The modernization of the department of the defense is a national emergency. In fact, one could say, it is a matter of life and death. Ultimately, every American’s. A new idea ignored may be the next threat overlooked. A person employed in a redundant task is a person who could be countering terrorism or nuclear proliferation. Every dollar squandered on waste is one denied to the warfighter. We’re here today challenging us all to wage an all-out campaign. To shift pentagon’s resources from bureaucracy to the battlefield. We know the adversary. We know the threat.
