He read many books from different authors on how the Army Generals interfered with the Marine Corps, while their officers were trying to win battles in World War I, World War II and Korea. He quoted from books such as DEVIL DOGS AT BELLEAU WOOD, BRUTE, FOR COUNTRY AND CORPS, WITH THE OLD BREED, CORAL AND BRASS AND THE TRIAL OF GENERALS. He stated, Presidents, Army Generals, the Army dominated Battle Monument Commission, Navy Admirals, The Navy Bureau of Ships and Congress should apologize for their part in disrespecting the Marine Corps.
