the american navy is a boxer on the ropes. one more punch and he would be down for the count. he wants to pull the punch now rather than later. he left 1942 with the largest fleet in the history of naval warfare up to that point. the 50 ships will come out to defend it and he will destroy them with his overwhelming numbers. is hopingre gone, he and praying franklin roosevelt will sign a peace treaty with japan that will leave him and control the pacific. las vegas has not been created yet. if there have been makers at the time and las vegas, they would have given all of the advantages to the japanese. they were like a football team that was 16 and oh. the japanese do not win the battle of midway and partially that is because we had great leadership ourselves. this is a photo of a man who was able to restore morale i quickly after pearl harbor. not only laboring under a handicap of a lack of resources and man our mama but he also has another challenge. we have not yet broken japan's naval code. harbor, we got smart and began to apply more resources to break in the military code

the american navy suffers more deaths at okinawa than they did in their whole previous rest of the pacific war. now how does that play into the japanese strategy? got to cause the pain, right? that's the whole idea. wear down the american will by causing casualties. okinawa is almost ideal from the japanese point of view. they cause horrific casualties to the american land forces, the length of the battle forces, american navy to stay off okinawan waters, especially the kamikazes. but okinawa does fall. and the japanese high command very quickly realizes what's most likely next on the agenda. the invasion of the home islands. so how do they prepare? for this possibility? >> the japanese are going to provide 1.7 million people estimated to defend the islands. along with whatever area enforcements they have left and pretty much bring everything back to the main land, and pretty much have an all-out fight. hopefully to repel the americans, which really is kind of hopeless at this point. >> yeah. militarily, it's a challenge at best. what they're going to do is, try to bring home as many troop

he apologized for that, too long a chinese fighter jet buzzing an american navy plane.hinese plane like this one came within 20 feet of a poseidon. they came so close the pilots could see each other. it happened earlier this week in international air space over the south china sea. >> the message we are sending back to china, that is unacceptable and unhelpful to the military relationship we would like to have with them. >> similar fly byes from the chinese happened in march, april, and may. >>> so, do you think your car is safe? watch as this bay area thief walks up to a locked car and just opens the door. tonight, we find out how is that possible? >> plus, bay area cops caught checking out potential dates online when they were supposed , female narrator: it's posturepedic versus beautyrest it's posturepedic versus beautyrest with up to $400 off. serta icomfort and tempur-pedic go head-to-head with three years' interest-free financing. mattress price wars are on now at sleep train. ♪ your ticket to a better night's sleep ♪ has the power to kill 99.9% lysof germs.& free

the american navy is like a boxer on the ropes. one more punch, and he'll be down for the count. he wants to throw that punch now rather than later. he left the home islands of japan in the spring of 1942 with the largest fleet in the history of naval warfare up to that point in time. he's going to attack an american held island, the 50 ships will come out to defend it. he will destroy them with his overwhelming numbers. and when they're gone, he is hoping and praying that franklin roosevelt will throw in the towel and sign a peace treaty with japan that will leave them in control of vast regions of the pacific. now, las vegas hadn't been created yet, it was a bus stop in the desert, but if there had been odds makers in vegas at the time, they would have given all the advantages to the japanese. they were like a football team that was 16-0 and barely scored upon. but amazingly the japanese do not win the battle of midway and partially that's because we had great leadership ourselves. this is a photo of admiral chester nimitz, a man who was able to restore morale quickly not win t

the american navy suffers more deaths at okinawa than they did in their whole previous rest of the pacific. now, how does that play into the japanese strategy? got to cause the pain, right? that's the whole idea. wear down the american will by causing casualties. okinawa is almost ideal from the japanese point of view. they cause horrific casualties to the american land forces, the length of the battle forces, american navy to stay off okinawan waters for an extended period of time where they're vulnerable, especially the kamikazes. but okinawa does fall. and the japanese high command very quickly realizes what's most likely next on the agenda. the invasion of the home islands. so how do they prepare for this possibility? >> the japanese are going to provide like 1.7 million people estimated to defend the islands. along with whatever area enforcements they have left and pretty much bring everything back to the main land, and pretty much have an all-out fight. hopefully to repel the americans, which really is kind of hopeless at this point. >> yeah. militarily, it's a challenge at best. wha

they believed would be most likely to undermine the will of the american people to see the war through to unconditional surrender. the navy, under fleet admiral earnest j. king had studied war with japan for decades. one of the results of that study absolutely convinced that invading the japanese islands was a folly. that american casualties would be totally unsustainable because japan could muster greater forces. the terrain would negate moebltd and fire power. and therefore, the navy had derived the notion the only correct strategy to bring a war with japan to a close was one of blockade and bombardment. here i must interject and point out that when the navy talked about blockade and the context of world war ii, it was to fall along on the policy first employed by the british in world war i. that was a blockade that would include a blockade of food supplies. at its basic level, a campaign of blockade was aimed to threaten or actually kill literally millions of japanese, mostly noncombatants, from starvation. that's what the blockade was about. the army under george c. marshal believed the critical issue was time. that y

the real mission of the american navy in the interwar period was to potentially fight japan, and it was big enough to do that. but the assumption was that the british navy would handle the atlantic. now there was a possibility that the united states would have to fight japan and germany and italy and that germany and italy would, in the meantime, avail themselves of much of the british and french fleets. that was a truly catastrophic situation, and it demanded an immediate response. there were two specific fears about what the germans might do that dominated thinking for the next 18 months. and both involved direct threats to the western hemisphere. one was that they might leapfrog across the atlantic by repeating the norway operation first in iceland, then in gleanland, then newfoundland, labrador, and then they would be in bombing range of the united states. the second which was even more within their reach was they would send their army through the french liberia and even in west africa at dakar. at that point they would be able to seize some of the atlantic islands, the canaries and

away with $1.8 million after a jury decided he was defamed by the now-deceased author of "american sniper," navy.e.a.l.s. chris kyle. stems from an allegation in which kyle claimed he punched ventura in a bar in 2006 for bad-mouthing navy s.e.a.l.s. military families are of course outraged by the entire case and say the suit should have been dropped when kyle was killed in texas last year rather than target his widow. here now with reaction is former navy s.e.a.l.s. and the author of "lone survivor," marcus lutrell. thank you for being here and thank you for your selfless service to this great nation. by the way, anybody who hasn't already seen "lone survivor," run, don't walk, go see it tonight. it's a brilliant depiction of this man's heroism. marcus, let me start by asking you, i know that the entire navy s.e.a.l.s. community is outraged about what jesse ventura has done in going after this veteran, this war hero, chris kyle. can you tell us what your reaction is to this verdict and your reaction to how the media has handled this? >> let me just start by saying that i'm not here to speak for

the americans wisely burnt the navy yard. this massive act of distraction, many of which thought was outrageous, one radical mp said what the brits have done in washington is what the goths failed to do in rome. burn the shrine of democracy. they were trying to stop them fighting this bogus war. >> very true. i think, certainly, no matter how well behaved to the british troops were, this cannot qualify as a goodwill visit on the part of the british. [laughter] i utterly dismiss the idea this was an act of revenge for york. i think we can all agree with that. the british, quite simply, what cockburn had envisioned from the time he arrived in the chesapeake in the spring of 1813, and which ross agreed with, was to decapitate the government of james madison. they thought that by so humiliating the president by proving that he could not even defend his own capital, while he was trying to invade canada, this would so undercut support for the war, and possibly force the collapse of the american government. this was not symbolic by

american history. it was commissioned around 1919 by franklin roosevelt when he was then assistant secretary of the navy. roosevelt selected about 20 great american warships, which he wanted models made. the uss constitution would be one of them. it was given special care in terms of the detail. 1812, he had of met the british [indiscernible] guerrier andthe socket. the old -- sunk it. the old ironside moniker comes from that battle. cannonballs bounced off the whole of the uss constitution -- hull of the uss constitution. the amazing thing about the constitution's first victory over the guerrier is that it came within days of william hall's surrender of fort detroit. the commander of the uss constitution was a man named isaac hall. name is not coincidental. he was the nephew of william hall. days after william hall had surrendered for detroit, isaac hall the news comes right after the surrender of detroit. ,t has the opposite reaction has buoyed american hopes that success -- of success. this is winfield scott, a famous american general. more people are familiar with the scary looking early photographs

the british had the greatest navy in the world. the americans didn't have a navy to speak of. we had pirates, essentially, that we gave the ability to steal and pillage for their pay. most americans didn't actually support independence. less than half of continental americans supported independence. thousands fought for the british. and many of the others just wanted to be left t alone. that's not to mention the thousands of german and native americans that sided with the british cause. not to mention the fact that the british had the world's greatest economy. and the united states didn't really have one at the time. we had no central bank, and we had a very hard time raising money. so how did we win? it's not just that we wanted it more than they did. had a lot to do with the fact that we used intelligence better than the british did. that george washington, among others, was really good at utilizing the information that came in from a network of spies and a network of intelligence apparatus that he had set up during this time. and that's what our guest is going to talk about
