vargas: mr. speaker, i sincerely thank the gentlewoman from connecticut for bringing us together tonight to defend the snap program. in america, no child should go to bed hungry. no family should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. snap is the most important and effective tool we have to stave off hunger in our country. it is our first line of defense. and yet house republicans have proposed the largest cut to the program in decades. this is cruel. plain and simple. these proposed cuts stand to harm more than 40,000 families in my district, california, and over 40 million families nationwide who benefit from this program. almost 80% of the people who benefit from snap are children, seniors, people with disabilities, and veterans. snap also boosts our local economies. every dollar spent on snap benefits generates roughly $1.50 for economic activity. too many people in our country, making ends meet is a daily battle. programs like snap are vital tools for ending hunger and hel

mr. mccormick from georgia. >> thank you, mr. chair. congratulations to both generals for your retirement. hopefully you're enjoying that somewhat and congratulations to sergeant tyler vargas andrews for his retirement, and hopefully you're enjoying it as well. listening to your testimonies today, when you and i were together last time, we went back and talked about some of the things that happened to create the collapse. i thought it was interesting that general mckenzie talked about knowing about this collapse early on when you could see how it was working rapidly against us. and the interesting thing that you talked about, that you stated a second ago to make sure that forces were not being trained to harm americans, and i would agree. when i was there in 2016, there were very few casualties, with a lot of violence, but they were not training bad guys. and 20,700 plus casualties, plus the years away that we all spent away from our families. we lost it during the withdrawal. now how many billions of dollars left for them during that w
