they saw an opportunity here with the disgruntled army to use the army as a lever, as a threat against the states and the congress to force the states to give greater power to congress, to demand from congress their pay and the only way to get paid by the congress was if the states sent money and increased the power of the central government. and they began then to play this very dangerous game of using the army. what these men feared most was peace. peace. because they knew that if peace came, the army would dissolve. they had not heard anything from our commissioners in paris, from mr. adams, mr. jay, mr. franklin, and later mr. lawrence, they didn't communicate with philadelphia. but the rumors were about, these men in congress knew they had to act quickly, before peace came. governor morris wrote to his friend, quote, not much for the interest of america that peace should be made at present. think about that. not much in our interests that peace should be made. it is in our interest that the war be prolonged. meanwhile, up at the camp in newburg, the officers muttering and murmurin

the burmese hate us and their army will only attack us again. >> both sides blame the other for starting the fighting in june last year with the army using artillery against people armed with ak-47s and homemade weapon. the fighting intensified in december, about the time that hillary clinton are arrived in burma to encourage the government with its reform program. landmines cause the most casualties among the army of some 20,000 who are now struggling to hold out against the burmese army of half a million. over 100 soldiers have died, hundreds more have been injured, and no one civilian dead. this 31-year-old lost his leg in december and says he would like to get back to fighting. the doctor in charge of the military hospital says the soldiers get the best treatment available but that is not up to much. >> we lack of medicines, prosthetics, everything, really. they want me to get these men back to the front but considering the facilities that we have here, that is not realistic. >> the front lines are just a few hundred meters away from the hospital and where people are living. you can

the anti-malaria drug referred to by agent hudson is mefloquine network when was developed by the us army and is distributed by roche pharmaceuticals under the brand name larry and larry it was the focus of intense media scrutiny in two thousand and two after three soldiers from fort bragg killed their wives and ultimately committed suicide after returning from afghanistan all three were reported to have taken lariam while the ploy and two thousand and three there was also reports of an increase in suicide among troops taking their him in iraq. part of every military mission is giving the troops the protection they need including medicines to prevent disease including malaria which kills at least seven hundred thousand people around the world each year thousands of u.s. troops in iraq received one of these drugs a drug called lariam and it may have prevented many soldiers from getting sick the question tonight is whether or not soldiers were adequately warned about its rare side effects serious life changing side effects in collaboration with u.p.i. investigative reporter mark benjamin c.

all these decades within the us any commander of any army with an enemy says that they're ready just in case unexpected things happen not to think there's more to any of these israeli military statements than that. what about the presidential vote coming up by egypt's door staff threatening that gas deal with israel is likely just why public opinion there why do you think it's seeking to benefit. i think this is very absurd to think. anything egyptian israeli even this particular deal is even a minor detail in the broader scheme of things as far as the egyptian voter is concerned what matters if you're an egyptian today is who and whether anyone will supply you with jobs with housing with education with infrastructure all of which egypt so glaringly lacks until this deal or shall we centrally year ago egypt was universally celebrated as an emerging market with a promising future in the wake of what we're witnessing now one must suspect that egypt has turned itself from an emerging market to a high risk economy one where no foreign investor can assume with signed and written statement

colonel who fought in the gulf war and was referred to by some officials as the best fighter the us army has got mr mccracken thank you very much for joining me good to be here president obama has put forward an ultimatum for iran either make progress with negotiators or face consequences consequences meaning war some say a strike may happen within the next few months in your opinion how realistic is that should we expect the war in summer topical question right now in washington d.c. i think the answer provided to all that is no president obama is not remotely interested in waging war against iran so let's be clear about that no one at the top of the united states military establishment is interested in waging war against iran and the intelligence community has made it abundantly clear that iran is nowhere near the development of a nuclear warhead or the capacity to deliver one so we had those things up it's very very obvious that at least in the places that count at the white house the department of defense there is no interest in waging a war on iran and let me say something that's so

in syria may be on cards turkey is planning to appeal for the alliance of supports clashes between us army and the rebels recently spilled over into its territory that's according to the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton speaking at a ministerial gathering of the friends of syria group in paris but she also called on a global arms embargo and tougher of financial sanctions against a mascot and fails to abide by a cease fire the pentagon has also said it's ready to carry out military action in syria if need it involve the u.n. to sign a motion where the government on the terms of the international bodies monitoring group under the agreement the observers how the freedom to go anywhere in the country they were based research. the importance of their mission cannot be underlined enough. this is incredibly significant especially when we consider a lot of the other regional neighbors of syria behaving very poorly and provoking violent conflict in syria and suggesting that they want to arm the rebels and continue and actually increase the level of violence that's happening in syria so we h

a record number of american troops are on antidepressants according to the us army surgeon general more than one hundred ten thousand active duty service men and women are taking prescribed narcotics sedatives and anti-anxiety drugs that's an eight fold increase since two thousand and five michael brown served as a marine in iraq up until two thousand and six he started taking antidepressants after he returned from war when i was on. my. reader points. i mean i couldn't i would be able to make a decision on whether. the person that sharing the pipe and in front of me was pointing it at me or whether or not where. just very well. michael says while in iraq he could see about a third of his fellow servicemen taking psychotropic pills to get through the day. some suggest the current increase in suicides and homicides in the u.s. military is not a coincidence although the link with the use of drugs has been proven in court only in a handful of cases american soldier david lawrence was charged with murdering a detainee he was guarding in afghanistan his sentence was reduced to ten years it w

but they didn't just use rhetoric against coxey's army. they used law. when the coxey's army marched down pennsylvania avenue, jacob coxey had discovered that there were a number of laws that were going to limit what he thought he could do in washington. that his people's capital was not so open to him as he had expected. the police chief had politely informed him that there was a regulation passed in 1882 that forbid any organized group from parading on the grounds of the capital, from carrying banners, from making speeches, from using any part of that public space surrounding the capital for political cause. and that if you did so, you would be arrested. so coxey decided that he was not willing to risk arrest for all the participants of the march. they did not plan to march all on to the grounds of the capital. but he was determined that he had the right, as an individual, just like all these other visitors who came to washington and went up the steps to the capital and went inside the cap tol building and steeples even went in and lobbied and spoke to

world to protect the story to record me ference and so on but i saw this incredible poster that the us army produced which is a poster of jefferson. say it was a big statue of jefferson saying the cost of liberty is a turtle beach once that is the price of liberty and it had giant interception systems people with guns and the coast guard and people looking out over the sea with spike losses they had interpreted jefferson's statement which was that to start a strong state we must be eternally vigilant into we must have a strong state an aggressive state a surveillance state in order we haven't yet i think it's regrettable that the state is so big that then our defense has to be so big i channel lee we're going to blow but it's a reality and you know what i'd like to go back to your thing about liberty and equality. of course if people are unequipped if people had an equal counts an equal intelligence. then the only way to make them equal is to take away liberty that's the only way you can do it there's no other way so of course there's an inherent conflict between the liberty listening to qu

use at the beginning of my book. i will repeat the story to you. after the confederate armies clearly lost -- yes. >> wouldn't it have just been an advantage. they are just made -- they had to make a decision to split fween their state loyalties. i don't see where the argument comes. it's not the way they wanted to fight. >> west point significance is that it is the only way, using organized armies for both sides it's the only way they can imagine how to fight a war. for both sides, it's -- no matter which section you go with, you go west point, yes you have a sectional loyalty but you end up in a military institution that says this is the way soldiers fight. right? so that's what -- that, to some degree, imprisons them. that's part of the reason is that warfare has all sorts of problems and complications that would not have made it a viable solution. even though some confederates talked about it. that doesn't mean it would have worked. >> there is quite a di fintive book on that exact subject called west pointers in the civil war. >> yeah. it does talk about some of those thi

they became clear if the flow became unmanageable, then it would consider using its army to carve outa safe buffer zone. but they'd need bigger numbers before they consider that. they're now moving -- a lot of the refugees who come over, the other camps, they've got six camps in cathay province. they're moving into much bigger camps to where they can manage them better. so, at the moment, they can cope, but that number of refugees does tell you how bad the violence must go. >> and it apparently makes a mockery of the diplomatic effort. kofi annan obviously pushing things forward today on that and urging president assad to try to end the bloodshed, but it does seem as though -- >> well, he's given a deadline, which is significant. there's a date, and there was april 10. it's not surprising his forces are trying to maximize the most crude methods for use of armed force and hope that they inflict as much damage as they can on the free syrian army before they have to start that withdrawal. now, when that withdraw is supposed to start, the 10th of april, we'll see whether they're sincere.

recommendations is to develop innovative ways such as rotational deployments using the marines, using the army, using special forces to sustain u.s. presence elsewhere in the world. fourthly, we need to insure that we can confront and defeat aggress from any adversary, any time, anywhere. we have to have the capability to defeat more than one enemy at a time. this is the 21st century. and our adversaries will come at us using 21st century technology. and for that reason, we've got to be able to respond with 21st century technology. so we must invest in space, in cyberspace, in long-range precision strikes, and in special operations forces to ensure that we can still confront and defeat multiple adversaries, even with the force structure reductions that i outlined earlier. even with some adjustments to the force structure, this budget sustains a military that is the strongest in the world. we'll have in the army 18 divisions and 65 brigade combat teams. the navy will maintain 285 ships with the marines we'll have 31 infantry battalions and 10 artillery battalions. and in the air force, we'll ma

what he should are have done is fought this fabian strategy and kept his army in one piece and used the confederacy's vast size to his advantage. so, this is, and we have other military for examples. what helps with napoleon? what big country does he invade? russia. it's the same. it's too big. you get more and more worn down and that's potentially a problem that can be used against the federals. who repeats professor lud will talk about this a lot. who repeats the french error in russia? nazis. >> it was actually the disadvantage to the confederates that they picked washington, not washington, richmond as their capital and not something further south. >> that is problematic, and your readings don't have, richmond is chosen probably because virginia is so important. it's the home state of so many presidents, including washington. virginia is var large in terms of population. richmond has the iron work, which is one of the few centers of confederate industries, so it's of extraordinary political importance and that's one of the reasons why it sort of seals the deal. in retro spect, was i

government employees are now restricted by presidential order to using the army field manual to conduct interrogations. that manual has been available on the internet for years and is rely used by terrorists as a training manual for resisting interrogations. we have no classified interrogation program at all. those who may be interrogated know precisely what to expect and they expect techniques from a manual designed forever use by the most inexperienced recruit. when a man named abdul mutallab was captured over detroit, there wases in place as yet not interrogation program operated by the fbi and so he was warned of his miranda rights and put immediately into the criminal justice system. however, the investigations of cia operatives, that the justice department had had time to begin and to organize. that is i suggest eloquent of the priorities of those making those decisions. and what of the larger struggle against islamism? obviously, there are limits to how a government like ours can defend itself. if the first amendment's establishment clause means anything, it means our government
