THORNBERRY: THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND OUR TROOPS DESERVE BETTER

WASHINGTON - Responding to an internal DOD memo obtained by POLITICO, Rep. Mac Thornberry, (R-TX) made the following statement:

"It is unfortunate and rather sad that some in the Obama Administration spend so much time and effort playing political games, as evidenced by this memo.  In a Department charged with the security of our nation, the American people and our troops deserve better."

"Members of Congress in both sides of the aisle are working to meet our responsibilities to our troops and to the nation. I hope that in the next Administration we will have a partner who will do the same."
