On the recordApril 2, 2003
I think it shows the goodness of the American military. It is one thing to be great. We have a great American military who can do things that no other military in the world can do, the overwhelming power. But we also have a very good American military. And sometimes I think it is more important to be good than to be great. This is an e-mail that was forwarded to me by a master gunnery sergeant. And master gunnery sergeants are not necessarily known for their soft-heartedness, although I think that is actually a myth. I think some of them are the softest-hearted guys. They are kind of like chocolate-covered marshmallows, tough on the outside but marshmallows on the inside. It says, few things move me to get misty but there are a few, and this one did. He saw this and described it this morning on CNN.
