Gen. William Westmoreland : The Oriental doesn't put the same high price on life as does the Westerner. Life is plentiful, life is cheap in the Orient. And, eh, that's the philosophy of the Orient. Expresses it - life is not important.

Gen. William Westmoreland : I recall that I was in the New York area at the time and I stopped by to see General MacArthur, who I had known for several years. When he greeted me, he made quite a prophetic statement. He said, Westmoreland, I see you have a new job. He says, I hope you appreciate that this new assignment if filled with opportunities; but, fraught with hazards. And, in deed, this was a prophetic statement.
