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.

We were succeeding. When you looked at specifics, this became a war of attrition. We were winning.

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.

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

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.

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 .

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
