As for President Trump, he sounded similar themes as he spoke from the podium for about 70-minutes. It dealt with military culture, but also political issues facing the nation. He disclosed for one that his administration is mulling making the military "larger".
"
We’re thinking about making it larger because we have so many people, and it’s nice to be able to cut people because of merit that aren’t really qualified for any reason, a physical reason, a mental reason, you don’t have to take them anymore, because you have, you have the pick of the litter, and they all want to be with you," Trump said.
"They all want your job. They want to be with you. They want to work with you. They’ll even take your job."
Trump's speech started off a bit awkwardly...
Another interesting moment was when he said Department of Defense
should use "dangerous cities as training grounds for the military and National Guard. Common enlisted ranks might not feel to thrilled about that one.
"I told Pete [Hegseth],
we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military, National Guard, but military, because
we’re going into Chicago very soon, that’s a big city with an incompetent governor," Trump continued from Quantico.
And on the issue of unruly crowds or demonstrators disrespecting law enforcement and the military, he quipped
"they spit, we hit."
"People are standing, their mouth is this far away from their mouth, and they’re spitting at them and they’re screaming at them. And that soldier standing there, he wants to knock the hell out of the person, but he’s not allowed to do anything," Trump said. "I say they spit, we hit. Is that okay? I think so, they spit it’s a new thing. They spit, we hit."
And when rioting crowds throw bricks or rocks at officers, he said: "You get out of that car, and you can do whatever the hell you want to do, because those people are, you now can die from that."
