Um the the um Deputy Secretary Kath Hicks spoke a few years ago.
Um, you know, it it's uh it's exciting to see if you go to Washington, you know, there's not many things that people agree on.
The one thing that people usually agree on in Washington is the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act, and supporting.
our troops making sure that the best technology ends up in the hands of the warfighter.
And so I don't think there's ever been um pushback on investing in the defense industrial base.
Um it's something that whether you're talking to House Dems or House Republicans or Senate Dems or Senate Republicans, they they usually get to alignment and agreement on.
Um and again, like the the people who serve on those committees, most of them are veterans, um, or met a good many of them are veterans or they've worked in the intelligence community.
So they know the realities of what you're dealing with if you have a faulty device or if you're up against an adversary that has better technology than you.
And because they've experienced that, um, they sort of put away their partisan affiliation.
You know, I I think uh the the old saying, there's there's no atheists in foxholes, there's really no Democrats or Republicans in foxholes either.
It's like people want to work together and they wanna they wanna solve the problem at hand.
And so I think you really see that in Washington.
And when we go, we we work with everyone.
Um and no matter who is in power, we're we're always supporting this issue um in in the same way.
We need to make sure that our men and women in uniform have the best technology in their hands at all times.
What could government do better?
Oh goodness.
Well I so I think for I have a lot of thoughts.
so so I think, you know, it has been a 10-year, I mean it's been a 10-year journey of saying the same things over and over and over again about needing to bring Silicon Valley companies into procurement.
Um so we we've worked very different you know, very closely um with members on both sides of the aisle on how important it is to bring in new technology.
