Good morning, my name is Holly. I am the Chairman Of The House Armed Services Committee. I am a lawmaker in the senate; I am not in the president’s cabinet. I am here in the case that military action is taken or war breaks out, I would be trusted upon to give permission for action.

The USA should still stand by and be prepared if anything were to occur. I don’t believe any other method would work because they
