"War is a racket."
"I spent 33 years and four months in active service as a member of our country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from second lieutenant to major general. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the bankers."
