I took Beetle home thinking that after the Korean War was over, I would have to take him out of the Army. I thought, well, what am I going to do with him?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Nicknamed 'Mad-Dog Mattis' by his men, he was a command warrior in the old George Patton mode. He wasn't an armchair general by any definition of that much-maligned term. If a Marine re-upped at a location where he was present, he would personally go to that Marine and thank him or her for rejoining.
'Beetlejuice' was a romp, man. 'Beetlejuice' was fun. I've never had so much fun in my life.
For Tim Burton's birthday I gave him a rainbow beetle. He loved it!
As a Korean War Veteran, I know too well the troubling nature of war. This is why I will always support a diplomatic answer before military intervention.
I don't wanna play this kind of cartoon character anymore.
When you have told anyone you have left him a legacy, the only decent thing to do is die at once.
Before Huey was 5, I could take him to work with me. Now, though, he has sports and lessons and friends, and it's not fair to remove him from his whole life.
I got called back into the Navy during the Korean War.
I have come to know Bugs so well that I no longer have to think about what he is doing in any situation.
Hardly had I left when we ran into the Korean war, doubled what I had asked for and doubled it again. I had told him I would stay in Government, be honored to, but not with the Air Force.
