The possibility of military action on syria is still looming. As the chairman of the subcommittee on readiness, what do you think the military is capable of doing in syria, in light of the sequester and the budget cuts . That is of concern to all of us.

It will now need to have real effects on syria and on other adversaries in the region, that they do not want to test the United States in this regard. I do not
As not simply honorable but almost a part of what it meant to be a citizen. I grew up in that environment. When it came time to go to college, i had choices. And i think i went to west point, not because i thought i was going to be a career officer, but because i was attracted to what they had to offer and thought i would save my parents some money by paying for my education. They paid for you go there too, slight. Its a stiphon. Its spending money, more than spending money, yes . Where did you grow up in illinois and indiana . I was in normal, illinois.
