Favorite Neil Sheehan Quotes

1. "Americans, particularly after World War II, tended to romanticize war because in World War II our cause was the cause of humanity, and our soldiers brought home glory and victory, and thank God that they did. But it led us to romanticize it to some extent." ~ Neil Sheehan
2. "I went to Vietnam; it was my first assignment as a reporter for the UPI, and I never could get away from the war." ~ Neil Sheehan
3. "These men were wrongfully rejected, the veterans. The fighting man should never have been blamed for Vietnam." ~ Neil Sheehan

6. "At least I'm at peace with myself. I have done my best to write a book about what really happened there and why it happened and it's done, it's published. I won't write another book on Vietnam." ~ Neil Sheehan
7. "We had a military and political leadership at that period which was genuinely deluded." ~ Neil Sheehan

9. "People talked to me in a way I think they would not have talked to somebody who hadn't shared the experience; they gave me their papers, they gave me their diaries. I found people constantly opening up to me. And I think they did because I had shared that experience with them." ~ Neil Sheehan
10. "We wanted to see this country win the war just as much as those advisors did. We felt we would help to do that by reporting the truth. And so there was the moral outrage over this general and the ambassador in Saigon who kept denying the truth we would see." ~ Neil Sheehan
