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

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.

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

We had the best food any battlefield ever had.

When I took command in Vietnam, I gave great emphasis to food and medical care - and to the mail.

War is fear cloaked in courage.

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