William Westmoreland
  • When I took command in Vietnam, I gave great emphasis to food and medical care - and to the mail.

  • The military don't start wars. Politicians start wars.

  • 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.

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

  • War is fear cloaked in courage.
