Madam Chair, this is a very troubling issue.
I had the privilege of serving with Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor. I've been in contact with her over the last few days. She's a tremendous officer. I saw her in combat in Kandahar, commanding a company of 100 to 120 plus soldiers in probably one of the most dangerous places in Afghanistan.
Our exchange was one of mutual respect, but what I said was that I respect and support her decision. That's a message to anybody who is in that situation. Everybody has a personal calculus as to whether they can change the situation better from the outside or from the inside. My message down the chain of command as our people are getting to that decision point—or even before it—is to have the conversation. Have the conversation as to where the biggest impact can be to make our institution a better place.
In terms of a formal process, we are not there yet. I'm not sure if we have to be, other than having those really heart-to-heart conversations.
