realities of war what if you decide to focus on the character or the characters and the humanity of your soldiers will was a very political thing i mean it has to be yes to be argued about. and there are dozens and dozens of great books that have come out in the past ten years that have gone over the more ality the politics the strategy of the two wars that we've been in i didn't really want to add to that i felt that the one thing that was dropping out of the of the national conversation we were having about these wars was the experience of the soldiers themselves i mean newspaper reporter you get a little bit of you know so and so from just out of illinois his father's does this and you know a little many bios of soldiers but you don't really get into what i came to think of as the emotional terrain of combat and what i realized in the fight was that i spent this little outpost was crippled in the korengal valley of eastern

afghanistan huge of out of combat very isolated place what i realize is that the guys were not fighting for flag and country and they were not you know they would have joined up for reasons those sorts of reasons but once they were there they were fighting for each other and it was a completely kind of fraternal arrangement that had very very little broad kind of like conceptual like motivations behind it you were asked about the death of some of them on the assassination of the some decline in what you thought that may mean to the future of afghanistan and to the u.s. soldiers there and according to what i've heard you say the men and women who are fighting are worse right now are starting to have a distant relationship with the event that triggered september eleventh and that you thought the more immediate concern that's what's going to happen on the ground in afghanistan because you say that most of the soldiers or maybe those that you were embedded with were maybe nine or ten years old when september eleventh occurred and i think that

a lot and whether he's alive or dead now that he's that matters to them i know i think it does matter to them but but it's using increasingly i mean you know i'm a new yorker and i'm right you know i was in my forty's and nine eleven was through the night on nine eleven remembering a very very painful memory you know someone who was nine years old and i live in. joyce normally you might not have an emotional. head that the that attack might not have a real emotional content like you would for an adult but i think they understand the importance of killing him and they understand the consequences of killing them killing them for themselves which is conceivably that they are in the us navy or do you think so i don't know but there's i'm sure this is the debate they're having out of these small outposts like are they going to be revenge attacks or are we in the stage or because he was the sort of kingpin and now it's all coming unglued for ok i mean i don't know no one knows what they're probably discussing that when you

were on and that is that these guys these soldiers in war with america from a partner and i want to express my condolences to you because i know that you did as frank and a problem have in our in time he was in libya right and how did that shift your focus on what you do and how involved you will be moving forward in these wars that are taking place so have rocks have been covering wars is the age of ninety three and thinking fair about risks in those twenty almost twenty years and jim's death really pretty much knocked me flat and. i think it made me realize i mean he's been dead a month today's been a month and it was an awful month and i maybe realize i provided killed. i'm going to be doing that what i feel right now to the people i'm closest to my wife my family my friends and i never quite thought about it that way and i think.

well ultimately the decision i came to was that there is going to continue working on going to continue covering trees that are in transition in conflict but i'm not going to continue going to shot it like about that distance according to what's being reported and actually very well known is that most journalists have retrenched many overseas errors how close then this is this isn't the decisions that are being made right you know by networks cable stations what do you think is going to happen when it comes to our foreign news correspondents in the future if a lot of networks are pulling back their lives you know it's actually a great opportunity for freelancers you know back in the ninety's eighty's and ninety's when the networks had tons of money in the newspapers that bureaus all over the world you had to be like certified you know like stamps you know as a reporter correspondent to have a job overseas and that the scraps that fell from the table went to the freelancers

well now those jobs are going up they give agencies can't fund them so now that workload is being undertaken by freelancers and so you know you go to libya you know this c.n.n. and whatever but. b.b.c. but probably eighty percent of the correspondents on the ground or freelancers who are working for news agencies they can't afford to pay his salary to a person who's there can't afford to pay the insurance and so you know young very courageous young and sometimes inexperienced reporters step in and that's how they learn that the next generation of reporters is more do you think the media itself us media is concerned with more i'm confident as it used to be because we see so many of these salacious stories somebody driven stories that. pick the headlines you know i think those stories of always going around i get most of my news from the newspaper hey i really don't care when you're some television so if you're referring to t.v.

yeah this sort you know this sort of celebrity scandal kind of stories that i think we've always been there and the reality is that nato intervened in libya because of the. just i believe it's a horrible images and information that was coming out of eastern libya as you could offer these forces assaulted the rebel positions in benghazi you know stuff. without the press there nothing would have happened and so somebody is paying attention i mean the truth of your stripes so. yeah i mean it's working it doesn't but i think every person in the country has to watch those images for them to have an effect and when you say that war is not going to go out well that's you know one of the reasons i decided to write a book that you thought war from the point of view of the u.s. soldiers but. i mean if that is enough to say war is not going to go away i mean maybe the u.s. or other countries that our craving wars launching wars or or for whatever reason

justified. try different approach because these wars are not going away but some would argue that they're not making circumstances any better afghanistan many experts call that you know a quagmire you know afghanistan is at the lowest level a civilian while it's only in death and thirty years the highest rate of economic growth in that whole part of asia is in afghanistan. five times the number of children are being schooled compared to ten years ago with under the taliban a third of them are girls according to you i'm so miserable people according to unicef afghanistan is the worst place in the world in war and oh no it absolutely can you measure would be like without international systems yeah it's bad it's the poorest country in the world but it's actually so much better than it was and i think people don't really realize that is we're going to go away it's been with us since the stone age so no it's not going to go away it is illness and you describe

it like these are afflictions of human society but we fight illness we fight crime . should we fight against launching the wars well you know you know there were i mean there were wars i mean more some could argue will were to rwanda we probably should have fought a war to end that war you know there was no military intervention in rwanda and a million people died so if someone goes to me and says are you against war i'm like yeah i guess war do something or want to send a force in there together to stop bosnia like your area sierra leone yeah of course everyone is against war so what do you do when there's a war you know what do you do when there's a war in liberia you sit here in the united states and watch it unfold in the hundred thousand people die or you send in. no the mill is a country's military and stop it and that's what happened and it ended the war so it's like yeah it would be war has to be dealt with but sometimes you have to deal with war with war based on what you saw in your experience do you think any of

these guys are question i read here. the soldiers didn't talk much about why we're in afghanistan i mean they are in afghanistan because they joined because they didn't want to guess that this was a drug. they were quite psyched to be in combat like they joined the army most of them. joined the army and they got into the once every thirty aboard a really kind of hard core unit precisely because they wanted to understand what combat was like and so they didn't debate why are we in afghanistan very much it's like well that eleven you know some thirty three thousand americans were killed by attacks coming out of afghanistan. and we had to we had to go to that country and fix it and find the people who killed america or american brothers and sisters and that's about the extent of their analysis fastener thanks very much for your time.

a disappointing fourth place finish at the recent world championships in slovakia but countries ice hockey federation voted to drop him and his assistant in the end because a five year reign if you don't lead russia to back to back world championship titles however the first right point was the final roster. at the winter olympics in vancouver russia did respond with runners up spot at the following world championships but poor showing in slovakia is the first time russia finished outside the podium under because i was coach and i'm truly out to get you know he's a front runner took over they can stick with us we listened to book often so many questions were asked on the development of hockey and while a team performed poorly at the world championship in slovakia the executive committee found their work on their own designs just like your emotions so it was decided not to renew book of these contracts and lowered the formula now rebels domination cyclists like dentist boasts about in battle and not upstaged the latest
