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

I haven't yet figured out how I was made first captain, because I was not an outstanding student. I was an adequate student.

I don't take criticism lying down.

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