Michael, I am very familiar with the Carl Vinson and the Carrier Battle Groups and that the Vinson carries a crew of 5000 and displaces 95,000 tons and has a Marine detachment as part of the Battle Group and has 77 high performance Attack and Fighter aircraft aboard. It is a fine example of Defense Money spent well, and the readiness and the ability to do what they did in Aghan without a single casualty is a testament to their readiness which is also a tribute to the former Administration. So I don't need to be told about Carriers been there done that and get a tear in my eye whenever they do operations which are just magnificent. I do however, get real upset that 120 billion is just plain wasted in DOD and now we are going to increase the waste and BTW haven't even raised the money to pay for it.
