America's trying to do the best for its veterans.

Everybody respects the Vietnam Veterans of America.

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.

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.

We had times in '66 and '67 when we would pick up a platoon of privates out of the receiving barracks the week before we even graduated the platoon that we were on!
