Communications are better now than in my Vietnam days.

I'm never, like I say, I'm never happy, I'm never satisfied, it's never good enough.

Playing the good guy is tough because you know as well as I do, in real life, you have to watch your P's and Q's and conduct yourself in a respectable manner if you expect to have friends.

I've never had to spend any time in the VA hospital, so I really can't speak for those guys.

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.

Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair.

Back in the old Corp, we weren't training those privates to infiltrate into the peacetime Marine Corp. We were training those privates to go to Vietnam.
