"What a great man. There are so many people today walking around alive because of him, not only in Vietnam, but people who kept their units under control under other circumstances because they had heard his story. We may never know just how many lives he saved."
-- Col. Tom Kolditz, head of the Army academy's behavioral sciences and leadership department

"You can't imagine what courage it took to do what he did."
-- Seymour Hersh, journalist who "broke" the My Lai massacre story.
