i take it upon myself to go to walter reed. i will go to my grave regretting that i voted to send our kids to iraq, which was an unnecessary war initially. very unnecessary. but we went and our kids, 4,000 died, 30,000 were wounded 100,000 iraqis killed. that's history now. i know we can't change history, but hopefully we can learn from history. the people are frustrated. i talk about this down in my district, mr. mcgovern. that's why i support this h.con. resolution 55. i don't know how many billions of dollars we are spending in afghanistan. i know that's a different subject. i want to make my point. the billions of dollars that we are expending in afghanistan is just so ironic that the inspector general of afghan reconstruction, talks about the waste, fraud, and abuse. it's ongoing. and we have had marines from my district who were sent to afghanistan to train the afghans to be policemen and soldiers, and the people they were training turned the guns on them and killed them. we are sending our young men and women into these

more over, i spent a year in walter reed in a body cast recuperating from my injuries and with the help wife and the physical therapist, i started walking again. and i'm proven testimony that to this day i can do law enforcement work with all of my pains and aches. when i was early discharged in 1995, i immediately took a position as a u.s. custom inspector in san juan, puerto rico where he made a lot of good things for this nation and i continue serving with pride honor and dignity to this day. when i joined in '95, i completed to this day 20 years of active service with the service that is now the department of homeland security, u.s. customs and border protection. sadly, because i did the right thing, i have suffered retaliation from the people that i would have expected to receive support and complete admiration for doing the honorable thing because i remember back in 1986 as i did just now when i raised my hand and swore to tell the truth, i also swore to protection the constitution of the united states against all foreign and domestic enemies. well members of the committee, we are

anyone who visits walter reed will see the destruction. thousands of our troops have been incapacitated and mangled from i.e.d.'s from hezbollah, all funded by obama's ally iran. anyone who was around in 1983 will remember the 241 american servicemen who were killed in the hezbollah terror attack in beirut. so guess what obama is doing with them? it reports in "bloomberg news," we are bailing them out of their humiliating loss the islamic state. the article goes on, but it's just exceedingly tragic but it explains why the president's been unable to state that we have a clear strategy in the middle east because on the one hand, we've had the united states military give their lives fighting against the tyranny and the atrot yits of hezbollah. on the other hand, we now have the president, the commander in chief who commands over our forces that he has put in the same camp with hezbollah and the hope apparently by the administration is, even though they are still bragging in hezbollah about killing american soldiers but maybe having them camp
