Back in the old Corp, we weren't training those privates to infiltrate into the peacetime Marine Corp. We were training those privates to go to Vietnam.

Without discipline, there is no Marine Corps.

Everybody respects the Vietnam Veterans of America.

Back in those days intimidation was the greatest tool the drill instructor had. Without that tool, he would not have had control.

I disagree with a lot of those changes, however at the end of the day - I go down to recruit graduation at least once or twice a year.

You'd be surprised how many kids and young people come to the website and send me email that they are actually going into the Marine Corp because of something that I said or did.
