 12 percent forever.
In the current system, it would be almost impossible. But somebody has to get a grip on this.
If we are going to err, it is my view that I would rather have more soldiers than you need than not enough.
Yes, they are two different events. I totally agree with that, but it is coming out of one basic pocket here, and that pocket is not large enough, in my opinion, to meet all the needs of the Active-Duty Forces.
What do we know about the effect of these years on children as they grow into adolescence?
Last year, Senator Nelson and I proposed a legislative solution to this. Do we need to propose legislation again this year?
Has there been any thought of expanding the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences?
We are going to try to come up with a new program to home grow some mental health professionals.

what do we need to do to support families and help them work through problems and hopefully become stronger as a result?
