We're going to take care of our military - the people in our military, the finest people we have.
I told you about the jet fighters. Well it's like that with so many other things. So we are going to take care of our military.
We have great people, we have a depleted military.
It's a depleted - we have a very depleted military.
This will be one of my most important elements. When I talk cost cutting, I do for so many different departments where the money is pouring and they don't even know what to do with it. But when it comes to the military we have to enhance our military. It's depleted. That's the word I tend to use.
We have an Army that hasn't been in this position since World War II, in terms of levels and in terms of readiness and in terms of everything else. We are not capable like we have to be.
I can only tell you this and I used to speak about it all the time, we have a Navy that hasn't been in this position since World War I.
We're running a war by politicians and we're running a war by political correctness as per that question [with ISIS].
If they listen to the military people, we probably wouldn't be having an ISIS right now.
Without you [the military forces], we wouldn't be here. I don't think you've been given the respect that you deserve. I don't think you've been allowed to fight ISIS as an example the way you wanted. I don't think you've been allowed to fight for Iraq the way you've wanted.
The truth is, that the military people are so important to our country.
You're gonna get what's good, you're gonna get what the generals and what the admirals and what - and the enlisted and they'll - we'll get together, we wanna get the right stuff.
You're gonna get the best - you're gonna get the best equipment [in the Army].
The truth is I am beholden to no one, nobody's gonna tell me what to do, no - no group that owns a military firm that gives military supplies. Because I know - I've heard the case where often times you wanna buy certain weapons or something and you like one but you get the other one because that one has a contact to our politicians.
