No, I accept that you've learned lessons. I just have to express my profound disappointment that the words said about the duty they performed weren't backed up by actions showing that the military really gave a damn about their pensions--and this is for those who came back alive. So this is huge, and I'm greatly disappointed that we have a report like this. It's not consistent with the approach that the military takes towards its soldiers, and that's why it stands out.
The last thing I want to leave here is what I heard--if I heard correctly--on a question of whether you were going to hire people, because your plan, as I'm looking at it, says that the backlog won't be completed until December 31, 2017. The Assistant Auditor General, in his opening remarks, said that some reservists could have to wait for up to seven years from '07. Yet when the question was put on whether you were going to hire people to make this a priority and get it fixed, what I heard was that it's an open question. I would have expected, “Yes, sir, we're going to be hiring people as quickly as we can because we don't treat our reservists that way”.
Why didn't we hear that?
