4:31 pm
so many interceptors and these would be in orbit now people have an idea that things are stationary in orbit they're not in low earth orbit they're moving very fast so they're not over any one region for very long the consequence of that is that you need many many many interceptors and for instance a whole you can create a hole in the defenses by just shooting a prior missile to get the local interceptors to intercept that one and then for the future you have a big hole in your defense that you can. that you can use to send a missile through so scientists. why are they spending money on it they're studying the concept they're not actually building it as far as i know at the moment but it's definitely proven proven to be feasible idea and it's not just the american physical society various officers technical officers of air force u.s. air force have also looked into it and shown that it's overly expensive and it's
4:32 pm
very easy to defeat again. exactly how in the russian capital you know main news stories this hour activists growing more vocal in their opposition to u.s. military sites in northern england and. saying they have a right to know what's going on. the shows are up in denmark as the country passes strict border controls which have already caused anger from its european neighbors who say it might breach agreements on the visa free travel. they chose on the father of the claims that the u.a.e. libyan. as gadhafi loyalists say they've intercepted. shipments of belgian made
4:33 pm
weapons intended for rebels. if you get you can follow the stories on facebook and twitter next now the second part of our special report on a former war correspondent who's taken a walk of almost a thousand kilometers and a bit to talk people out of conflicts and after that i'll be back with all my new stories. something you can't have one without the other one and that's the same way if you're going to support the troops you got to support the war or if you don't support it they keep your mouth shut about it. don't beat it out get get be quiet if you can't. support it like it be quiet and a message from the president of the united states george w. bush good morning the generals are trying to divide america and break our will and we must not go in other just succeed we will defeat the jurors every where they make your skin and we will leave
4:34 pm
a more hopeful world for our children and our grandchildren our goal in iraq it's clear unchanging our goal is victory. veterans for peace in chapter one eighteen a salt lake city and peace justice organization we basically. work with all soldiers and all veterans to bring about peace some of us all even actually march with him all the way today. and into the one guy who has it down or protested he was is an army ranger. it started out pretty tense and actually if you guys are going to discuss with you but this is a us ranger me i'm telling. you i got the same right to say look i mean i think. i'm going to be. so stupid and go to different conflicts. but he kept walking that's to his credit so. you're not for starting and running your morning system and. yeah i think there's
4:35 pm
a middle ground. and i think we agree on everything i say i think you get everything up until the point of what will bring stability. and i believe that stability with us with. the small difference of opinion that's marshall himself yeah i have i have a lot in common with them i support a lot of his views but the people they had an opportunity to encounter in the protest bush lied kids died yada yada yada michael moore you know fahrenheit nine eleven it's things like that they're completely to the left and jaded but more so i find him very you know very charming intelligence clean cut individual. no animosity for him you know and eventually yes i think if this were a perfect world we would be occupying iraq oh there was another counter protester bringing up the total counter protesters to three and here's a young kid he had to hear to camouflage on but i don't think he was in the military those people demonstrating that shit their disgrace to our country once
4:36 pm
again certain for that kind of people need to get out of here and go live with the tears for all i care. because i said. what are they doing to people to troops that are just going home where they don't know that they're saying you know what you guys what you're doing is bad when all we're doing out there is trying to go out there and make a difference trying to help trying to trying to make so we can live here trying to make so people don't come here and kill innocent people while buildings are trying to do. that still like there's a spin on the same you know. just this is. i'm not i've never actually thought about the subject before so i can't say really have an opinion. or be neutral stance. what we do is american people we just go back our business like nothing. i am now i don't have an opinion because i don't. listen to the news so i don't know anything about iraqi except that we're over
4:37 pm
there yeah but you know like it might be out there apathy is the most. you can start a discussion or debate with someone that it was you know sort of to be very draining because in doing this big protest you're sacrificing all this time and energy and. other things with and stuff people might even really. think a lot of people how they can actually like people. in the modern medicine coffee. in the car it back turned on the radio an attack outside of baghdad another choppers down pipes will be managed in the center of the town. evening news comes on the t.v. . two marines are killed i plan to die indeed they attack.
4:38 pm
both good old and not being. two marines are killed two families left to greet. many more die overseas. in a war let me start with the brain and the brain just coming up names. way to use d.n.a. to prove a grade. we're used to yank cool way is to create days big twelve feet into the second week of walking. through. the wood from above and gone to get a return job gone to build a wall with. their firm but from the east there. was even a korean war the only solar cookies for my mom and my sister. will
4:39 pm
go wrong to the local it's all the rubble for you that under your good ole oh so we go a bad business day by day. giving little through a war and so far away from the clergy to his side from students to stand for kids become soldiers mock proud. men and women to die overseas. to know all that was started. in the brain and the brain just coming. ways da mayor. mayor diaz. the rain. may be a way to raise. the
4:40 pm
walk but be over right there. i don't know if you yesterday was to the low on the way this morning so did the ultrasound today. are smoking and praying that would. eliminate cancer of the sisters. orders. but it wasn't so good it's probably fair to a. very start to this and she's korean would come from one. of them from. those i should be there those are four year. they need to be with us. sir as important as this war since the morning.
4:41 pm
i knew he wanted to quit because he wanted to be a good dad and he wanted to be there but i also knew that this walk is why he was a good dad she said well. he'd walk in to get a second and keep walking toward final four this coming got up the next day and walk. thinking that maybe that would be the luster the good of the walk i was really happy that he could get out and he could keep walking even though he was scared to death and and devastated with the news.
4:42 pm
i was charged twelve felony counts for a possible total sense of one hundred fifteen years so with good behavior i'd be getting out of two thousand and eight. when i realized that the war was wrong and always get home which i realized when i read the earliest sections that kind of the papers i filtered what i could do was expose twenty three years of lies on some pretty good treatments and that it might help to solution people for war but expected there with seven thousand top secret pagers they would have to use the full extent of the law against me and that there would be basically a life sentence. that's what nixon had in mind to put i just thought it might help that i was ready to go to prison if it might help i told him again blacklisted for the rest of your life it will be on your record right. and. at that point he said
4:43 pm
well if that's the case then it will be that i'll be fitting and president before i ran out if i did not order my hands are illegal is just i just want to give people in the military at least cosmetic the body a lot and have to evaluate what you're being told us to do. as the guardsman wielder goes around and even the man us we didn't think they were loaded we're going to be loaded gun here on campus this is it was a college joint right why would they have loaded guns to the guardsmen on the end of the line and decided to not fire in the direction everybody else was but to turn ninety degrees and pick me off while i was running for cover and the bullet hit me in the abdomen just below my belt and it knocked me through the ear into the groaned like someone swinging a sledge hammer like a baseball bat and hitting you like a cartoon image were flew in the air and landed on the ground i was shot a second time by a guardsman who testified in court that he knew had already been shot once and when
4:44 pm
they asked him so why did you shoot him he said well everyone else was shooting him . do you really think you could happen again yes i think we're doing it and i think it's just waiting to happen because it's been a long time so they can pull this stunt again and i believe it was a stunt i believe this was planned to stop protesting and the more that protest in this current now the more i look for it to happen and today just skiers run kobe. is my hero and his example really got me into all of this. i remember that he said once that there was a palpable turning point when public opinion really shifted against the war and it marked the beginning of the end of the vietnam war and he said that was kent state watched until he came to this part and i could have discussed a little bit more. border and you miles but i really wanted to walk through zion
4:45 pm
national park the native americans who live there considered but it's. even the one that made news when they came to the first explorers said surely this is god's first home this mistake. you know in a used car i spent nearly every summer a minute. or so i couldn't walk you through for. this ticket but. everything started to change a lot of people showed up. the weather got but he's still the bill if it was a good cancer or not but there was some reasonable doubt. or some reasonable hope that she too her parents were. really sort of that. you could make a difference this was worth so i think i just like the idea of no more bombs no more
4:46 pm
screaming no more care no more deaths from like bombs in the nuclear warfare nuclear north korea nuclear warfare my dad always gets around that nukes to me here . she seems good when she was running better than more got to tell our team. during the walk we kept getting e-mails from people that said you know i wish i could be there and i really care is there any is there anything i can do and sal and my sister in law got the idea that we have balloons they're representing everybody that wanted to be there and. from all over the world from europe from the middle east from australia from china but we've got hundreds and hundreds of names and so much support for setting out of the shoes for me just tears that are real reality for me there's certainly
4:47 pm
a lot of emotion that goes through when you start reading names looking at names and beliefs and wonder in the story. why not sign up thank you so much for coming out. and who are so great for i wonder for paper that can such a calculus rock. so great that the fate of the black family had something. i'm. never ever ever ever see this kind of. government ever heard a woman close so no they will never have a grandchild to come close to they will never enjoy all of the great things start next year provided. for us to be here in a matter of the first day i said you know marcia really had. the lesson that we wanted to be we had to be thank you for the privilege i'm lucky to get marshall for reminding us of our duty.
4:48 pm
as a near the border i was excited i mean this is just like in the film walk in did it . despite all the challenges. nobody believed the utah would support peace this much and it has sold all those people back in washington d.c. with all the hearts and warmongers know that utah supports peace. that is the wonderful thing. because they got caught up in the victory. right now because like a wonderful victory made a five hundred miles and it's thanks to all you into my family and all the wonderful people who helped me to dogs walked almost every inch of it with me. i've never been prouder to be utah and then right now so wonderful thing.
4:49 pm
but it. is very much tempered by the sobering thought that the war was still going . anyone wearing a baseball cap if you take it off and place it over your left shoulder if you want to is not mandatory and anyone who wants to salute you can slow and keep the cap until taps is completely played and then you can put it back on any questions. thank you. joe don't throw buttons for peace walk with me and comforted him but he couldn't for both of them if they did that showed on the field of a new tough for us we're going to go california for the. today is veterans day and i would just like to thank. all of those that have served
4:50 pm
and all that are serving some of those the honor are represented by don'ts my group conference there. that's how my son came home this is a picture of him as he turned twenty one. it was his last birthday. today and i asked you all to help me carry my grief. because it's very hard to carry myself. and if we were to grieve as a nation. i think that this will help and seal as a nation so one is the truth today. we honor on the family thank you. martin luther king said a time comes when silence is betrayal a time comes like the time we're in right now at this moment. when anything other
4:51 pm
then raise your voice opposition to this. is a betrayal of this country that we the so don't take me to one side. i want you to meet wrong kovac. and. i had no idea and also there's front kuharich right in front of me you just have this or someone who spent his life doing good things and i think there is no greater right here than to be part of the peace process right now involved in bringing an end to this forest children's hospital healing mr nation and committing ourselves to never allow what happened during the iraq war in vietnam to never happen again i told him that i'd seen born in the fourth of july in iraq and it really made him happy to write you one of the cornerstone you'll remember what i knew i had to write so yeah and i'm seriously at that point really felt like the whole journey to come full circle
4:52 pm
. that you're sitting in iraq. didn't want you for the fourth of july about roag prove it. and see how he dealt with the ghosts of war but protesting that he just hit with such force of that's exactly what i needed to do. and so following his example. because it's only. it's only reasonable that i do than to him as a vietnam veteran who's been in this real care for almost fourteen years it's an honor to pull you my family and my friends and so forth it's a. good life you know on. that. i'm driving down right now to go turn in all my equipment and so i can get out of the army the army offered me a twenty thousand dollars reenlistment bonus in iraq so there's been one lump sum
4:53 pm
tax-free twenty thousand dollars after iraq and you how my loyalties can be abused and so while i still feel that my service is honorable and still for other people service is honorable i. could not realist no matter how much money they offered me the shift in numbers that we've seen recently says that it like the rest of the country are starting to grow tired of course starting to question the war and starting to question bush's leadership of the war and it happened especially almost coinciding with marshall's watch and i don't i don't know how many utahns arsehole himself swayed to the other side it certainly wasn't just the walk but there were tons of other people doing things there's military families speak out in very active in salt lake there's rocky anderson and the norwalk is part of that so it feels really good.
4:54 pm
to see. the children. and. i have to call attention to that dark angel in their midst and you have to be prepared to accept the wrath of the governments force and as long as you're willing to do that and you do it you do everything you possibly can you give them your body you know and then you do it nonviolent they do it lovingly hell i even try to do it with a sense of humor you know it's no big deal searching. nothing is going to change until a guy's coming home and except the back as soon as guys come home and say you know don't count me on the back because things got change we fix this things will change in a different scrutiny. whether it was trying to change things or not i just had to do
4:55 pm
it i got to do it. not just me i think it's maybe it's like spitting in the ocean to know if it's yes you do it you care and you have to make your own stay . it's from your own heart. and i still my ankle and i'm down has made that oppressed she breezily cheese a sickness in store this time. push will bring in our brothers sisters home fight for peace march for peace stand for peace and leave. to play a game from. it is a time of hope our time to believe that peace can come that we can and just for that we can change the priorities of our country that we can move in a new and dynamic direction that we can make this an america that we can all be proud of that the sacrifice of our young men and women in iraq
4:56 pm
a must not be undone by. the only regret. is that i didn't do it correctly i mean. the sooner the twentieth there the walk. and i. got to finish up i hope it's some good idea i didn't know what to expect when i got involved in the piece we're standing here for peace to it so it really renewed my faith in people and humanity and it's really reinforced my patriotism activists have a lot of different reasons for getting involved but in the end it all comes down to this it comes down to the hope that what you're doing and make the world a better place and we could maybe even save a life. because. if what we're doing could save one person's life and that justifies all the embarrassment all the sacrifice all the pains of public protest.
4:57 pm
to children. dying it's all worth it. in that's the whole point it's the sincere hope and conviction that nobody else has to do. are you going to do a day. like it so i can step back from iraq about three months ago. and i was going with my food for peace part of state utah. when they mean blood to come to the nation's capital of suicide like that for me really does look like her same thing same.
