Today, shooting wars are won or lost before they start. If they are fought at all, they would be fought principally to confirm which side had won at the outset.

I don't want to hear of any of you men getting into any fights with the British. But if you do, you'd better not get whipped.

My solution to the problem would be to tell the North Vietnamese Communists frankly that they've got to drawn in their horns and stop their aggression or we're going to bomb them into the stone age.

I don't mind being called tough, since I find in this racket it's the tough guys who lead the survivors.

If we maintain our faith in God, love of freedom, and superior global air power, the future looks good.

I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal.... Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you're not a good soldier.

If you kill enough of them, they stop fighting.
