I believe that when you know something`s going wrong, you make it right. That`s what I learned in Vietnam. When I came back from that war I saw that it was wrong. Some people don`t like the fact that I stood up to say no, but I did
Senator John Kerry
John Kerry was a thorn in our flesh. He was very articulate, a credible leader of the opposition. He forced us to create a counterfoil. We found a vet named John O’Neill and formed a group called Vietnam Veterans for a Just Peace. We had O’Neill meet ...
Charles W. Colson
I deplore this kind of politics. I think the ad is dishonest and dishonorable. As it is, none of these individuals served on the boat (Kerry) commanded. Many of his crew have testified to his courage under fire. I think John Kerry served honorably in Viet...
John McCain
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.
William Westmoreland
The only way to get 520,000 men home - men who had been practically sneaked into Vietnam in the first place - was to make the decision to mine Haiphong Harbor. President [Richard Nixon] had the courage to make that decision, and when the other side starte...
John Wayne
I wanted to do a tour like I did during the Vietnam War, a tour of the country. But then Cindy Sheehan filled in the gap, and she is better at this than I am. I carry too much baggage.
Jane Fonda
(2004 quote) I`ve spent most of my free time the past 10 years traveling in Southeast Asia. It started with a trip to Vietnam, because we were told it could be a wonderful place to visit. I loved it and have been to Cambodia, China, Malaysia and Bali. Now...
Jude Law
I thought it was a helluva thriller. JFK`s murder marked the end of a dream, the end of a concept of idealism that I associate with my youth. Race war, Vietnam, Watergate. If JFK had lived, the combat situation in Vietnam would never have occurred.
Oliver Stone
I thought it was a helluva thriller. JFK`s murder marked the end of a dream, the end of a concept of idealism that I associate with my youth. Race war, Vietnam, Watergate. If JFK had lived, the combat situation in Vietnam would never have occurred.
Oliver Stone
I think about my father being called `boy`, my uncle being called `boy`, my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called `boy`. So I questioned myself: `What does a black man have to do before he`s given the respect as a man?` So when I was 18 years...
Mr. T
I`m a very brave person. I can go to North Vietnam, I can challenge my government, but I can`t challenge the man I`m with if means I`m going to end up alone.
Jane Fonda
(When asked if his Vietnam experiences influence his makeup effects): "I get asked that question a lot. I did see a lot of first hand anatomically correct gore and I think the most important part of that was if we create a dead body or situation there`s a...
Tom Savini
The image of Jane Fonda, Barbarella, Henry Fonda`s daughter ... sitting on an enemy aircraft gun (in North Vietnam) was a betrayal...The largest lapse of judgment that I can even imagine.
Jane Fonda
I couldn`t be happier that President [George W. Bush] has stood up for having served in the National Guard, because I can finally put an end to all those who questioned my motives for enlisting in the Army Reserve at the height of the Vietnam War.
Larry David
My generation couldn`t stand me and I couldn`t stand them. In high school I was to the right of being straight. I believed in the work ethic, making money, and they all had this beef with the nation. Vietnam disappointed me because we didn`t win.
Kurt Russell
I had a very strong feeling about the Vietnam War, and I had a strong feeling about participating in it. The military draft was in place, I was summoned for a physical exam, and I was either going to be classified as fit for military service or make my ob...
Harrison Ford
I hate them! I absolutely hate them! Whether right or wrong, their country was at war and their country asked them to serve, and they refused and ran away. Cowards, that`s what they were. - On teenagers who dodged the draft during the Vietnam War
Jimmy Stewart
[on comparisons between the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, Tipp City, OH, April 19, 2007] There are some similarities, of course-death is terrible.
George W. Bush
After being rejected by the Vietnam draft the first time, because he failed the `intelligence` portion, Casius said, "I never said I was the smartest, I said I was the greatest".
Muhammad Ali
Your generation and mine have had very little real experience; we`ve been severed from the direct experience of war by some very good things. By the end of the draft, and by the defeat in Vietnam.
Amanda Uhry
You don`t attack the grunts of Vietnam; you blame the theory behind the war. Nobody who fought in that war was at fault. It was the war itself that was at fault. It`s the same thing with psychotherapy.
James Hillman
I believe that when you know something`s going wrong, you make it right. That`s what I learned in Vietnam. When I came back from that war I saw that it was wrong. Some people don`t like the fact that I stood up to say no, but I did
