Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things.

Remember where you came from.

"Do you have any regrets?" Of course I do.

Keep your sense of humor. As General Joe Stillwell said, 'The higher a monkey climbs, the more you see of his behind'.

What will follow will not be a repeat of any other conflict. It will be of a force and scope and scale that has been beyond what has been seen before.

There are a lot of things that are said by people in the military, or civilian life, or in the Congress, or in the Executive Branch, that are their views. And that's the way we live. We're a free people. And that's the wonderful thing about our country.

Know that the amount of criticism you receive may correlate somewhat to the amount of publicity you receive.
