That's the 00:11.627 --> 00:13.738 point . Never put you in a fair fight 00:13.738 --> 00:15.849 and then give you everything you need 00:15.849 --> 00:17.960 to close with and destroy the enemy , 00:17.960 --> 00:20.182 accomplish the mission on behalf of the 00:20.182 --> 00:23.520 nation and come home . Thank you . 00:24.530 --> 00:26.641 You guys make it look easy . It's not 00:26.641 --> 00:28.974 easy , but it's because of the training , 00:28.974 --> 00:31.141 it's because of the dedication and all 00:31.141 --> 00:33.197 the things that you that are refined 00:33.197 --> 00:35.363 here at this great school that give us 00:35.363 --> 00:37.697 capabilities the world can't comprehend , 00:37.697 --> 00:39.863 and I'm looking at the next generation 00:39.863 --> 00:41.752 of aircraft that will deliver air 00:41.752 --> 00:43.974 assaulters for generations in ways that 00:43.974 --> 00:46.197 other countries cannot match . That's a 00:46.197 --> 00:48.030 big part of my job as well as we 00:48.030 --> 00:50.141 rebuild this military , it's not just 00:50.141 --> 00:52.363 what do you need right now . But how do 00:52.363 --> 00:54.141 we see around the corner to the 00:54.141 --> 00:56.141 capabilities of the future and make 00:56.141 --> 00:58.363 sure that you 10 years from now or your 00:58.363 --> 01:00.363 son or daughter when they join this 01:00.363 --> 01:02.474 formation have the very best and have 01:02.474 --> 01:04.641 every advantage that you have . That's 01:04.641 --> 01:06.641 why we're proposing a $1.5 trillion 01:06.641 --> 01:08.586 budget for the Department of War . 01:08.586 --> 01:10.586 That's why we're including a 7% pay 01:10.586 --> 01:11.863 raise for the troops . 01:15.339 --> 01:17.561 It's not just about the equipment . You 01:17.561 --> 01:19.617 gotta have the equipment . You gotta 01:19.617 --> 01:21.783 have people to do it . Uh , and that's 01:21.783 --> 01:23.950 why this ceremony is so special . I'll 01:23.950 --> 01:26.061 just end by saying , I , it , it's no 01:26.061 --> 01:28.061 surprise . I don't know , you never 01:28.061 --> 01:30.228 quite know . But it's no surprise that 01:30.228 --> 01:32.395 this year we're breaking the record of 01:32.395 --> 01:34.617 last year of the number of recruits who 01:34.617 --> 01:36.728 are joining our military . Just a few 01:36.728 --> 01:38.561 years ago , not only were we not 01:38.561 --> 01:40.506 meeting recruiting goals , but the 01:40.506 --> 01:42.728 services were lowering their recruiting 01:42.728 --> 01:44.728 goals by 100s of thousands , 50,000 01:44.728 --> 01:46.839 Americans to try to make it look like 01:46.839 --> 01:49.117 they were meeting the recruiting goals , 01:49.117 --> 01:48.360 and we were still missing the 01:48.360 --> 01:52.069 recruiting goals . It's because We had 01:52.069 --> 01:54.629 leadership that was focused on a lot of 01:54.629 --> 01:56.709 other stuff that may breathe very 01:56.709 --> 01:59.529 nicely in , I don't know , college . 02:00.709 --> 02:02.870 Professor Halls a college professor . 02:03.629 --> 02:05.573 But don't have anything to do with 02:05.573 --> 02:07.796 nations . And so by getting back to war 02:07.796 --> 02:10.610 fighting and basics , we've seen young 02:10.610 --> 02:13.229 Americans surge to join our ranks at 02:13.229 --> 02:15.570 numbers we've never seen before . Last 02:15.570 --> 02:17.490 year we broke a 30 year record of 02:17.490 --> 02:19.546 recruiting across the War Department 02:19.546 --> 02:21.729 and this year we're poised to break 02:21.729 --> 02:24.880 that record . That's that is that is 02:24.880 --> 02:26.713 Americans voting with their most 02:26.713 --> 02:28.658 precious resource , which is their 02:28.658 --> 02:30.769 youngest , their sons and daughters , 02:30.769 --> 02:32.991 uh , to join our military , and you are 02:32.991 --> 02:35.047 a part of that extension today too . 02:35.047 --> 02:36.991 The fact that you're reenlisting , 02:36.991 --> 02:39.269 raising your right hand again to serve , 02:39.269 --> 02:41.324 I'd like to that you believe in what 02:41.324 --> 02:43.158 we're doing right now and you're 02:43.158 --> 02:45.047 committed to continue to serve to 02:45.047 --> 02:47.102 follow through on ensuring we're the 02:47.102 --> 02:49.158 most lethal fighting force on planet 02:49.158 --> 02:51.324 Earth .
