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.

First of all, Saddam did not win the war, even though he says he did, I mean, you know, that's a joke and everybody in the world knows it.

I have seen competent leaders who stood in front of a platoon and all they saw was a platoon. But great leaders stand in front of a platoon and see it as 44 individuals, each of whom has aspirations, each of who wants to live, each of whom wants to do good.

I get angry at a principle, not a person.

I do hunt, and I do fish, and I don't apologize to anybody for hunting and fishing.

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

But I would defy anyone to go back over the years and tell me anyone whose career I've ruined, anyone whom I've driven out of the service, anyone I've fired from a job.
