I lived in Djibouti for a long time, and I sent some of my guys to Yemen, and that was a big secret, and it's not anymore, obviously. But, Ms. Thompson, have you guys looked at this from a policy perspective? I mean, The last two SEALs that were killed in combat, unfortunately, were in the Red Sea, Derek and I's teammates, and they were boarding these vessels to try to prevent these munitions from getting to the Houthis. So this is very personal to me, Ms. Thompson. Thank you for the question, Congressman, and rightly understood. (04:02–04:13)
