I flew a full string of 35 combat missions over some of the most heavily defended targets in Europe. We were hitting Hitler's oil refineries, his tank factories, his aircraft factories, his railway yards. Those were our prime targets.

I seek the presidency because I believe deeply in the American promise and can no longer accept the diminishing of that promise.

George McGovern 154 quotes

The Establishment center... has led us into the stupidest and cruelest war in all history. That war is a moral and political disaster - a terrible cancer eating away at the soul of our nation.

George McGovern 154 quotes

It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it.

George McGovern 154 quotes

I thought the Vietnam war was...

I thought the Vietnam war was an utter, unmitigated disaster, so it was very hard for me to say anything good about it.

George McGovern 154 quotes

I was tired. I hadn't slept e...

I was tired. I hadn't slept eight hours in two, three years. I lived on four, five hours of sleep. You can do it during a campaign because thousands are screaming for you. You're getting adrenaline shots each day. Then the campaign ends, and there are no more shots.

George McGovern 154 quotes

Every once in a while, I run into somebody who tells me that she met her husband in my campaign or a husband who says, I met my wife. I have to tell you, I caused a few divorces too.

There is a strong tendency in the United States to rally round the flag and their troops, no matter how mistaken the war.

George McGovern 154 quotes

The whole campaign was a tragic case of mistaken identity.

For 50 years, the Republicans have been accusing the Democrats of being soft on national security.

I hope I live long enough to see every hungry school child in the world being fed under the so-called McGovern-Dole program.

From secrecy and deception in high places, come home, America. From military spending so wasteful that it weakens our nation, come home, America.

George McGovern 154 quotes

When you start one of these programs, school lunch programs, in a country that heretofore had nothing of that kind, immediately school enrollment jumps dramatically. Girls and boys get to the classroom with the promise of a good meal once a day.

I did frequently refer to my war record in World War II, but not in any flamboyant way.

I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.

No man should advocate a course in private that he's ashamed to admit in public.

I didn't used to care about living a long time. Not that I wasn't enjoying life, but I never sat around asking how I'd get to be 100, you know. But now I want to live long enough to see every school child in the world getting a good, nutritious lunch every day.

George McGovern 154 quotes

It is a modern tragedy that one of the Soviet Union's most intelligent and realistic leaders has served and died during the administration of the most ill-informed and dangerous man ever to occupy the White House.

This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.

George McGovern 154 quotes

I don't think the American pe...

I don't think the American people had a clear picture of either Nixon or me. I think they thought that Nixon was a strong, decisive, tough-minded guy and that I was an idealist and antiwar guy who might not attach enough significance to the security of the country. The truth is, I was the guy with the war record, and my opposition to Vietnam was because I was interested in the nation's well-being.
