 The thing about hard times is everybody feels them. And when someone in charge comes to town, they're going to be questions. Even if he talks to the budget, which I think he will, I really believe he's going to talk now. I want to know what the second and third order of effects are going to be. What do we see in the future? Soldiers like Master Sergeant Michael Sadler came prepared. I'll be like, uh... Today, we are honored to have with us... He's a tall guy. I'm the 38th Chief of Staff of the Army, General Raymond, for the year now, and his wife, Linda. Well, first, it's great to be back here. I was here about a year ago. Soldiers know how much can happen in a year. I know it's been difficult. Deployed or not, the enemy they're fighting now... So we have a question over here, sir. ...is uncertainty. Okay. Morning, sir. Master Sergeant Sadler from Use of Retention. Yeah. What type of effects do you see with the decisions that are being made today that will affect us three, four years down the road? Great question. So one of my concerns right now is... Sometimes the best answers aren't the ones you want to hear. It might be frustrating, it might be a bit unpredictable, but it will work itself out. And the one thing I know is we start right now from a position of strength because we have the most capable, experienced combat force we've ever had, and we start from a position of strength. Another thing about hard times is... Thanks, everybody. God bless all of you. ...a little reassurance can go a long way. It was a very good brief and glad I made it.
