sixteen is just one machine in one branch of the military to take another example the army's abrams tank weighs sixty eight tons and requires two gallons of fuel per mile. all told the united states department of defense burned some three hundred fifty thousand barrels of oil per day making it the world's largest single consumer the defense department uses think somewhat over two thirds of the energy. that the u.s. government. uses it uses them for ships and tanks and planes and heating buildings and a whole host of other things. were probably the largest impact that all the defense effort has is the diversion of intellectual entergy and our monetary resources away from trying to solve an address some of the long term problems. in sea level is also rising and in louisiana we've been losing thirty square miles a year roughly. of land. i mean if the united states were losing that to some foreign power we'd have the military out there defending it. we often ask the question where were you on september eleventh well i remember that very curtly because i was in new york and i was there specif

the final general was general abrams, by far the best of the three. i was given a lunch by the army when i left vietnam after a tour in the field and i sat next to abrams and i said general you have been here for longtime. i have been here six years. i said how do you keep going? he said i keep learning things. and iss politely as i could, what have you learned lately? and he said i just finished reading this book about the french defeat called hell is a very small place. does a great. i know understand what he said. he said the french lost because they failed to politically organize the terrain. my thought was if it took the commander in chief of our armed forces in vietnam six years to learn that i wonder we were losing the war. i have met general david petraeus and it was a rather humorous and counter. at a dinner given in his honor i stood in line to shake hands with him. something that don't do very often but i wanted to see what he was like. and i listened to him deal with a society matron who was gushing dollar over him and he left her feeling

innovative tactics, and of good plan so when general abrams came down april 1969 as a change of command, he said the performance had been magnificent in the last three events there is the unparalleled and medical performance. i was talking about the soldiers but every man helped the cooks and bakers go out on the perimeter all the transport people every day would ambush all the people had a lot to do and the medics were wonderful. the idea at talking about how we maintain security with the end game we have the land and the people and if you do that had to mention pacification? this survey took care of 165 questions they wanted to find out who was on the government control? so here the first of january 31st this is before and after i want you to see we have 1.7 million people before there was 662 people after 653 they did not have the uprising. they took a terrible beating. saying that you lost 24,000 people. it is true. we did but keep your eye on the 662,000. that is what the war was about to. these are the people who wanted to get into the government and the people you wanted to keep.
