AWACS aircraft are very high-demand assets, and we're incurring losses there.

Well, Steve, thanks for your support of the book.

And I just say on this Palm Sunday, rather than my social media, let's go remember that it's National Vietnam War Veterans Day.

Nine million Americans served in the Vietnam War, and today is the day that we honor them.

including 58,000 who were killed in over 58,000 who were killed in the war.

So it's important to remember those.

We had loved ones, of course, friends, family members who died in Vietnam or were wounded there or who served there.

So it's important today on this Palm Sunday also to remember our Vietnam War veterans.

Well, Steve, thanks very much for your support for it.

And thank you for writing the foreword to the book.

Look, when we think about this conflict, we need to think about the causes.

That's a discussion for another time.

Secondly, the conduct, which is so important today.

And then thirdly, the consequences, which we're going to talk about a lot, obviously, in the months and years to come.

If we look at the conduct of this war, we're seeing that the U.S.

is realizing its war aims as it identified them.

That is that the missiles, of course, ballistic cruise missiles, drone production are being attrited, the Navy, the Air Force obviously were able to operate over Iran.

essentially, as we wish.

Key sticking points are the uranium and that issue, if that's going to become a cause of concern, and then the Strait of Hormuz, and now broadening, of course, to the Red Sea in the Bab el-Mandab.

And so I think when we're thinking about those issues, it's also important, Steve, to broaden this too.
