Militarily, we succeeded in Vietnam. We won every engagement we were involved in out there.

The military don't start wars. Politicians start wars.

War is fear cloaked in courage.

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.

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

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

The Vietnam memorial is a masterpiece. The names of the dead are listed there, chronologically. Just the names.
