"I think that this is great. Those of us who made it through have had the opportunity to live through a Golden Age for this country. I am thankful to have been a part of that for the last 60 years. But we weren't the only ones fighting. I owe my being here to the country, to the great industry of our country that gave me the planes I was flying over there."

"That's the difference. When we went to war, the whole country went to war. We have that same situation going on now, where it's life or death. No one was trying to find out who was at fault for Pearl Harbor, or the Batan Death March, we just picked up what we had and went forward to win the war. The whole country went to war together, and that's what you have to do. It has to be the whole country. No one was looking back to find the flaws or lay blame, we just looked forward and we would worry about that after we won the war. That's what we need to do now."

I'd like to hire these guys to talk to the Liberals. Thanks. Maybe you don't realize what you are doing, but your constant crying about how our country is evil and our war is unjust.. why don't you just go over there and shoot the soldiers in the head yourself? You are destroying their morale. This is what happened in Vietnam. The Liberals kept spewing their viral anti-American shit and it began infecting the troops. We are there now. You can't change that by bitching about it at every turn. So you can support your troops or just fly over and fight for al-Sadr's fucking militia.

This country is shit now. I apologize for what my generation - and what my parents' generation - did to it. I apologize every single day.

There were people who were against going to war in both world wars, but world war 2 was unlike any other war. how can you even compare todays conflicts to world war 2, They arent even similar. Besides, if they had TV and the amount of coverage we had today back then, im sure you would have had alot more protesting and 'anti-americans' in our countrys history.
