Coming about this time tomorrow that force will number about 7,200-7,500 army and marines assisting the national guard with search and rescue and humanitarian assistance.

I think we're going to be there a relatively long time. I see it in months, and not weeks.

We have two companies of Marines running rampant all over the northern half of this island, and three Army regiments pinned down in the southwestern corner, doing nothing. What the hell is going on?

America's finest - our men and women in uniform, are a force for good throughout the world, and that is nothing to apologize for.

...It is a proud privilege to be a soldier – a good soldier … [with] discipline, self-respect, pride in his unit and his country, a high sense of duty and obligation to comrades and to his superiors, and a self confidence born of demonstrated ability.

If I charge, follow me. If I retreat, kill me. If I die, revenge me.
