I was stationed at a marine recruit depot in San Diego from 1965 to 1967.

In WWI, WWII and the Korean War, our Generals were told to take our soldiers into battle and win the war. They made the decisions.

I don't have any respect at all for the scum-bags who went to Canada to avoid the draft or to avoid doing their fair share.

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.

The new privates arrive and it's immediate jaw-flexing, yelling, screaming, jumping up and down intimidation for the first week. The reason for that is to put the private in the capable palm of the drill instructors' hand.

Back in those days intimidation was the greatest tool the drill instructor had. Without that tool, he would not have had control.

Drill instructors worked seven days a week, fifteen to seventeen hours a day in many cases, with no time off in between platoons.

Everybody respects the Vietnam Veterans of America.

That's all I cared about too, was getting it right.

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

According to Gustav, the only reason drill instructors existed was to harass, punish and torture recruits. There was no rhyme nor reason.

I go the VA Hospital when I have a problem and the doctor jumps on me.

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 drill instructor must have total and complete control. Mindless obedience is what he's after.

There have been a lot of changes in recruit training in the past twenty years.

Kubrick's films have life - they just never die.

The best part about the movie, and everybody seems to rave about it, is the boot camp part.

If some of the soldiers didn't get welcomed with parades, wreathes, hugs and kisses, I guess they had a tendency to feel shunned. I was never shunned.

I talk at high schools. I go to children's hospitals. I try to stay as involved as I can with young people, because they are the ones that count.

Of all of the veterans I know personally, I don't know one that was ever shunned.
