A visiting pastor once told a congregation "what good is it to read the Bible if you are not going to do what it says?" ... By way of analogy... One day SECNAV asks Congress "what good is it to ask the Navy these questions if you are not prepared to pay for the answers I give you?"
Good one!! One problem is that SECNAV's boss is the one (or ones) who mostly determine what Congress can allocate and where. They can fiddle around the edges, but it's the "Administration" who sets the big picture. Defense is not this "Administration's" top (or second of third) priority.
The good Congressman--and/or his staff, have their stuff together I would REALLY like to see the answers to those questions..
