War is fear cloaked in courage.

The last man in the world who should have been criticized was the American soldier. They should have criticized me.

When I took command in Vietnam, I gave great emphasis to food and medical care - and to the mail

The politicians in Washington just had no idea about the complexity of the situation in South Vietnam.

When the soldiers came home from Vietnam, there were no parades, no celebrations. So they built the Vietnam Memorial for themselves.

It became very clear that Hanoi was in effect strategically running the Viet Cong operation.

I don't think I have been loved by my troops, but I think I have been respected.
