Words of wisdom from four-star general David M. Shoup, hero of Tarawa, Medal of Honor winner and Commandant of the Marine Corps. He said this in 1966 as the war in Vietnam was building; I feel certain he'd have said it about Iraq, and probably Afghanistan:
| “ | I believe if we had, and would, keep our dirty, bloody, dollar-crooked fingers out of the business of these nations so full of depressed, exploited people, they will arrive at a solution of their own. That they design and want. That they fight and work for... and not the American style, which they don't want. Not one crammed down their throats by the Americans. | ” |
