I love the infantry because they are the underdogs. They are the mud-rain-frost-and-wind boys. They have no comforts, and they even learn to live without the necessities. And in the end they are the guys that wars can't be won without.

All the rest of us - you and me and even the thousands of soldiers behind the lines in Africa - we want terribly yet only academically for the war to get over.

Somebody said that carrier pilots were the best in the world, and they must be or there wouldn't be any of them left alive.

[I]nstead of the usual "Why can't we make movies more like real life?" I think a more pertinent question is "Why can't real life be more like the movies?"

Some day I'd like to cover a war in a country as ugly as war itself.

There is no sense in the struggle, but there is no choice but to struggle.

If you go long enough without a bath, even the fleas will let you alone.
