"This is a political war and it calls for discrimination in killing. The best weapon for killing would be a knife, but I'm afraid we can't do it that way. The worst is an airplane. The next worst is artillery. Barring a knife, the best is a rifle — you know who you're killing."
 
--John Paul Vann

"We don't have 12 years experience in this country. We have one year's experience 12 times."
--LTC John Paul Vann
