Bill Clinton actually said...

"Our armed services stand as one of history's great successes."

"I thank you for your service to the country, and I look forward to the remainder of my stay here."

"As Commander in Chief it's immensely reassuring to me to know that the United States is served by people of such high quality and such great dedication."

"The American people have placed their faith in you, and you have placed your life at the service of your country."
