I like to say I'm not a hero. I was lucky enough to lead a very successful war.

I am living proof that if you catch prostate cancer early, it can be reduced to a temporary inconvenience, and you can go back to a normal life.

I admire men of character and I judge character not by how men deal with their superiors, but mostly how they deal with their subordinates. And that, to me, is where you find out what the character of a man is.

Judge your enemy based upon capabilities, not intent, you have to look at the enemy and really almost make a worst case call every time.

It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.

It is God's job to forgive Osama Bin Laden. It is our job to arrange a face to face meeting.

I'd like to think I'm a caring human being.
