US Presidency
1988

Today a higher percentage of our military are high school graduates and it's a volunteer military than ever in our history. And there are three intelligence brackets used in the military for the assignment of people as to what proper functions and so forth the highest percentage in the top intelligence bracket that we have ever known before in our military. And of all the things I am proud of, I am proud of the young men and women who are wearing our uniform more than anything. But this redressing of that but also, I came into office thinking that for some time I was thinking that there was a hunger for a spiritual revival in America, and I think that has taken place. I hear from more and more people talking about the pride they have in country. On the economic front I got a degree in economics. I didn't deserve it, but I got it. But I took away I remembered something that happened several hundred years ago and it was a man named ibn-Khaldun in Egypt.
