I recognize there probably won't be more money, so I won't tell you that I would just ask for more money.
My concern is about our ability to pivot. Events take place that are outside of our control. We don't control much about the world order today. As a result, I want to be everywhere. I want to be everywhere with good people, even if it's not as many people as I would like to have. I don't want to trust other states' intelligence when something happens in a place where we didn't expect it to happen.
We can pick winners, but historically, governments haven't been very good at picking winners on just about any issue. I would rather maintain as broad a presence as possible with professionals who are good at assessing situations and feeding back in so we can pivot on a dime.
