So is this the price that women are expected to pay to serve our Nation in our Marine Corps?

I have heard a lot of my colleagues talking about how we are just going to do a CR [Continuing Resolution] this year. That would be a complete and total disaster for the United States military, for the ability of this country to defend itself.

You can't both vote to cut the discretionary budget and then complain at the DOD for not spending enough money.

If you are going to meet the ridiculous number that was set yesterday by the House, you would have to cut everything else by roughly 50 percent.

Yesterday, the House voted to go back to the fiscal year 2022 level. All of the Republicans voted for it; no Democrats voted for it.

Are you satisfied that we're adequately resourced to meet the needs?

We are being successful because of the leadership of the Biden administration, the leadership of NATO, and most importantly because of the courage of the Ukrainian people.

Looking forward as we're looking at our posture in Europe in light of the changes...

we will stand together, we will stand up against Russian aggression, and we will make sure that a sovereign democratic Ukraine remains.

the alliance has been unbelievably successful in preserving Ukraine and turning back Russia.

It is not only the United States alone. It is the alliance of 31, soon to be 32 members.
