I served in all commissioned ranks from a second Lieutenant to a Major General. And during that time, I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism.

Ich war in allen Dienstposten vom zweiten Leutnant bis zum Generalmajor. Während dieser Zeit verbrachte ich die meiste Zeit damit, ein erstklassiger Muskelkater für Big Business, für die Wall Street und für die Bankiers zu sein. Kurz gesagt, ich war ein Schläger für den Kapitalismus.

There's smarter people than me. But you cannot have any one guy running 18 billion-dollar businesses. It just doesn't make sense to me. I've met some extraordinary leaders in my time. They struggle with running one billion-dollar business.
