You can't help but... with 20/20 hindsight, go back and say, 'Look, had we done something different, we probably wouldn't be facing what we are facing today.'

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

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.

When placed in command, take charge.

Success is sweet, but the secret is sweat.

Any soldier worth his salt should be antiwar. And still there are things worth fighting for.

A very great man once said you should love your enemies and that's not a bad piece of advice. We can love them but, by God, that doesn't mean we're not going to fight them.
