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.

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

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.

It's the first war we've ever fought on the television screen and the first war that our country ever fought where the media had full reign.

Vietnam was the first war ever fought without any censorship. Without censorship, things can get terribly confused in the public mind.

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.

There were loads of plays which were very popular before and after the war, where everybody wore a dinner jacket in the third act and it was in a house that you wished you'd owned with people that you wish you knew. It was life seen through a very privileged way.

There was no real fringe theatre in London until way after the war, so either a play was done secretly with a club licence or it was done openly and had to be assessed along with everything else.

The Long and the Short and the Tall made a great impression on me because it was a very ugly tale about the reality of soldiering at a time when we were being gung-ho about the whole thing of war.

Before a war military science seems a real science, like astronomy; but after a war it seems more like astrology.

A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own.

If we don't end war, war will end us.

Once the command of the air is obtained by one of the contending armies, the war becomes a conflict between a seeing host and one that is blind.

The whole art of war consists of guessing at what is on the other side of the hill.
