Actually , the second time 01:04.840 --> 01:07.270 I've been in Iraq since two , 01:08.440 --> 01:11.900 first time was back in february of this 01:11.900 --> 01:14.780 year , just a few weeks after I was 01:14.790 --> 01:17.590 sworn into january uh this year . 01:17.600 --> 01:21.380 Uh That time was really a trip to get a 01:21.390 --> 01:23.223 better understanding of what was 01:23.223 --> 01:25.820 happening uh in Iraq , particularly in 01:25.820 --> 01:28.130 our arm bar , get a better sense of 01:28.140 --> 01:30.640 what I should be worrying about . Uh 01:31.500 --> 01:34.690 uh this time , principal reason for 01:34.700 --> 01:38.270 being back here quite frankly is thank 01:38.270 --> 01:41.800 you and to be able to convey to 01:41.800 --> 01:45.360 you uh the appreciation that we 01:45.360 --> 01:48.240 have , I have personally , that I've 01:48.240 --> 01:51.630 since from the people that I hear from 01:51.630 --> 01:54.200 the Congress of the United States that 01:54.200 --> 01:57.010 I know the administration has for all 01:57.010 --> 01:59.066 the support and all the efforts that 01:59.066 --> 02:01.900 you've taken on in this very 02:01.910 --> 02:04.110 challenging Prime Minister challenging 02:04.120 --> 02:07.810 pipe . Uh it is a 02:07.820 --> 02:11.340 activity that truly is respected and 02:11.340 --> 02:14.300 appreciated . So I just got everybody 02:14.300 --> 02:17.010 in the United States just to give you a 02:17.010 --> 02:19.810 sense of the extent of this . I'll say . 02:19.810 --> 02:23.070 I was asked to go up to the Senate 02:23.080 --> 02:27.070 on monday just a few days ago uh 02:27.080 --> 02:30.650 for a session with uh senator stevens 02:30.650 --> 02:33.190 and Senator Inouye . Uh you may not 02:33.190 --> 02:35.023 know these two individuals , the 02:35.023 --> 02:37.370 statements that the senator from Alaska 02:37.380 --> 02:39.490 has headed the Senate appropriations 02:39.500 --> 02:41.850 defense subcommittee for a number of 02:41.850 --> 02:45.590 years , uh Senator Inouye will be taken 02:45.590 --> 02:48.580 over responsibility . He's the Senate 02:48.580 --> 02:51.460 senior senator from Hawaii . He's also 02:51.470 --> 02:55.190 medal of honor from uh campaign in 02:55.360 --> 02:58.610 Italy during millions to uh 02:58.620 --> 03:01.220 and their comments today . And what 03:01.220 --> 03:04.720 they asked me to convey to you is that 03:04.730 --> 03:07.560 the Senate of the United States has the 03:07.560 --> 03:10.740 almost respect for and support of 03:10.750 --> 03:14.400 all of your uh and the comment that was 03:14.410 --> 03:18.120 made , just engage the support was to 03:18.130 --> 03:21.350 note that this last year was going 03:21.350 --> 03:23.820 through the budget deliberations . The 03:23.830 --> 03:25.386 subcommittee , that defense 03:25.386 --> 03:27.530 subcommittee voted unanimously , The 03:27.540 --> 03:30.360 Budget Support Committee voted 03:30.360 --> 03:34.265 unanimously in support and then some 03:34.265 --> 03:36.815 of the United States voting unanimously 03:36.825 --> 03:39.025 in support of the budget . And oh , by 03:39.025 --> 03:41.785 the way , that's a better vote . Then 03:41.795 --> 03:44.965 we got to declare war on Japan in 03:44.965 --> 03:48.075 1941 after the attack in the harbor . 03:48.085 --> 03:51.365 So anybody who questions whether or not 03:51.365 --> 03:53.421 the Congress of the United States is 03:53.421 --> 03:56.155 supporting us military , I would just 03:56.165 --> 03:59.805 after that experience . So , uh , the 03:59.805 --> 04:02.027 other thing is relative to the public . 04:02.027 --> 04:03.972 I have to tell you that one of the 04:03.972 --> 04:06.027 greatest experiences that I've had a 04:06.027 --> 04:08.835 chance to do since coming to office is 04:08.845 --> 04:11.012 to be able to travel around the United 04:11.012 --> 04:14.025 States with my staff , especially when 04:14.025 --> 04:17.765 they travel with the uniform and to see 04:17.765 --> 04:19.885 the way in which they are treated in 04:19.885 --> 04:21.996 the way in which they are respected , 04:21.996 --> 04:24.218 every place result . We just stopped in 04:24.218 --> 04:26.795 new york a few weeks ago that the stock 04:26.795 --> 04:29.685 exchange , uh , in the moment you walk 04:29.685 --> 04:32.975 out on the floor uh , everyone followed 04:32.985 --> 04:36.335 to applaud and go off to death . 04:36.345 --> 04:39.605 Thank them for what they were doing . 04:39.615 --> 04:42.575 I can't guarantee you ready particular 04:42.575 --> 04:44.686 specifically , but I will just say it 04:44.686 --> 04:46.965 in the following way . I would be very 04:46.965 --> 04:48.965 surprised when you come back to the 04:48.965 --> 04:51.485 States . If you're wearing a uniform 04:51.495 --> 04:53.551 together , have to buy your own here 04:53.551 --> 04:53.515 tomorrow 04:53.575 --> 04:58.495 way , 04:58.495 --> 05:00.825 I'll make sure it doesn't happen . But 05:00.825 --> 05:04.325 I will just tell you that the support 05:04.325 --> 05:08.185 of respect is very much so . When you 05:08.185 --> 05:11.165 come back , take advantage of that 05:11.185 --> 05:15.935 way . 05:15.945 --> 05:18.135 When you come back to stay at another 05:18.135 --> 05:20.735 interesting experience , just the other 05:20.735 --> 05:23.485 week happened to be able to go down to 05:23.495 --> 05:27.265 the opening of the Marine Corps Museum 05:27.265 --> 05:29.915 in Quantico . Uh , many of you have an 05:29.915 --> 05:32.995 opportunity and you have a few three 05:32.995 --> 05:36.315 hours in the northern Virginia area . 05:36.325 --> 05:39.935 Really recommended global in a way . 05:39.945 --> 05:43.295 There was a tremendous uh , opening 05:43.305 --> 05:47.305 president way , 05:47.315 --> 05:49.685 really focused on the announcement of 05:49.695 --> 05:53.535 marijuana ward , popular support 05:53.545 --> 05:56.400 that he made medications , 05:56.870 --> 06:00.360 but also the museum 06:00.360 --> 06:03.150 itself , incredible tribute to the 06:03.160 --> 06:06.530 Marine Corps . Uh , it really is a 06:06.750 --> 06:09.690 museum . If you will have a chance to 06:09.700 --> 06:12.700 go around the world in the museum's , 06:12.710 --> 06:15.360 most of them tend to focus on the 06:15.360 --> 06:18.680 equipment for the great celebrations 06:18.680 --> 06:21.550 and the leadership of the life . This 06:21.550 --> 06:23.600 is a museum that focuses on the 06:23.600 --> 06:25.710 mornings and focuses on great 06:25.710 --> 06:28.100 accomplishments of the marines 06:28.110 --> 06:31.970 throughout the 231 years and I 06:31.970 --> 06:34.850 think it's a great tribute . Uh , one 06:34.850 --> 06:36.750 chord and it's a great tribute to 06:37.530 --> 06:41.080 popular . I would really recommend it 06:41.090 --> 06:44.430 highly . Uh , I don't want to just 06:44.440 --> 06:48.110 stand up here and talk . I do want to 06:48.110 --> 06:51.130 really have a chance to hear with you . 06:51.140 --> 06:54.220 So what am I doing at this point is 06:54.220 --> 06:56.530 turning over to you and ask your 06:56.540 --> 06:58.840 questions . And I really would be 06:58.840 --> 07:01.007 industry knowing what's on your mind , 07:01.007 --> 07:04.700 uh what issues you have to be or just 07:04.700 --> 07:06.811 some place , any observations you may 07:06.811 --> 07:08.950 have and they want to tell him . And 07:08.950 --> 07:11.061 since I usually have problems getting 07:11.061 --> 07:13.172 somebody to ask the first question of 07:13.172 --> 07:16.010 my father just to ask the second 07:16.010 --> 07:19.960 question uh 07:20.110 --> 07:22.930 sometimes at once . I mean people are 07:22.940 --> 07:25.310 going to take the first . So who's got 07:25.320 --> 07:27.264 the second question when interview 07:27.264 --> 07:29.890 with Crazy , 07:32.320 --> 07:35.340 get anything of any of the proposals of 07:35.350 --> 07:39.110 time at the 07:39.110 --> 07:40.930 airport for the 07:42.820 --> 07:46.640 army . And I think 07:46.650 --> 07:49.580 first of all to two aspects of that , 07:50.000 --> 07:52.175 you could not hear a question relevant 07:52.185 --> 07:55.695 to the uh provide for the process 07:55.695 --> 07:57.705 associated with clients of medical 07:57.715 --> 08:00.595 capabilities . Whether or not all the 08:00.605 --> 08:03.345 services are fully committed to that . 08:03.355 --> 08:05.945 I would say that we're still working 08:05.955 --> 08:08.595 through the joint process . There will 08:08.605 --> 08:12.565 uh I also different 08:12.575 --> 08:16.465 aspects associated with uh 08:16.475 --> 08:19.925 our on going well . For example , 08:19.935 --> 08:23.095 I uh that's 08:23.105 --> 08:26.605 a great one very significant 08:26.615 --> 08:28.645 uh medical facility 08:29.845 --> 08:33.645 but more than that I think we're going 08:33.655 --> 08:35.599 down direction , which is going to 08:35.599 --> 08:38.475 integrate medical services at least 08:38.485 --> 08:40.925 back in the states at the medical , the 08:41.215 --> 08:45.125 medical activities . Uh This is 08:45.135 --> 08:47.485 not the same thing as integrating 08:47.495 --> 08:50.905 medicine how in the theater . So the 08:50.905 --> 08:53.165 intent is a service will continue to 08:53.165 --> 08:55.615 have its unique medical 08:55.625 --> 08:58.865 capabilities tailored to his 08:58.875 --> 09:02.425 needs . And afterguard medicine is 09:02.435 --> 09:04.491 different from the Air Force minutes 09:04.491 --> 09:07.015 and probably always building . Uh 09:08.485 --> 09:12.475 huh . And that that will still 09:12.475 --> 09:14.586 continue those differences will still 09:14.586 --> 09:16.725 be there to be able to provide the 09:16.735 --> 09:19.685 medical support is really required in 09:19.685 --> 09:23.475 theater . Back in . It's getting into 09:23.485 --> 09:27.135 more long term medical care and medical 09:27.145 --> 09:29.715 care for dependants as well . There are 09:29.715 --> 09:32.265 a lot of advantages to the buying , 09:32.275 --> 09:35.185 integrate those facilities services to 09:35.195 --> 09:37.362 be able to get the leverage to be able 09:37.362 --> 09:39.417 to get access to specialists that we 09:39.417 --> 09:41.425 want to be able to provide the best 09:41.665 --> 09:44.175 service . I think we will go through 09:44.175 --> 09:46.505 that may take us a few years we're 09:46.505 --> 09:47.205 going to get .
