Contingency over seas in the near future . You would have to do one of two things. You would either have to grow the force. We believe that the force is 186,000 marines. And elsewhere, we could take services that are deployed in the far east and okonawa. We did that in the combat in iraq. And its only through the past few years we have been able to reestablish our presence in the pacific. We have some options. The other option is we go all in. We activate our reserves and we go and do what needs to be done. We have done that before too. You can do that for a short period of time but as you mentioned, that is not sustainable.

And when we first sent volunteer female marines inligsed to determine their ability to complete that course. The number that went they had an about a 36 Completion Rate and again, we are still looking at this. We are we have not made any sort of predecision. So again whatever we do, it is about individual standards. It is about the capableeableility of the unit and that unit becoming better, or at least as good as it is now. So tha ....

It specifically set our fight was not against al qaeda and a summa been bottomed solely, if if we viewed our fight is that wextre would lose. It was islamic extremism andter worldwide terrorism.

And know that they were working with who they identified as their afghan brothers so just im regret that so much hey, bad i can remember the first time i went to afghanistan with sheila jacksonlee. She pointed out that bad news has no feet and excuse me. What is it . Good news has no feet and bad news has wings. And wow. But the bad the good thing is that extraordinary progress has been made and i agree with the chairman, too, that success in afghanistan is to deny terrorists safe havens which protects American Families and that we cannot forget it was september 11th, 2001, the attacks on our country, that were originated, planned and culminated from caves in afghanistan so im just very appreciative of your efforts and the largely bipartisan support we have here w.
