Mark Warner said "I am fearful the Senator has thrown out a fishnet here that catches too many when he says prohibit the use of contractors as relates to combat missions. I just do not know how we would operate aboard our ships. I do not know how we would operate in a number of theaters without the benefit of contractors, and, at certain times, they are in harm's way. So at the moment we will have to have very vigorous opposition to this amendment as it is presently drawn." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
