This was a type of war that we'd had no experience with before. Some of our policies were kind of trial and error in character.

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

I don't take criticism lying down.

We'll blast them back into the stone ages!

I have no apologies, no regrets. I gave my very best efforts.... I've been hung in effigy. I've been spat upon. You just have to let those things bounce off .

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

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