He is neither a strategist nor is he schooled in the operational arts nor is he a tactician nor is he a general. Other than that he's a great military man.

I went to military college in Canada and graduated as an officer in the Navy but also as an engineer.

If the United States is hit with a weapon of mass destruction that inflicts large casualties the Constitution will likely be discarded in favor of a military form of government.

I want the government to provide the military so we don't get invaded by somebody and destroyed. I want the government to provide the roads so I can get from point A to B. In terms of taking care of my day to day needs I want to do that myself. I want my community to do that.

I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions.

When you decide to get involved in a military operation in a place like Syria you've got to be prepared as we learned from Iraq and Afghanistan to become the government and I'm not sure any country either the United States or I don't hear of anyone else who's willing to take on that responsibility.

The nuclear arsenal that Pakistan has I believe is secure. I think the government and the military have taken adequate steps to protect that.

Over grown military establishments are under any form of government inauspicious to liberty and are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty.

In the councils of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence whether sought or unsought by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

For good or for ill air mastery is today the supreme expression of military power and fleets and armies however vital and important must accept a subordinate rank.

Like the old soldier of the ballad I now close my military career and just fade away an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.

We don't thrive on military acts. We do them because we have to and thank God we are efficient.

I look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint its wealth with our wisdom its power with our purpose.

The men and women who serve in our military have won for us every hour we live in freedom sometimes at the expense of the very hours of the lifetimes they had hoped to live.

If you ask me to summarise our mission I would put it this way: We were a military regime that sought to lay the foundations for freedom and liberty in a complex society.

I have always that there ought to be some kind of mandatory national service not necessarily in the military but to show everybody that freedom isn't free that everybody has an obligation to the nation as a community.

This enemy of peace in the world today is unlike any we have seen in the past and our military is learning from and building on previous successes while carrying peace and freedom into the future.

For the past several years I have remained what others would consider underground. I did this in order to build a community of people like-minded in their desire for freedom and the right to pursue their goals and lives without being manipulated and controlled by a media protected military industrial complex with a completely different agenda.

Before Nelson Mandela was arrested in 1962 he was an angry relatively young man. He founded the ANC's military wing. When he was released he surprised everyone because he was talking about reconciliation and forgiveness and not about revenge.

You know rural Americans are a special people. Their labor puts food on our table and fuel in our gas tanks. Their service in our military sets a powerful example of leadership honor and sacrifice. Their spirit of community inspires us all.

The war we are fighting today against terrorism is a multifaceted fight. We have to use every tool in our toolkit to wage this war - diplomacy finance intelligence law enforcement and of course military power - and we are developing new tools as we go along.

The world has nothing to fear from military ambition in our Government.

You feel sometimes when you hear analysts and knowledgeable people talking about Iran that they fear so much about the survival of the regime because deep down it's not a legitimate regime it doesn't represent the will of the people it's kind of morphed into kind of a military theocracy.

Except for naval and air exercises our military should be stationed on American soil where service men and women can lead normal lives in close proximity to family and friends.
