Leadership has been looking at that to setup a climate where retaliation is not acceptable i will put a question for the record about the unused building record in afghanistan. I know there was an investigation that you were not found to be a problem in this but it is a problem the investigation found no problem and in reality there was a huge problem that someone signed off on a building for 36 million that is never going to go used. My final question if you dont have time to do it now, i want to make sure we get your take on isis in afghanistan. With your experience in afghanistan, are you comfortable you have a handle on what isis is trying to do in afghanistan . Senator, what i know from general campbells reports and intelligence is we have seen a number of taliban rebrand themselves as isis but beyond that i dont have a good feel for the depth of the problem but it would be one of the issues i look into if confirmed thank you very much. General dunford, i think you are just the ma
Coordinator and making sure that people are aware and have the resources.
