• Luché y jugué al fútbol en el instituto y, en mi último año, empecé como luchador y, de hecho, tuve un récord bastante bueno. Pero odiaba perder. Siempre di todo lo que tenía y, por desgracia, no fue tanto como esperaba. Pero ten en cuenta que siento que saqué el máximo partido de mi capacidad. Un momento que fue especial por encima de todos los demás fue ganar mi último combate en la Academia Naval para terminar todo el verano invicto. Aquello fue emocionante, pero, además, me ayudó en la cárcel, porque la primera vez que me golpearon los vietnamitas no fue un shock total.

• Blackwater USA has already taken in more than $1 billion from the public coffers. All in all, that's not a bad take for Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater and a Naval Academy dropout who served less time under the colors of the nation, in uniform, than my most recent pair of boots.

• The United States and China have both beefed up their naval presence in Southeast Asia, leading to fears of a military confrontation. This is just one example of China flexing its military muscle in recent months, and it coincides with a slowdown in the nation's economy.

• I work very closely with Steve Bannon. Frankly, people should look at the full resume. He`s got a Harvard Business degree, a naval officer. He has success in entertainment. I don`t know if you`re aware of that. And he certainly was a Goldman Sachs manager and partner. Brilliant tactician.

• Trump's tendency is to rub shoulders with dictators. We have seen this with his attitude toward Russia and also toward the present dictatorship in Egypt. He might start to cozy up to the Gulf dictators as a way of trying to scare the Iranians. This could lead to a naval confrontation in the Persian Gulf.

• My guess is that Trump will begin withdrawing troops from Europe at a slow pace. He will demand a renovation of the Iran Accord and get nowhere with this. There might be more US sanctions on Iran. However, the Iranians will not compromise with Trump, and barring a naval confrontation in the Persian Gulf, it will be US businesses that will suffer and Trump's frustration level that will go up.

• Take a look at the Supreme Court decision that just authorized an effort by U.S. claimants against Iran for terrorist acts. What are the terrorist acts? The terrorist acts are bombings of U.S. military installations in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, which Iran is claimed to have something to do with. Well suppose they did. That's not terrorism. I mean if we have a military base in Lebanon that while we're shelling Lebanese naval ships, the Navy is shelling Lebanese installations and somebody attacks [that's not terrorism].

• Certainly in the United States, you have a constituency in the form of the weapons laboratories, and you also have the branches of the armed services that are involved with nuclear weapons deployment, especially the naval submarine operations and also the air force's land-based ICBM operations. So they have a big lobby in Washington.

• Sin embargo, la guerra de Kosovo tuvo lugar en el espacio orbital. En otras palabras, la guerra tiene lugar ahora en el "espacio aeroelectromagnético". Equivale al nacimiento de un nuevo tipo de flotilla, de una flota doméstica, de un nuevo tipo de potencia naval, ¡pero en el espacio orbital!

• Matt Lauer le hizo [Hillary Clinton] preguntas difíciles, de hecho, preguntas que deberían haber sido hechas y seguidas por el FBI en su investigación donde llegaron a una conclusión de color de rosa. Así que para mí, esto fue realmente muy útil. Y creo que, obviamente, fue un gran momento, nada más empezar, cuando tuvimos al oficial de la marina que realmente se lo dijo a Hillary y le dijo: escucha...

• The President is to be commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States. In this respect his authority would be nominally the same with that of the king of Great Britain, but in substance much inferior to it. It would amount to nothing more than the supreme command and direction of the land and naval forces, as first general and admiral ... while that of the British king extends to the declaring of war and to the raising and regulating of fleets and armies - all which, by the Constitution under consideration, would appertain to the legislature.
