Admiral Gortney. for example. who is the commander of NORTHCOM. has made this point along with everyone else. but he also went further to make the point that I think is critical when we are talking about defense and nondefense spending. You cannot draw this bright line between the Department of Defense and everybody else in terms of our national security. NORTHCOM. which is responsible for our security in the United States. depends upon border control agents at our border. They depend upon the Department of Homeland Security. If that agency is not adequately funded. if they are suffering through sequestration and the BCA levels. then we will not have the kind of national security we need.
