My dad always had huge respect for the British Army. He always thought it was one of the best. And I think it changed his life - those seven years in that Army.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My parents were very pleased that I was in the army. The fact that I hated it somehow pleased them even more.
One of the most beautiful things about Britain, apart from the NHS and the free education, is the British Army.
Well British troops are superb in the field in terms of conflict.
The Army's always had a special place in my heart.
I respect the British a lot - their history, their past, their culture. I think it's beautiful, what they have with the monarchy.
My great uncle was in 'Dad's Army.' And I don't know if Americans will know that. It was a hugely popular show in England.
The experience of being in the Army changed my whole life; I never believed that an organization such as ours could ever go to war, leave alone win it. It was, as Yeats remarked of the Easter Rising, 'A terrible beauty.'
I joined the Army in 1965 and served with the 11th Hussars, which I loved. The regiment was so relaxed - a salute was more like a friendly wave.
My dad being an Army officer, I was just born to it. I was raised in a military manner, and it was a given that Army brats went to West Point, so I went to West Point in 1941. And being in the military has been my life.
I loved the Army as an institution and loathed every single thing it required me to do.
