President Johnson did not want the Vietnam War to broaden. He wanted the North Vietnamese to leave their brothers in the South alone.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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 .
