today we think of war as the breakdown of the system, but before 1928 war was the system, war was thelegal mechanism by which victims sought recompence, but any type of legal violation none payment of debts, property damage, enforcement of inheritance claims, shorting out of succession disputes, all these wrongs that states claimed, they could pursue forcefully using violence, killing people, seizing land in order to right those wrongs. as mentioned in the world order, states have the right of war but also rights that went with it, crucially they had the right of conquest. if states had claimed to be wronged, they had the right if their demands were ignored to use force, invade territory and seize that land as their own, which of course, makes sense from the perspective of the world order, the point of war was to compensate for wrongs committed to them so right of conquest only gave them the right which would enable them to be made whole. many people don't realize that in 1846 the united states went to war with mÉxico in order to pay an order to collect unpaid debts, mÉxico owed the u

global cold war. if i want to change the title to the cold war, a global history, would that work? the other question i have is toward the end of the book you mentioned that gorbachev didn't like the leaders of eastern european communist parties. so in 1989 when things got nasty over there, he refused to intervene. my question is, if there were still met in 1989 or 1991 where communism, would communism collapsed in eastern europe, or would soviet union disintegrated in 1991? thank you so much. >> thank you. >> i am a fulbright scholar at gw history department. and so i'm going to ask you about the role of global institutions, and some wondering how you would respond to the criticism, even if you call this book a world history rather than global history is still history on east versus west. still history of the global north. if you look at the role of global institutions, think about global society, what we see is a very dynamic discussion about the experiences of capitalism versus socialism and ideas

and someone has gone to war, how do we enforce it. >> we've outlawing war, surely you can't use war to him enforce war, how are we going to enforce this prohibition a war? they struggle with the question for some time. ultimately they came up with a solution. it turns out henry simpson who was secretary of the state at the time had been classmates with samuel levinson and they had been corresponding and levinson sent him one of many articles he had written which is about the sanctions of peace. the idea of the sanctions of these was the force, you're not going to use war sanctions but you can refuse to recognize the seizure of territory. by states acting illegally. this is a revolutionary idea at the time. up until then when states conquer territory, even if they did it for legitimate reasons, once they had control it was there. if you look at maps from the 1600s through the 1928, the lines are shifting constantly. the borders are moving, if you look at a map from 1800 and 1650, everyone looks very different because wars are shifting and changing orders left and right. and he says the

war book and read it and then you would know all about the civil war. if you were interested in something else, you could buy the whatever else book you wanted. but we exist, and there are a bunch of us in this room that either already doing this for a living or will be doing this for a living. if there were only one past we would be doing something really useful in life than what we do, something that contributed to the common good instead of adorning it which is what we , mainly do. but the fact we disagree puts us in line with what the generation that actually experienced the war did. they had very vibrant -- a sort of soft word -- to describe how they contested their versions of history. we'll start with the winning side. the union cause and the emancipation cause. the two winning memories of the war, then we'll go to the lost cause, which is the most common term used to get at the former confederates' memory of the war. then we'll get to reconciliation, which is another stream of coming to terms with the war that i think historians have vastly exag

they have seen the balkan war and other wars. the know how deadly battlefield can be but they .on't know what to do about it believe there is going to be war but they think it will be short. beside the news first is going to achieve victory. although we will have mass casualties, it will be a short amount of time and the war will be over. will affecthow this them when they get the war they do not anticipate. is anrman part of this attempt to make sure that his theory is wrong. we can mobilize and move before army gets m going, we can cut them off and then deal with the russians. this plan goes off the rails in disastrous fashion in september of 1914. by early october 1914, you have two armies glaring at eachother north of paris along the aim river. want to gain the initiative and the other guy thinking the same thing. 1914, you haven't broken line of trenches and lines -- you have a broken totrenches all the way belgium from the swiss border. on the 22nd of august, 1914, the e 27,000 dead. an answer toave this. only by digging in

>> dissent is better in this war than a predecessor war.his does not mean the climate isn't showing some increasing hostility. war is unique about this that it is very unpopular, perhaps the most unpopular war in recent history. on -- of dissent on the part of government officials have tended to create an area in which government has had to tolerate dissent. >> legal director of the american civil liberties union. me thatu asked question, about two weeks ago, i would've said that general hershey and his selective service policy -- the government was behaving itself well. the indictments of dr. spock and the reverend and the other three individuals led a very critical change of behavior. they have lost their cool. they have been reached by the criticism, affected and injured by it, which is the purpose of criticism, of governmental action in a free society. it doesn't really serve its full purpose. clark, a strong administrative support are on vietnam, -- suppoerter on vietnam, his view. >> think the question of a rally in this war -- i thin

war. passions get up quickly when people remember civil war. been watching that in charlottesville in the last year and a half in the debates over equestrian statue of r.e. lee downtown. i'll talk when i get to the war today about some of the residences of the war in our current american situation. the ways in which the different streams of memory put in place by wartime generation either do or do not remain with us. my real focus is going to be on how the wartime generation remembered the war. i'm going to focus on four great interpretive traditions that came out of the wartime generation, thrived for many decades thereafter and in different degrees continue right down to 2017. the loyal white citizenry and african-americans and former confederates have very different takes on the war as they went forward after appeomattox. served them come canning out of the war thinking good bow about themselves and suited their purpose as they dealt with social and political issues that came up in the

war. >> guest: poland thought it was prepared but it wasn't. nazi germany was the mightiest military behemoth in world history up to that point and poland was, had a, sizable army. small air force, small navy. it was basically a poor country. it didn't have the sense and financial wherewithal germany did. they thought they could hold off germany at least for a while but germans rolled over them. cspan: you say it wasn't a surprise. the date was maybe a surprise but was the rest of europe preparing for war at this point? >> guest: they expected war was coming. most european countries hoped it wouldn't happen. half the european countries were neutral. they declared neutrality. some prepared for war to a certain extent but none of them were really ready for what was about to happen to them. they hoped somehow something would happen to prevent germany from embarking on what, you know, hitler had been really preparing for a number of years. so they were basically keeping their fingered crossed.

side of war. there has been a lot of great military and sometimes political leaders like ulysses s. grant who found war to be a antidote to depression. this temperament that was prone to melancholy. with the intensity of war alleviating that. i am wondering with george washington in your research did that ever,? -- come up? how was his temperament when he was inactive otherwise? phillip: this question has come up before. i think george washington during war suffer from bouts of depression. we see that in his letters. this is a long war. he often thinks that it is a lost cause. even when he takes the command of two boston he looks around and he sees a lot of ruffian frontiersman. he has to be reminded by command that these are the best marksman in the world. over the course of the lord his temperament and his attitude improves and he is less depressed. is he participating in war , maybe to relieve some psychological desire. i did not mention that he was depressed in the british empire. he was the p

>> janah: the war was very brutal, and people, after 30 years, everybody is tired of war.ose to 25,000 orphan children, about 15,000 people who were land mine victims. from the government side, they are still a bit scared, that there may be war popping up again, but slowly now they are addressing issues, like employment-wise, opportunity-wise, and there are a lot of occupied lands, now they are slowly giving it back. >> anthony: so, hopeful? >> janah: yeah, i see the progress. what i see here is the human resilience, like, you know, after going through this war for 30 years, how quickly people here can rebuild. [ bells ] >> anthony: so, what's happening today? first of all, where are we? >> janah: this is a kali temple. >> anthony: and kali is? >> janah: kali is a destroyer of evil. people go and pray, and have kali temples in villages because it destroys evil power. >> anthony: both good and bad? >> janah: yes. >> anthony: protector? >> janah: protector, destroyer. >> anthony: and destroyer. >> janah: yes. because kali is also known for courage and valor, like when people

the war. all right governor you've been vocal about your support for a former forty nine ers quarterback collin capper nick now while he was on the team last year he refused to stand during the national anthem before a series of games to protest police brutality and the oppression of minorities critics say that football should not be political but football has always been political in fact a senate report titled tackling paid patriotism reveals that between twenty twelve and twenty fifteen the department of defense paid professional sports teams six point eight million dollars in taxpayer money for patriotic tributes now these include on field color guard in and listen ceremonies national anthem performances flag details military appreciation night and welcome home performances for returning soldiers during that same period the military services spent fifty three million dollars in marketing and advertising contracts with professional sports leagues this includes the n.f.l. and b.a. and h.l. a

war on veterans. to be more specific, it was because of the vietnam war that we developed a growing and now much more fulfull-some understanding, particularly the long term spiritual effects and challenge of combat experience. of course, one of the most powerful expressions of this was the clinical, the development of the clinical diagnosis of post traumatic stress disorder as a part of the now diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders. that happened in 1980. too late in some ways for some vietnam veterans, but nonetheless, it was a very important step in the understanding of the effect of combat on the individuals who are involved in combat. and particularly the exposure to trauma and catastrophic stress and the ways in which trauma and catastrophic stress overwhelm our adactive capacities as people, leaving strong residual effects on people who undergo that trauma. beyond ptsd, and i think in a still more important way, more recently, we have developed an additional layer of understandin

the war. somebody who was enslaved. people are attracted to stories about people. if we keep doing that you have to upgrade the technology, that you also have two tell a good story. i think that is something that is lost today by a lot of historians. they will get up in front of a battle, talk about a but they are not telling a story. movies are nothing but storytelling. when you to make an more applicable and be good storytellers. we have talked about how the neat and tidy narrative is working against us in a lot of ways. having a good narrative is also probably the greatest tool. my last question for you, give us some examples. what is your civil war origin story? how did you get hooked on the civil war? >> i will start. titanic kid.a my mom got me a book about the titanic. it came from the magic treehouse series. i was in the third grade and i got the next book about the civil war. there was a nine-year-old drummer boy and i was a nine-year-old or greater reading about the 9-year-old drumme

we've outlawed of war. we can't use war to enforce the prohibition of war. they struggle with this question for some time. ultimately they come up with a solution. it turns out that henry stimson was a secretary of state at the time had been classmates with samuel levinson, one of our heroes, they been corresponding and the levinson sent him what a mini articles in britain which was a about the sanctions of peace. the idea of the sanctions of these was you are not going to enforce with war, , you not use war sanctions but you can refuse to recognize the seizure of territory by a state that is acting illegally. this is a revolutionary idea at the time. up until then when states conquered territory even if they did it for illegitimate reasons once their control of it, it was theirs. if you look at maps of europe from the 1600s up to 1928 lines are shifting constantly. the borders are constantly moving. if you look at a map from 1650 1650-1750, everyone looks different because wars are changing and shifting borders left and right. he says we are not, the ideas

a civil war was the french american war a civil war it was an attempt to impose a century and imperial or a colonial regime on a country that wanted independence the war later on the next period of the war from fifty four fifty five on again was an american war essentially to call it a civil war is absurd as they do call it a war in which one side is entirely paid equiped directed basically by a foreign power is not a civil war they i think they were misled by the fact that there were vietnamese on both sides some vietnamese specifically the ones who may have called it a civil war to some degree. we're the ones who had fought for the french against the independence of their country for various motives and essentially those were the same officers and many of the same men who came south and fought under the americans and other foreign power and some of them may sincerely have felt they were fighting against countryman communists who were they and they didn't want to communist regime others simply wanted the pay or the family physician or whatever of working for foreigners and a very smal

he participates in the seminal wars and the new mexican wars. he sees himself being this career military person and making a life in the military. he finds himself as a lieutenant colonel in the war department. if you have read the book, you know i tried to sidestep the claim that he was responsible for starting the american civil war. was sent on a secret mission to talk to robert anderson about the prospect of what might happen if south carolina decided to secede. you have to understand, floyd, the war secretary, has given bewell no instructions and he spent three days in trust and harbor with robert anderson and after the first few hours, he was convinced that south carolina was probably going to secede and he had a long conversation with robert 9.erson on december before he left, he felt so conscientious about putting something in writing that he did put a memorandum of instructions to anderson should it look in a eminent that south carolina was going to secede and mobilize for war and he should position himself better in the harbor by movin

to know world war ii you have to learn world war i.hat we went world war i, the 100th anniversary. we didn't get there until april 1918, after the declared war and didn't start fighting until the summer time and lost, this is combat, 53,000 we lost more than fat, 63,000 because of injuries from the war and disease. the point i am trying to make is the british in one day lost 65,000 men and when people look back at chamberlain, they don't see what the english people saw which was horrendous death and horrendous personal tragedies from world war i. this is a poor analogy but like a football team, the winning team suffers a lot of injuries but the wind. the losing team suffers a lot of injuries, they lose. they want revenge and hitler was the revenge. the winning team in world war i wanted to move on and laugh they wanted was a war. i have a question as far as winston churchill's citizenship. his mother was an american citizen if i'm not mistaken. the president of the united states -- >> guest: he wasn't born here. you have to be born her

they voted against a war they hated, the mexican war. an institution that detested -- slavery. lincoln was 39 years old, john quincy adams was 80. it is impossible to know in the three months in which they sent in the same hall whether or not they spoke to one another. adams stood close by when lincoln and the other newly elected congressman were sworn in by the speaker of the house. moments before, adams had been given the honor of swearing in the speaker. no one in that room could escape adams' prescence and his voice. lincoln luckily drove number 100 91, that earned him a seat at the far rear end of the chamber -- luckily drew number 191, that earned him a seat at the far rear end of the chamber. adams was right up front. he may have taken notice of the resolution lincoln introduced in late december of 1847. lincoln called on the 30th congress that james pohl enter a series of questions about the origin of the ongoing mexican war. both adams and lincoln believe the united states had been the aggressor. the rules of the house require that resolutions be made over -- that mean

they look at his experience as a soldier in the civil war and indiana wars and his relationship with fellow marksman and showman captain jack crawford. the buffalo bill's center of the west in cody, wyoming, hosted this 90 minute talk. >> thank you, jeremy. thanks to the buffalo bill center of the west for holding this symposium. thaw to c-span for filming it. this is a wonderful opportunity to get the story of buffalo bill and the west out to the broad american audience, that is the goal of all of us in this business, to try and inspire others of the story of the american west and show why we love it so much. this morning, we have three folks who are going to inspire you, and make you fall even more in love with the american west. we're going to have them speak in alphabetical order. i learned to do that back in the fifth grade. that's the way we're going to do this. i'll introduce them individually as they appear. first, we have jeff broom. who i've known for many years. jeff is very active in not only the academic world but world of popular history and writes magazine articles for

, to fuel the war effort.'s this kind of female masculinity. and here i will offer you a brief theoretical footnote. jack halverstam has written a terrific book called "female masculinity." in the introduction to that book he writes about james bond. it seems far afield,Ñt!ymç but halverstam writes about james bond as a kind of heroic masculine figure, right? handsome, dressed to the nines all the time, gets all the ladies, using the secret spy tools and such, but that james bond's heroic masculinity is only seen as being the man's man when juxtaposed to other masculinities in the james bond books, like for example moneypenny who is his boss in the british intelligence offices, she is this sort of butch, masculine figure, projecting a female masculinity. or q, the very nerdy scientist who invents all the innovative technical devices that bond uses in his escapades. and q, halverstam argues, is not an accident. q is q for year, it's a year masculinity. we only have an heroic masculine figure when we juxtapose i

rebellion, world war i, world war ii, and korea. our goal is to learn their story and honor all of them. of our the last night three-part series, are commemoration is one week away. if i look panicked, bear with me, we are one week away. we have had a great couple of , a professor talk to us about sacred ground, we were informed about world war i and this evening we will look at world war ii. there are world war ii veterans buried in our national cemetery. award-winnings an professor, author, and military historian. the university of missouri and earned her degree in sports journalism. brief stint in advertising and sports broadcaster he found his love, it is literary academic -- and academic career he earned his ma from the university of missouri and his phd from the university of tennessee. he is the author of numerous books, i cannot read them all, but i want to share a few with you. "deadly sky the american combat men in world war ii. ", "the seventh infantry, combat in the age of terror." "the dead and those about to die ." and

oh yeah i mean it's not a limitless you know it could be a war a cyber space war a computer based war it could be a war and fought on multiple multiple fronts when you're dealing with space why can't we you know go up there with a flag with a p. symbol on it make everybody salute that you know that wouldn't be as controversial as cap or nic a flag would have peace symbol on it. as a soldier governor do you think it's a viable to attack another nation's communication systems. isn't viable certainly in war there's an old cliche vergina anything goes in war you know it's he who is left standing at the end wins doesn't matter how you end up standing at the end there are no rules govern a war has been an engine of progress do you think that maybe having weapons in space will give a push for space exploration. i don't know you'd have to talk to them about that i think that the basic concept of putting weapons in space is wrong and bad i mean we can't even control our weapons down here on earth we're now going to put them up in space and who's going to be in charge of all that i mean we had

war. >> guest: poland thought it was prepared but it wasn't. nazi germany was the mightiest military behemoth in world history up to that point and poland was, had a, sizable army. small air force, small navy. it was basically a poor country. it didn't have the sense and financial wherewithal germany did. they thought they could hold off germany at least for a while but germans rolled over them. cspan: you say it wasn't a surprise. the date was maybe a surprise but was the rest of europe preparing for war at this point? >> guest: they expected war was coming. most european countries hoped it wouldn't happen. half the european countries were neutral. they declared neutrality. some prepared for war to a certain extent but none of them were really ready for what was about to happen to them. they hoped somehow something would happen to prevent germany from embarking on what, you know, hitler had been really preparing for a number of years. so they were basically keeping their fingered crossed.

it's a war for union. and it's a war that ended with this grand success that ratified the work of the founders. it actually gave this generation work. how do you compete with the founders? that's one of the problems. all they did was establish the country in a bloody war against scummy great britain, then they are responsible for the constitution. ok. check. check. and what have we done lately? how do you complete with that memory? that's tough. how about saving the work of the founding generation? that's not bad. let's put that on our resume and that makes us look pretty good. that doesn't leave anything for later generations to do. who cares? we're taken care of. sort of a baby boomer approach to life. i want all of you to take care of me as i get older. and my generation lives forever. we are going to be around. you are going to have us as a giant anvil on your backs for almost all of your lives and you can't do anything about us, so don't even try. [laughter] prof. gallagher: you don't have a chance. h

in world war ii you need to learn world war i. people forget what we went through in world war i. the 100th anniversary and we really did not get there until april 1918. one year after we declared war. emeryville did not fighting until the summertime. and we lost. this is 53,000, we lost more than that actually, 63,000 because of injuries from the war and disease. so the total was more but the point i'm trying to make is, the british in one day lost 65,000 men and when people look back, they do not see with the english peoplesoft.which was horrendous deaths and horrendous personal tragedies from world war i. this is a poor analogy but it is like a football team. the winning team serves a lot of injuries but they win. the losing team suffers injuries and they lose. they want revenge and hitler was the revenge. the winning team in world war i just wanted to move on and the last thing that they want was a war. but i do have a question as far as winston churchill's citizenship. his mother was an american citizen if i'm not mistaken. could he have been president of the united states? >

rebellion, world war i, world war ii, and korea. our goal is to learn their story and honor and remember all of them. this is the last night of our three-part series, are commemoration is one week away. if i look panicked, bear with me, we are one week away. we have had a great couple of talks, a professor talk to us about sacred ground, we were informed about world war i and this evening we will look at world war ii. there are 72 world war ii veterans buried in our national cemetery. john mcmanus is an award-winning professor, author, and military historian. he is a native of st. louis and he attended the university of missouri and earned a degree in sports journalism. after a brief stint in advertising and sports broadcaster he found his love, an academic career. he earned his ma from the university of missouri and his phd from the university of tennessee. he is the author of numerous books, i cannot read them all, there are so many but i want to , share a few with you. "deadly sky the american combat men in world war ii," "the se

ge that comes with the war. so black folks leaving the south and settling in war production centers like los angeles, or san francisco, chicago, and elsewhere around the country is not uncommon. heart of why this is important for us, and we will see in a few minutes, is that the kind of demographic context in which mexican-americans find themselves living, changes, especially in big cities like los angeles where they are now living. are living,folks going to school with, perhaps working with, on occasion even being folks that might not part of mexican-american communities, or even mexican-americans themselves. los angeles in particular is home to a boom in wartime industry, lake shipbuilding, aircraft construction. finding work were as welders, or in other sorts of , working in wartime industry came to be seen as doing one patriotic duty. it became a marker of citizenship. of productive citizenship for many americans. if you are not a sailor or a soldier, the next best eating to doing your duty during world war

what the civil war was like. in may of 1888, and aged millie walker made her way from her home in south philadelphia to the offices of the christian recorder, near mother bethel church. maybe she had a 15 to 20 minute walk from where she lived to where she was going. millie took out an ad looking for members of her scattered family. although the war had ended years ago, millie remembered details as if they happened yesterday. as you can see by this ad, millie's sister cintha, was sold from north carolina to tennessee sometime before the war, from i have not heard anything of her whereabouts since that time, she explained. millie also hoped to find her sister's children, anne, robert, and gilbert. an extraordinary hope compelled millie to take out that ad more than 20 years since the war ended, and even longer since she had seen those loved ones, whose names she still remembered. other details had faded, and she was certainly not alone. 25 years after she was sold away from her children, lydia, william, alan, and

that war.et's ask ourselves what it is we can do to help. if you think that you can make a contribution to helping them by expressing your opinion and dissenting, do it. if the secretary of state starts to explain his viewpoint, don't send out instructions all over the country and say when he starts to talk cap your feet. we know most people's intentions are good. we do not question their motives. they have said ugly things about us. people that live in glass houses should not be anxious to throw stones. governor wallace, speaking in ohio last month, day to his views on the limitations of dissent. >> those who speak and call for communism in the name of academic freedom support aiding and abetting the enemy. if i was the president, the first thing i would do is have my attorney general drag some of a grandofessors before jury and indict them for what ors. are, traders -- trait [applause] i am not talking about honest dissent. many of these people in these audience probably. you love our country

world war ii was then followed by the cold war and we realized that we were to continue reading otherpeople's mail. i think there might have been this time where we thought we were going to close up the shop. and then it turned out that a estate open. there were actually a number of women who participated in the wharf who became a crucial part of the early nsa staff. he spent the rest of their careers in washington breaking the soviet messages. and in fact a woman who was a 22-year-old recruit. spent her life working for the nsa it was the first female deputy director of the nsa and there is a very important room at the nsa is named after her. that is a great question.ou i am a graduate of a women's college it brings me to my question in the history of meredith collegege there is nothing about this were they aware that this was happening in how was it represented in their history. and often what happened. what happens as a member of the military. they often wear the same person. and in some of the colleges have reconstructed their history. they have begun to recover this. they have a

forgotten war. prof. glatthaar: yeah. >> what was public opinion? did people view it as we were protecting the south koreans? prof. glatthaar: there was a lot of grumbling when reservists got recalled because people were upset but truman had worked people into a little bit of frenzy about this communist takeover, so the american public generally supported the war. it was easy to justify and remember there's a faith or at least a hope that the u.n. will be successful. by our time now, we're kind of jaundiced about the u.n., what it can and can't do and what it does well and what it doesn't do well. but i think there were a level of optimism that the u.n. could be utilized as the institution that could protect from these acts of aggression. and here's where we have to start the practice. and so i think that makes a big difference in people's lives. yeah. >> [indiscernible] were the soviets doing the same thing? prof. glatthaar: they had their world war ii tanks. >> [indiscernible] prof. glatthaar: and

if it's not a war. after 1945 we thought no, no, hit them hard and then it will be a war and it will be back to it and that will be terrible. no, no, no, no because re- torsion had to be something that was in itself lawful and i think this is more than that. anyway, i think it was a lot of lines as to what you think of as a neck to force when you can do it at a distance without landing personnel bear and we need to think more about that. >> richard. >> i would address this by saying that what counts as war now is really unclear because the russians right now regularly say they are at war with us and there's also a strategic chinese contingent who say they are at war with the united states, so what exactly if you are doing as some people in the intelligence community published a number of times trillions of dollars in damage to your adversary economy, if i considered war? knowing his dying. what if like last week a report came out that dragonfly malware has been found on all kind of us critical of the st

out of the war. i do not belong to any political party but i have no doubt that my answer to the question of whether we are aware of the great responsibility each of us now bears is yes we are aware of our responsibility and because we are aware of it we say stop the slaughter stop the bloodshed. mayakovsky published an appeal in the n.r. kissed newspaper. on march twenty eighth one thousand nine hundred seventy four the revolution. comrades if you want your manifestos posters and banners to draw more attention turn to artists for help if you want your proclamations and appeals to be more effective and convincing turn to poets and writers for help. and. pass to lenin that trischka that loud mouth braggart has finally turned up after all he was given a grand welcome he came via germany. the germans had gathered a whole heap of these troublesome trish because they provided an entire train sealed it so the spirit of the trish's doesn't escape on to german soil and sent it to us now you have him. on the

civil war world war two nothing compares to for the u.s. to be a war and not just boggles your my and i think this keeps going on and on and on and at what point. doesn't that seem strange to anyone in the department of defense that you have a war that's been going on for sixteen years because it's just it's just dollars and change doctors actually they're slow but it's not our money but they don't care about our body not been there are large and this is the thing it's there is so much money that could be saving people being wasted and lives being wasted there is a brown university does a cost of war has a cost of war project and as of two thousand and sixteen their new study found that the combined cumulative death toll of war in afghanistan and pakistan since two thousand and one is one hundred seventy three thousand with one hundred eighty one hundred eighty three hundred thousand one hundred eighty eight thousand one hundred thousand others were seriously injured so you take that you look at when the contract conflict began the united s

cold war and the second stage. come from that the korean war. so formation and conservation use better better use for ward to understand the code in the future how is that divide that impacted culture here in the south specifically by the queen were we. going to see emotion and deported. are you rich because confrontation between the salsa north even the korean war or not i think the we are similar to the astringent of the germany after the one hundred forty four books after the korean war or the situation when interest attrition has been changed are you taught critical view of the korean war it's been critical to north korea basically so war is that north korea invaded south korea and then it's a kind of the war this communist to try to dominate the korean peninsula initiated this war and things like that i'm not saying that that is not true or that it's not the party to and character of this war but i think we should have more holistic perspective to see why this war happened during the cold war era and what was the international dynamics to c

the war. we. don't hold. a. lead. all the world's dates and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties are into america playing marty america offers more artsy american personal. in many ways a news landscape just like to see the real news fake news good actors bad actors and in the end you could never know you're on. so much parking all the world's a stage all the world's a stage all the world's a stage and we are definitely a player. rejected tonight is a comedy new sold it is not de frank by the corporate media. would you go after the corporations that just more your live profit over people at every turn. over data it's not for me it's like medicine it's like a canto from all the stress that the news puts you under redacted tonight is a show where you can go to cry from laughing about the stuff that's going on in the world as opposed to just regular crying we're going to find out what the corporate mainstream media is not telling you about how we're going to filter it through some satirical come

the war. years. it's been seventy years since the united states military last added a uniform service with the creation of the air force after world war two but now congress wants to change that. the house of representatives just passed legislation under the national defense authorization act that would direct the department of defense to create a new space corps the agency will operate under the umbrella of the air force if passed by the senate we may soon see war in space gov the u.s. military depends on space for satellite g.p.s. and weather information but do we really need to militarize it. well in a perfect world i'd like to say no you know i really think that it's detrimental that we can't go out there without militarizing space here's the problem as i see it it's one thing to go out in space like star trek you know we've all seen star trek where you go in from world the world in where no man has gone before because you might run into the clay non-user you might run into some entity out there

saber rattling in a lot of the push for a war that really doesn't need to happen well even if the war doesn't happen alex it seems all the savior rattling will keep weapons makers here and in the u.k. very happy out of meal that reporting in toronto thank you so much thank you for some analysis let's turn to paul martin the senior director at peace action i welcome paul with all the escalations we've seen and recent weeks including the unprecedented sanctions recently put in place against north korea is the u.s. helping the situation by deploying a submarine more mess aisles and holding these drills with south korea. i don't think so i think we continue to escalate this situation and people ask are we going to go to war with north korea i think we are already at war with north korea not alone not only are we on the word war between the two leaders continuing to threaten each other with nuclear weapons that could kill hundreds of thousands if not millions of people but also there's probably a cyber war going on there's no doubt that north korea has been escalating its cyber warfare aga

war i, world war ii, and korea. our goal is to learn their story and remember all of them. this is the last night of our three-part series, so if i look a little panicked, bear with me because we are one week away. we have had a great couple of ground, andsacred now this evening we are going to look at world war ii. there are 70 world war ii veterans buried in our cemetery. an award-winning professor, author, and military historian. even native of st. louis who attended the university of st. louis. after a brief stint in advertising and sports broadcasting he found his love as a literary and academic career, earning his ma from the university of missouri, his phd from university of tennessee. he is an author of numerous books, i can't read them all but i want to share a few. "deadly sky: the american combat men in world war ii. " "the seventh infantry, combat in the age of terror." "the dead and those about to die ." in my personal favorite, "grunts: the american infantry combat experience." this man knows soldiers.
