Utilize defense department property or resources with respect to the ukraine evacuees. that would be really something better directed to dhs and the state department. theres no active efforts right now that -- for dod participation in that kind of a move. look, mike, i mean, ukrainians have had to flee. i suspect they want to go home to their home. to a country not being bombed and shelled. not invaded by russia. i would imagine thats what they really want. theyre not looking for new homes. they...
