On the recordMarch 10, 1998
To that end, I just interviewed a former lieutenant commander. We were talking about the possibility of him working in our congressional office. He told the story of every third flight something breaking down in the aircraft he was flying, and that is one of the reasons he left the service. It is a very serious problem. Again, I do not think we should get bogged down, that we look at this in a very pessimistic way, but rather we need to dare to dream as Americans that we can find it within ourselves to restore our military to the strong position that it should be in this world.
