most of them fleeing wars in syria, afghanistan, or iraq. nbc's bill neely has more on their plight. >> reporter: they fled war. thousands ran from tear gas in greece, clashing with riot police, trying to cross the macedonia border. refugees from syria, among them babies, desperate for a better life in europe. we were there as many like them arrived in greece, coming ashore in small boats in huge numbers. they've left the horror behind, but this is no paradise. >> this is the beginning of a long road. >> yes. >> reporter: they get little help. their first stop is a squalid camp where food is scarce. greece can't cope. these refugees live in a former prison camp, free to go but nothing is free. >> we don't have to be treated like this. >> reporter: there is desperation to eat and to leave greece. the world's main refugee agency says all this is shameful. >> the conditions are unacceptable. >> reporter: it is not aid agencies but volunteers who help the refugees ashore. >> nothing is being done by europe. it is a joke. >> reporter: few countri

some have fled afghanistan or iraq. they first fled to neighboring countries. for example, to turkey and to lebanon for syrian refugees, but because of the resources and -- for example, our appeal of our been 40% emergency response in turkey, lebanon and jordan. people really face difficulties in those countries. they can't put their kids to school. they don't have the means to pay for medical care. so they're trying to find all the countries where they can be protected and they can have access to assistance. laura: legally then, do they not lose their refugee status once they left turkey or jordan or lebanon? these are countries not at war or people not -- it does then become a case for seeking a better life economically as hard as life is in those countries. they have moved from the situation of war and conflict. celine: there are people who are fleeing conflicts and war. and europe, countries have to -- to those people and they have to protect them because many of them are entitled to have a refugee status. and if we take the numbers, for example, of syrian

that drove my desire for material but a reader who has not gone into afghanistan or iraq needs a sensory experience to put themselves there and feel the recipient that creeps into your clothes and the pages of your notebook rand your bed sheets and is in your food to begin to feel what it could be like. but i felt strongly that if my tax dollars we're going to people's salaries to send them off to war then what is this like? it should not be borne by those that ask but those that do the asking as well and should be carrying that story. the reason it is so hard as they are coming back and enjoy a reality where nobody knows what their living through or nobody can understand. had a certain point michelle speaks to a family member. she says this is my sister michelle she just got back from iraq and mitchell says i was in afghanistan. i think that is the lovable of disconnect. yes. is hard with two wars fought at the same time and you wonder where fallujah is. and it is hard to keep track on the map but it is important. is good to have fellow authors writing about the same subject i feel it i

. >> in iraq and afghanistan why did you choose to write or set your novel in afghanistan and not to iraq? >> i have been riding on the iraq war. it was indeliberate i was very interested with the theme that had come up and this was coming at me and i feel as though it takes over suave was not shunning one it just got my attention with the loudest amount of volume. >> will you write about iraq? >> day you have any good ideas? [laughter] >> have you ever personally died j green on blue attack or felt your life was in danger? >> i never personally did anywhere that i worked but it was something that you knew was out there because you knew it was happening one thing you could always tell some would wear a small pistol of their hip in the small of their back. but at the end of the day or a handful of american and surrounded by afghans and there is so lovell of fatalism. >> telling about it in consultation of your role as an advisor that you thought that afghan commander would say we could go here or here to secure this border with your role suggests that yourself? >> sure but as much as i

and i think afghanistan or the original wars in iraq ever war. what they are doing is is their ability to leverage social media to get their messaging out is unprecedented. when i was in afghanistan, pakistan chasing al qaeda and the taliban, they would do things called night letters. they would write a letter and leave it on people's door steps. you can only hit a couple hundred people every night. but isis is hitting tens of millions every day and they are getting their message out in a way that is unprecedented. so their ability to grow, that is pretty scary. and then when you look at the cyber threats that we're facing around the world, it's just unbelievable. it is no longer about preventing someone from getting in. if you give me enough time, i'm getting into the individual network. the question becomes, how can you detect it, how can you contain it, and how can you kick people out. the number of people able to get into our sophisticated digital infrastructure is increasing exponentially as well. the thing is we have smart, hard-working amer

could come back, they have gone to the police force and it is like they are still fighting in iraq or afghanistan. they treat the public like someone coming from behind the building and they just start shooting. the other point i wanted to make was i worked in city county state government in human resource management for nearly 20 years. i helped higher police officers and law enforcement people and merit system a test or examination to get hired, they always get the military people, and this goes back a long way back, they always give them extra points on their test scores. so if a regular citizen scored thend a veteran scores 80, veteran automatically gets an 85, so the veteran is put in front of the regular citizen. the other thing i wanted to ask you, captain, and i know he is in training primarily, our police officers tested for drugs and for steroids on a continuous basis? the things i see on television, and i am 63-year-old and basically retired, so i watch tv, and i'm watching the news and you see these police officers who have their heads shaved and when they go into action, it is like y

are services out there being provided and i encourage anyone who is seeking service or help from the iraq and afghanistancommunity to continue passing on the information of where the services are provided. there's a lot to learn from those who are serving now. we can never do enough for those serving our nation. >> with nearly a decade of war winding down, how do you see the mission of your foundation changing as fewer and fewer combat veterans come out of the armed forces do you worry it's going to become more difficult to get the american people and the political system to properly serve veterans? >> it is more difficult. they're off the front pages, but the residual effects of these wars will last for decades. we still have challenging environments within the veteran community from all wars, don't we. i've never been to combat and many of our veterans have. never leaves you. never goes away. the more we can keep people aware of what's happening within our military community, the more services will continue to be provided. is that, as i said, the residual effects of these wars will last for decades, an

the quote unquote good war and the reason i put that in quotes is he himself called iraq the or which meant afghanistan in his mind he was leading people to believe he's not antiwar but he's just anti-iraq war. >> host: just one question on that, do you think i was genuine or do you think i was political cover in 2008 because he didn't want people to think he was a pessimist? >> guest: i would be more cynical and assume it was a political decision except for how he pitched himself and his unilateral approach saying he would be unafraid to go to pakistan to get an al qaeda operative. he became a big deal to time and lo and behold he ends up having to do just that to get osama bin laden. i think he did have a theory of the case when he was comfortable acting unilaterally as the commander-in-chief so i don't think -- i don't think he was an antiwar guy. i think he was certainly a cautious guy with the use of the military but he's not fully antiwar and he is proof that. with afghanistan i do think he knew that there was an expectation certainly by the military leaders hey basically campaign saying we were

he called iraq the dumb war that meant afghanistan in his mind, or he was leading people to believe he is not anti-war just anti-iraq war. >> host: do you think that was genuine or a political cover because he didn't want thpeople thinking he was a pacifist? >> mr. todd: i would assume it was a political state department's decision except how he pitched himself saying he would not be afraid to go into afghanistan to get an operative. he did have to do that to get osama bin laden. i don't think he is anti-war but cautious. i think he was -- i think he has proven he is not anti-war. in afghanistan, there was an expectation that you campaigned and we were loosing and you providing the sources we need for afghanistan. the military industrial complex was certainly taking advantage of what they saw was a promise they feel implied. obama never said he felt like he was going to increase troops in afghanistan but it was implied. it was certainly implied. he took nine months. the initial recommendation was 140,000 troops and he gave them 130 troops. it took nine months. he was frustrated the pen

afghanistan being reproduced in iraq and syria. this is what osama bin laden wanted to do, take over afghanistan. i don't think he realized or believed this could happen. but now we have a caliphate deck lated in iraq and syria and it comes directly out of the model from afghanistan. so when we took our eye off the ball in 2003, on march 19th, went into iraq, that sent another signal to the world, that we weren't serious about afghanistan. and if you talk to a lot of -- many of you must have military friends or friends that are still serving or ex-military. now that they are not wearing the uniform, they might tell you how they really feel. and it would be -- it is an interesting conversation. yes, they were following orders. but now that they have the freedom to discuss it, what do they think? and it is interesting to go to west point or to annapolis or to the navy war college or to the navy post graduate college, which i did in monterey, california, and talk to them. they are not happy. but they are also tired. so with this challenge in iraq and syria right now, it is really exponentially more critical. but that 2001 quest

iraq and afghanistan. >> that will make you work anywhere. doesn't matter it's a war zone, doesn't matter if you are going given good food or conditions. men are ready to sacrifice. >> a village of several thousand people,en several hours from the closest airport. locals estimate that 70 to 80% of the men have worked in afghanistan. >> you may get 500 rupees a month. the agents promise you to get $800 a month. i would consider moving there to get a job. >> we went to a tea shop and word spread we were looking for people who had worked on bases. it turned out this man serving tea, had worked in afghanistan, for supreme , working for nato. >> whether they made it to afghanistan or not, everyone had a story about how they had been cheated. this man paid $3,000 for 3,000 to an agent, for a job in afghanistan but when he arrived he was told he would be working for a much lower salary. at bagram, the largest u.s. base in afghanistan, worked for echo log, the same company robbie had told us about. one of the most prominent subcontractors, working on flor floor and dinecorps contracts. it's public health controlled on fear. the fear of losing

who have served in iraq or afghanistan. there are a couple. but there aren't very many. >> terry, here's an interesting question. if you're a person of color from the u.s., do you think the survival of captivity is grea r greater? >> i don't think that has any relevance at all. -- a much better approach to people of color. and i don't think it makes a difference if you're a christian or a muslim. it's not a religious question. these people don't think in those terms. >> john, did you have something? >> yeah, i want to go back to the previous question. and certainly, terry, i would, you know, welcome your comment. but i think if it was not so much competitive nature to some of these -- to get the right -- to get the story, to get it first, et cetera. more willing to spend some time, figuring out how safe this is. should we be doing this? should we be in groups? and can we use some of the older -- as you put it, old people, as mentors. >> we like to say old crocodiles. >> right. >> i think mentoring can certainly be very effective. >> yeah. >> i

being externally driven from our engagement in conflicts like iraq and afghanistan versus internally driven through changes in american culture or perceptions of the role of women in the workforce is something i'd like to see you speak on. because there does seem to be this tension in the conversation with this panel about whether it's about manpower and manpower shortages and getting full staffing levels or it's about acknowledging as owen harding said earlier that we're all people and we're all equal and we should all be able to participate in these same roles. so your view on whether this is an externally or internally driven development would be very helpful. >> that's an interesting question. does anyone want to take a crack at it? >> i can start perhaps. it is a great question. and it's -- but you're opening a pandora's box here as well. the short is it's both. we haven't talked at all about u.n. security council resolution 1325, the u.s. national action plan on women, peace and security, which are you could say a more rights-based arguments, that this is the right thing to do, we have to empower women, gender equality, et

but he never wrote about that or put the story in the larger context of what the army was doing, standing arms in afghanistan and iraq, using private contracts to be gun runners on their behalf. so the response those "new york times" article was profound and immediate. inside the albanian embassy, in tehran, they were terrified that "the new york times" would connect them to this arms dealing shin unanimous -- shenanigans which they were deeply connected to. so the piece ran at midnight "new york times," which is 6:00 a.m. in tehrana, and i have an e-mail from a senior officer in the embassy from 6:00 6:00 a.m., which i 12 minutes past 6:00 so he read the article and rites: no mention of the embassy involvement. thank god. and so this is a little quote from the book. and this is the aftermath of the times article. the dudes were no longer the only dudes. in the days that followed it would emerge the true dudes were now prosecutors and investigators and diplomats and military officials taking deep, heady hits on the bong of power. the justice department was now hell bent on bringing indictments against as many of thos
