People just don't know what civilian prisoners of war are.

I didn't equate a POW camp with a concentration camp.

Soldiering is a very important profession, is it not?

My father, unusually for a PoW, talked about his experiences, but he talked about them in a very limited way.

A kid in an abusive home has far fewer rights than any POW. There is no Geneva Convention for kids.

One doesn't become a soldier in a week - it takes training, study and discipline. There is no question that the finest Army in the world is found in the United States.

So the whole of war, when you look at it is probably run by professional soldiers, and the rest of them are just recruits, or people who are just forced to join the army.

I understand the military. I know the military.

Nothing matures a military force quicker than actual military operations.

In training camp, you know what each person is doing.
