I don't have any respect at all for the scum-bags who went to Canada to avoid the draft or to avoid doing their fair share.

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

You'd be surprised how many kids and young people come to the website and send me email that they are actually going into the Marine Corps because of something that I said or did.

When you try to find funding for a VVA function, it doesn't seem like it's any trouble at all. People come out of the woodwork with their money to help out because we went over and fought a war.

Without discipline, there is no Marine Corp.

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

I firmly believe that you live and learn, and if you don't learn from past mistakes, then you need to be drug out and shot.
