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.

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 Vietnam.

I defended him [John McCain] in those hearings when some stupid-ass right-wing idiot accused him of being the Manchurian Candidate, that somehow the Vietnamese had brainwashed him.

It's incredible that people would behave like that, absolutely stunning.

This time you're going to bring in people who were educated in Vietnam and have much wider experience abroad than any of their predecessors. They will have been more involved in developing the country than trying to get rid of foreigners or trying to recover from the ravages of war.

This is not your father's B-52. This is not the Vietnam B-52,.. This thing has been modified over the last 29 years to the point where now the bombs that are dropped from the B-52, because of the global positioning satellite capability, (they) are as accurate as the ones off the B-1 (bomber).

Perhaps because, as an American veteran in the book] 'The Good War': An Oral History of World War II,.. It was the last time that most Americans thought they were innocent and good, without qualifications.

My colleague, Chuck, said -- I know it sounds like such an exaggeration -- but we felt like we were on the last helicopters out of Saigon at the collapse of the Vietnam War. It had that kind of feel.
