"The military has always been a very introspective organization...One of the reasons why the army is so progressive is its always examining itself. The army is always looking for better ways to do its job...The army led America in integration...The army recognized early on that, you know, black people are pretty much the same as white people; they just tend to be a little bit darker. They make just as good soldiers...These are our kids...They're good kids...Joining the army or the Marine Corps does not make you into a crypto-alcoholic Nazi, it makes you into a child of America who is doing a job for his country...They're our kids."
