Thank you, Mr. Chair.
“Flash-bang” was the term we used with the tactical team, and I don't want to go back to those sounds and sights.
Professor Leuprecht, you mentioned something in your opening remarks. You called it the “missing middle”. You explained that we need to fix it quickly. How do we fix it quickly? Can you expand on the danger that the missing middle poses to our military's readiness to protect our country?
