You have to be true to what you believe in and do your duty.
What I learned in the military is that gossip starts early and it stays forever.
Veterans have had a long record of leaning towards the Republican Party. I think that's changing. I think that President Obama has the strongest record with veterans among any president in my lifetime.
I like Hilary Clinton. I think she's - she's a fantastic leader.
Everybody in the military has a reputation, and usually it doesn't come out to the public.
The campaign in Iraq illustrates the continuing progress of military technology and tactics, but if there is a single overriding lesson it must be this: American military power, especially when buttressed by Britain's, is virtually unchallengeable today. Take us on? Don't try! And that's not hubris, it's just plain fact.
Already the scent of victory is in the air.
You need people with the courage to stand up and voice their opposition without being labeled unpatriotic.
President George Bush had the courage and the vision and we will always be grateful to President George Bush for that tremendous leadership and statesmanship.
This is kind of hard to articulate, but in broad outline, the United States is going to do what the United States has to do.
I think we're at risk with our democracy. I think we're dealing with the most closed, imperialistic, nastiest administration in living memory. They even put Richard Nixon to shame.
George W. Bush has helped those who have most, hurt those who have least and ignored everyone in between.
Maybe it's because I've never been in politics, but I don't believe that America is run by politicians in Washington. I believe it's run by people like us, in places like this.
There are only two kinds of plans. Plans that might work and plans that won't work... you have to take a plan that might work and make it work.
