I will now recognize Ranking Member Reid from the full committee at Senator Rosen's request for opening remarks.
00:11
Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, Senator Rosen.
00:15
I just want to take a moment to recognize General Hawke for his 35 years of dedicated service to this country and to the United States Air Force.
00:25
His sudden and inexplicable firing is disrespectful to his service, but also disrespectful to every military member in or out of uniform,
00:37
and an indication that their service and sacrifice is in no way respected by this administration.
00:44
The callous nature of the decision, the result of a meeting with a partisan conspiracy theorist,
00:51
not on any kind of informed or experienced judgment, puts our security at grave risk and cannot be tolerated or continued.
01:02
We salute a dedicated American for his service and sacrifice and his family for standing with him and wish him well.
01:13
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
