When I was in the war I was lucky that I was in a plane and never saw the carnage close-up.

The battle for the mind of Ronald Reagan was like the trench warfare of World War I: never have so many fought so hard for such barren terrain.

When I was a youngster growing up in South Dakota we never referred to the national debt it was always referred to as the war debt because it stemmed from World War I.

We owe our World War II veterans - and all our veterans - a debt we can never fully repay.

There's no doubt that usually a president's public image is enhanced by going to war. That never did appeal to me.

War is never fatal but always lost. Always lost.

In the re-creation of combat situations and this is coming from a director who's never been in one being mindful of what these veterans have actually gone through you find that the biggest concern is that you don't look at war as a geopolitical endeavor.

No more war! Never again war! If you wish to be brothers drop your weapons.

War never takes a wicked man by chance the good man always.

War is never a solution it is an aggravation.
