“I hate it when they say, “He gave his life for his country.” Nobody gives their life for anything. We steal the lives of these kids. We take it away from them. They don’t die for the honor and glory of their country. We kill them.”
– Admiral Gene LaRocque
(1918- ) Retired rear admiral of the United States Navy, founded the Center for Defense Information
