What I don't understand here is your party's approach. You wanted a competition. We have a full competition, and we are actually competing for more aircraft than your party asked for. However, we want to increase the number of aircraft so that we can actually fly the missions. I have a difficult time understanding why you have a concern with this because we have a full competition to replace up to 88, but at the same time, we're purchasing more for our women and men in the air force so they can actually live up to the commitments that we, as a nation, signed up for.
