I hate to hear 'Less is more.' It's a crock of crap.

I was stationed at a Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego from 1965 to 1967.

Back in those days intimidation was the greatest tool the drill instructor had. Without that tool, he would not have had control.

America's trying to do the best for its veterans.

I spend a lot of time with my characters.

I always love to come to Austin.

Even though I disagree with many of the changes, when I see the privates graduate at the end of the day, when they walk off that drill field at the end of the ceremony, they are still fine privates; outstanding, well motivated privates.
