Today's hearing is just another example of the undeniable fact that America is under constant attack.

When you tell people that the Federal Government spends $80 billion on IT procurement, and a good majority of that is on legacy systems, they're pretty outraged.

I think we need the political will to solve this not only for the folks currently serving this mission, but those who have left.
