Napoleon was a
success, but of all the
centuries in this millennium,
the
twentieth
was the
best
for me and my
PM message.
in the
frozen trenches
of France I saw machine
guns let loose the dogs of
war with a howling that
would echo throughout
this century.
on a rain-
soaked Belgium countryside
I saw vehicles roll through mud
that would stop a charging
rhino in its tracks.
In fact, I saw the
World's Best Equipment
and I saw it being taken
care of by the
World's
Best Soldiers
.
So as I leave the
stage and let my son
take over, I give you this
advice for the next millennium:
Know
the
enemy
,
know
yourself
,
train
and
do
PM
-
-and in a hundred
battles you will
never
be defeated
.

"on the bleak hills of Korea
I saw rifles fire in cold that
would make polar bears pack
their bags and head south."
"in the tropical jungles of
Vietnam I saw generators
run
in heat and humidity
that would make a Florida
gator sweat."
"in the
deserts of
Kuwait I saw
helicopters
fly in
sand-filled
air that
would
choke a
camel."
