Vietnam Quotes

The only important lesson from the Vietnam War is this: Democrats lose wars Picture Quote #1

Vietnam, really more accurately, Laos, was almost after Berlin the top problem at the beginning of the Kennedy Administration in 61, foreign problem Picture Quote #1

I messed up on the Vietnam Special, because I gave it to civilians? Only military men can handle that Picture Quote #1

If you look at China - and frankly, Vietnam now is doing a big number, and you look at Japan and India and Mexico - Mexico’s killing us at the border and they’re killing us with trade Picture Quote #1

I’m old and crazy, but I still give a damn. And I still think the boys got screwed over in Vietnam Picture Quote #1

[Madame Nhu was] the Sandra Dee of South Vietnam. If I were cast on a desert island with her, I would quickly make friends with the natives Picture Quote #1

I saw the Vietnam Veterans Memorial not as an object placed into the earth but as a cut in the earth that has then been polished, like a geode. Interest in the land and concern about how we are polluting the air and water of the planet are what make me want to travel back in geologic time-to witness the shaping of the earth before man Picture Quote #1

And I think that it’s - the military has actually made improvements, so people are considering post-traumatic stress disorder as, at the least, a possible psychological problem. You know, when I was in Vietnam, it was just considered malingering. And we’re making progress Picture Quote #1

Vietnam was the first time that Americans of different races had to depend on each other. In the Second World War, they were segregated; it was in Vietnam that American integration happened in the military - and it wasn’t easy Picture Quote #1

Anyone graduating from medical school in 1966 had first to fulfill military service before launching a career. Fiercely opposed to the Vietnam War, I sought to avoid it through an assignment to the Public Health Service Picture Quote #1

Have you folks been following the controversy with John Kerry and his service in Vietnam and the Swift Boat campaign? It all took place in Vietnam and now it just won’t go away. I was thinking about this - if John Kerry had just ducked the war like everybody else he wouldn’t have this trouble Picture Quote #1

The White House begun airing their TV commercials to re-elect the president, and the John Kerry campaign is condemning his use of 9/11 in the ads. He said, it is unconscionable to use the tragic memory of a war in order to get elected, unless of course, it’s the Vietnam War Picture Quote #1

During the Democratic presidential debate Howard Dean started off by apologizing to the crowd for having a cold. Then John Kerry apologized for once having a cold while serving his country in Vietnam Picture Quote #1

Fiction is a very powerful tool for teaching history. The Philippines was the first Iraq, the first Vietnam, the first Afghanistan, in the sense that it was the United States initial or baptismal experience in nation-building Picture Quote #1

For the past several years, I’ve been harboring a fantasy, a last political crusade for the baby-boom generation. We, who started on the path of righteousness, marching for civil rights and against the war in Vietnam, need to find an appropriately high-minded approach to life’s exit ramp Picture Quote #1

America does not like losers. Look how we treated those soldiers who came back from Vietnam. Because they lost. America likes winners Picture Quote #1

The New York Times is reporting that back in the 60s, presidential candidate Howard Dean used a letter from a doctor about a back condition to keep himself out of the draft in Vietnam and then spent 10 months skiing. Well it sounds like he’s done the impossible. He actually made Bill Clinton and George Bush look like war heroes Picture Quote #1

Is it me or is Bush going everywhere Kerry goes? So far in the past week, President Bush has followed John Kerry to Davenport, Iowa; New Mexico; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; and he follows him to Portland, Oregon. The only place he never followed John Kerry was Vietnam Picture Quote #1

President Bush’s campaign is now attacking John Kerry for throwing away some of his medals to protest the Vietnam War. Bush did not have any medals to throw away, but in his defense he did have all his services records thrown out Picture Quote #1

President Bush is not fazed by other candidates’ war records. He said, I may have not fought in Vietnam, but I created one Picture Quote #1

What really happened in Vietnam was- all these things are away games for the American military. We’re not on our home turf, which means to succeed there has to be a partner. And the definition of partnership is someone willing to risk their lives in their home area to prevail because they think it’s necessary to build a decent life and a better life for their people Picture Quote #1

I fought as an infantry Marine on one of the Vietnam War’s harshest battlefields. After leaving the Marine Corps, I studied law and found a fulfilling career as an author and journalist. But again and again, I came back to the personal fulfillment that can only come from public service Picture Quote #1
