(The military) wanted to give him the Bronze Star for his injury, and he wouldn't accept it. He said what he was doing was what he was supposed to be doing and what everyone else was doing.

He was a person who knew exactly what he wanted to do and was willing to make the sacrifice to do it. And he realized the cost.

He was so proud to be there doing what he was doing. Not just the war part ... but the Marines and all the military people that are there have restored power, built schools, built hospitals and they have running water. Those are the things that nobody talks about and that nobody hears about.

The chains of military despotism once fastened upon a nation, ages might pass away before they could be shaken off.

The aim of military training is not just to prepare men for battle, but to make them long for it.

Only a foolish woman would allow her man to earn his living as a moving target.
