military guy mind
I don't mind being called tough, since I find in this racket it's the tough guys who lead the survivors.

peace war fighting
I don't want to hear of any of you men getting into any fights with the British. But if you do, you'd better not get whipped.
years chinese situation
Sometime in the future - 25, 50, 75 years hence - what will the situation be like then? By that time the Chinese will have the capability of delivery too.
attitude war mean
I'd like to see a more aggressive attitude on the part of the United States. That doesn't mean launching an immediate preventive war...
strong war thinking
You [President Kennedy] have made some pretty strong statements about their being defensive and that we would take action against offensive weapons. I think that a blockade and political talk would be considered by a lot of our friends and neutrals as being a pretty weak response to this [the Cuban missile crisis]. And I'm sure a lot of our own citizens would feel that way too. In other words, you're in a pretty bad fix at the present time.
military war thinking
I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal.... Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you're not a good soldier.
military age vietnam
We're going to bomb them back into the stone Age.
horny age would-be
My solution to the problem would be to tell the North Vietnamese Communists frankly that they've got to drawn in their horns and stop their aggression or we're going to bomb them into the stone age.
russia mind bombs
Native annalists may look sadly back from the future on that period when we had the atomic bomb and the Russians didn't. Or when the Russians had aquired (through connivance and treachery of Westerns with warped minds) the atomic bomb - and yet still didn't have any stockpile of the weapons. That was the era when we might have destroyed Russia completely and not even skinned our elbows doing it.
self smoking wicked
Don't like to do anything half-heartedly, even if it is a wicked and self-destructive avocation like smoking cigars
time unfortunate incompetent
I don't have time to distinguish between the unfortunate and the incompetent.
fighting people enough
You've got to kill people, and when you've killed enough they stop fighting.
bystanders killing innocent
There are no innocent civilians, so it doesn't bother me so much to be killing innocent bystanders.
