about the marines' plans. you have been public in your criticism. what is your worries about the vulnerability, sustainability and access for these marines being deployed? lt. gen. van riper: the marines have always been an offensive organization. the few times we have been on defense, it is not gone well. in the second world war, the marines had a defense battalion. they were not able to resupply to provide any support. of course, the island fell with tremendous casualties. what we are talking about now is putting marines on islands in the first island chain on the western pacific. there is no ability logistically, and even the marine corps would admit this now, to support them. you would not be able to get casualties out. nick: i spoke to the current marine commanders on okinawa and they acknowledge your concerns, but they point out they don't have to do everything themselves. that they will be supported by the navy and air force. will that be possible? lt. gen. van riper: no. there have been articles writte

in this case, it was the navy and marine corps. what is the congressional perspective with respect to recruiting? we appear to be entering a very challenging period of time. rep. courtney: definitely, a high degree of concern. this was definitely a big topic with all of the participants. had a great conversation with secretary del toro about addressing the challenges that sailors and officers are experiencing in terms of access to mental health services. we have got to make it as attractive as possible for people. covid, in my opinion, the post-covid hesitation in terms of our labor market generally speaking, but as well as recruitment into the military, even our military academy applicants is down. talking to my colleagues in terms of nomination. we have to do everything we can to really bolster the attractiveness of military service for folks. again, that spills over into industrials. we have got to close the skills gap by aggressively getting programs out there to train new welders and sheet metal workers, etc. i personally feel
