My wife was my greatest asset. I didn't marry her until after World War II, but she has complemented me in every job I've ever had

As the senior commander in Vietnam, I was aware of the potency of public opinion - and I worried about it.

I do not believe that the men who served in uniform in Vietnam have been given the credit they deserve. It was a difficult war against an unorthodox enemy.

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

In the end, we lost IndoChina to the communists. But we did not lose Southeast Asia.

I've made this statement many times: If I would have to do it over again, I would have made known the forthcoming Tet Offensive.

Anytime it was advertised that I was going to be at a particular place, the radicals would be there, the cameras with TV news.
