We had a military and political leadership at that period which was genuinely deluded.

These men were wrongfully rejected, the veterans. The fighting man should never have been blamed for Vietnam.

The unthinkable occurred: two communist countries went to war with each other.

We thought that whatever we wanted to do was right and good, simply because we were Americans, and we would succeed at it because we were Americans.

I went to Vietnam; it was my first assignment as a reporter for the UPI, and I never could get away from the war.

Just because you put higher-octane gasoline in your car doesn't mean you can break the speed limit. The speed limit's still 65.

I never got away from the war. Not because I was obsessed with it in those years, but because it was the event of my generation and I started out covering it so I stayed with it.

At least I'm at peace with myself. I have done my best to write a book about what really happened there and why it happened and it's done, it's published. I won't write another book on Vietnam.

Become great in God’s eyes so as to bring freedom to your people

There are demons within. And they're the deadliest kind.

All things by immortal power. Near of far, to each other linked are, that thou canst not stir a flower without troubling of a star.

I get inspired by my friends, and if a friend is a writer, that is even deeper.

I'm pouring my guts out so they can feel like your guts at the same time.
