A friend of mine told me to shoot first and ask questions later. I was going to ask him why, but I had to shoot him.

My hope and prayer is that everyone know and love our country for what she really is and what she stands for.

We built your fort. We will not have it used against us.

Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid.

I am an old-fashioned, honest-to-goodness, flag waving patriot.

Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave? Sure I love my country with all her faults. I'm not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be. I was proud when President Nixon ordered the mining of Haiphong Harbor, which we should have done long ago, because I think we're helping a brave little country defend herself against Communist invasion. That's what I tried to show in The Green Berets and I took plenty of abuse from the critics.

I never trust a man that doesn't drink.
