There's a lot of whiners in every crowd.
From R. Lee Ermey
The biggest problem was the politicians knew nothing about fighting a war.
Even though I disagree with many of the changes, when I see the privates graduate at the end of the day, when they walk off that drill field at the end of the ceremony, they are still fine privates; outstanding, well motivated privates.
There was a huge, tremendous amount of disabled veterans and the Veteran's Administration just wasn't geared up for it. I know for a fact that it's getting better and better.
When you try to find funding for a VVA function, it doesn't seem like it's any trouble at all. People come out of the woodwork with their money to help out because we went over and fought a war.
The best part about the movie, and everybody seems to rave about it, is the boot camp part.
It's my firm conviction that when Uncle Sam calls, by God we go, and we do the best that we can.
Back in the old Corp, we weren't training those privates to infiltrate into the peacetime Marine Corp. We were training those privates to go to Vietnam.
I'm never, like I say, I'm never happy, I'm never satisfied, it's never good enough.
I hate to hear 'Less is more.' It's a crock of crap.
