the army air corps was all white. the only african-americans who had positions in the army air corps worker looks, janitors, security personnel who guarded the fence around the base. the generals in charge of the army air corps like that way. they had come up in world war i when the army air corps was all white. that was the world they knew. they liked it that way and expected to stay that way. they had no plans whatsoever to include african-americans in any way in their branch of the service. they had some research backing them up. following world war i they commissioned a study called the use of negro man power in war that was meant to study are african-americans performed in world war i and to use that research in planning for the next war. this was created in 1925 but still form the basis of army human resources policy as late as 1939-1940. it began under the terms of the constitution the negro has the rights of citizenship and as evidence he must bear his share of the war. it continues the negro is physically qua

to look into how the army procures major systems found at every year since 1996 the army spent more than $1 billion annually on programs that were ultimately canceled since to those of for 3.4 trillion to 4.8 per year of farming development testing evaluations have been lost due to cancel programs including the now canceled future combat systems program. it goes on and on and you are very aware of it. doesn't it have to be one of your highest priorities of trying to get this procurement situation under control? and wouldn't it be helpful if we gave legislative authority to the service chiefs to be more involved in the whole acquisition process? >> well, first off i will work closely with the secretary of the army on these issues. we've identified several issues. first takes too long to develop programs as the length of time increases we change requirements but because they are more expensive we haven't been good at predicting the technologies that are available, so we have to work at all of this. so we are not wasting money coming and we are putting money in place is essential to us

and it was that army that became the basis for the bonus army. if you take a look at that arm request, a couple of things snap out. one is that loss the draft boards, and eventually we had to have a draft, that was discovered quickly. the draft boards were sending both black and whites into the army. but the army was segregated. and the black, the black guys who did go overseas, and a large number of them were put into stevedore, truckdriver, working on the docks, they weren't put into combat. it was still an attitude in our country at that time, that you don't put a gun in the hands of a black guy. and so, the men that they had to send into combat, because there were redgements of well-trained infantry and artillery. they put under a french flag. they were, they fought alongside french colonial troops with french helmets, french weapons. and they got more than their share of french decorations, too. and they fought bravely in world war i and came back. with the expectation that they would be received by our nation as a new kind of black, black c

his army stall mated, inspiring the comment, if general mcclellen did not want to use the army, maybe he could borrow it. for a while. if something was not done soon, lincoln con fided the billion would be out. 1862 could have been the worse year. before it was over, they got better than worse than better, than worse. before the disasters, abraham lincoln did nothing less than transfer the war for union into the union for freedom. that was a pretty breathtaking turn of events. we wanted to explore that year today with an emphasis on the extraordinary battle of antedum that did so much to transform america in many ways. let's go back a couple of days before the battle. september 15th, 1862. lincoln to mcclellen, destroy the rebel army if possible. two days later, in a -- after a battle widely reported in the press as a major union victory, the commander in chief issued no congratulations that i've ever seen in the army, but a few days later, he issued the emancipation proclamation, suspended the writ of habeas corpus, started nagging mcclellen to go into action. he wrote the amazing le

his army was in a trade condition. understand that causes of man crossed the potomac into maryland because they wanted to fly south to virginia. he went with about 40,000 men. is that true? >> again, i don't think -- his soul determination was to get this over with as soon as possible. he recognized, i think, that the south could not maintain itself that long against the industrial might. so right from the time he takes command on june 1st of 1862 he takes the offensive in order to try to end this war as soon as he could. and that think this carries over during the peninsular campaign when he comes very close to defeating mcclellan. he immediately goes north. again, he has no choice. he has to do something. general pope is to the north of them. in a moment to -- general mcclellan is to the south. he has to do one or the other. he goes after pope's first. as i said before, at that point he is faced with the decision to either keep going or to retreat and give up all that he has gained. so i don't think -- i don't see hi

a group chartered by the secretary of the army to look into how the army prokurs major weapon systems found that every year since 1996 the army has spent more than $1 billion annually on programs that were ultimately cancelled since 2004 $3.3 billion to $3.8 billion per year of army developmental testing and evaluation funding has been lost to cancelled programs including the now cancelled future combat system program. as we know the cost of the f-35 has lurched completely out of control. the few short months after the awarding of the contract to boeing for the new tankard is now an additional billion dollars in cost and the list goes on and on. what's the level of your concern and what do you think we ought to be doing about it? >> well, senator as with r we discussed when i was here a few months ago, i would never sit here and try to justify -- it would be impossible to sit here and justify the current process given that it has not delivered the capabilities we've required at -- within the resources available to do so. and so i think that we're at a point where we absolutely have to

forces can't defeat the taliban what makes anyone think that the afghan army can. i think a couple things here to notice that the taliban has grown as a result of continued u.s. presence in the southern afghanistan so by the u.s. leaving you're going to see the taliban basically not want to fight as much because they're supposed to be fighting it's kind of conspiracy and afghan peace process take place because afghans generally speaking don't want to silly fight with each other they just simply want to live in coexist for the most part when i'm away but then how do you reconcile that a lot of the civilian casualties that have been reported over the last year a lot of the civilian casualties there are believed to be from taliban. well the taliban certainly is. to itself and certainly has killed a lot of afghans also done a lot of harm but remember the taliban is somewhere around fifteen to eighteen thousand strong in southern and eastern afghanistan so not a major part of the population but it's more of the mindset of trying to control things so basically as the tal

is the government that makes policy and the army carries it out. privately and makes it clear he is unhappy with the "emancipation proclamation." earlier coming he had written a famous landing live-- letter that was referred to saying a declaration about slavery would dissolve the president armies and should not be a war for conquest or other institutions for the restoration of the union as it was before 1861. and i don't think mclellan changed his mind and run some of the platform that avoids and a commitment at all to the abolition of slavery. runs on the platform of a party that pledges the constitution as it is. he clearly did not like the direction the war was beginning to take the yet does not openly protest in september october 1862. >> he does write a letter. a little address to his troops the superior to the military. i cannot remember exactly mid to the effective there is any objection the polls are always open and this is how you solve it of course, midterm elections were coming up so it is a thinly veiled a gesture. >> as we contemplate

retaliation for what he says the army did to him. they say he intended to attack the sprawling army post at ft. hood in texas. >> i'll just say that military personnel were a target of this suspect. >> reporter: in 2009 a shooting rampage at ft. hood left 13 dead and 30 others injured but on wednesday a suspicious clerk at this gun shop near the base may have been the difference in preventing another tragedy. the clerk tipped off police after abdo asked for advice on building explosives. he tried to buy weapons and six canisters of smokeless gun powder. >> the first red flag is when he asked kathy, "what is smokeless powder?" if you don't know what it is, why would you buy six pounds of it? >> reporter: police tracked abdo to this motel, not far from the army post. a search turned up weapons, ammunition and potential components for building a bomb. authorities arrested abdo just in time, they say. >> we would probably be here today giving you a different briefing had he not been stopped. >> reporter: abdo went awol from the army on t

army captain thanks so much for being here tonight thanks for having me now i know this is something that you're riled up about the media really angry because it sells a huge waste of money and it is tell me exactly what's wrong with this thing why doesn't it work so the army. when they go to actually make a new vehicle has an entire office of people that allegedly will sit down and write the basic requirements must have four wheels internal combustion engine minimal amount of margaret cetera and then it says ok once you've built the thing it has to be able to survive certain types of explosions go up and down hills at certain degrees or cetera but all of a ship and then they go in they build a few prototypes and they put it through its paces well what they found out after the initial testing of all the prototypes is that none of them actually meet all the exposure of. stipulated by the armor and that the weight ratio that would be required to do it made the vehicle to have it for transport on airplanes so the army went back and revised the requirements that they stipulated in the co

these policies from outside activists see the israeli army monstrous army which is not necessarily true its months months chris but not more than any other when they come into conflict with the israeli army especially after one or two of them got killed they became very violent if i was there even seeing. the soldiers shooting and killing people by me i would know very well that it would do very little good if i will try to attack. i will have to be a nonviolent. which means actively make sure that things are calming down but still say say what you want with your body meaning not moving to their orders but not pushing and not touching them why i am not a threat to let me know there is no time that it will actually reach gaza reaching gaza is not the first aim of the first aim of the flotilla is to say something to show that the is under siege illegally under international law that a million people are being starved and shot at and taken their land all the time with. narrowing down their areas that they can get to shooting to death everyone did. six hundred meters from the from the stand

because this is what i grew up on in the army understood that we are speaking in one tongue and doing the other the other way around well we are in the territory we are not fighting for defending our own or fighting to defend an elite jewish. believe that wants to control this place and also not only the duration leave but part of judicially secular specific usually now is being taken by the religious one but after all it's not a fight for for freedom told us it's not a fight for. pay for defending israel the fighting to keep patient is to maintain control over the palestinian people in order a community in political strength and resources when you participated last year was there anything that surprised a not so surprised because of bean activist at least eight years or so in seeing most of what the army can do to. give the most surprising thing was the taser gun a shopping weapon a that was used against my brother a trying to get to his heart we know whatsoever a car from him and he was hugging a friend of yours on the floor here and that lost his daughter you know hamas attack on j

he... he claimed that he was on his way out of the army. so, there was... there was a lot going on. >> the last message i remember seeing from him was something to the effect that there was news that was going to shock the world, and that i would hear about it. >> smith: in late may, a hacker in california was contacted and began a chat with someone using the screen name bradass87. "if you had free reign over classified networks and you saw incredible things, awful things, what would you do?" >> he spoke in hypotheticals, at first. even then, i largely blew it off. there just aren't enough hours in the day to correspond with everybody that wants to correspond with me. >> smith: the hacker, adrian lamo, was well known in the cyber underground. in 2003, he'd been arrested for hacking the new york times. and the day before the chat, lamo was featured in an article on wired.com that discussed his psychiatric problems. bradass87 would keep up his chat with lamo for the next four days. >> he talked a lot about his personal life, about his relatio

all the armies had them. indian calvary that the british brought all the way from india to the western front. the famous luan lancers from germany. maybe i could get a glass of water or a bottle of water or something, if there is one. when the germans invaded france in 1914, the they did so with eight calvary divisions, 40,004 -- horses and you can just imagine how little chance a massive calvary charge had with, you know in the age of modern weaponry. nonetheless everybody practice for the great calvary charges like this british soldier who was drilling here. they anticipated a war that would almost be like knights in armor, like adjusting competition. the idea ideal for -- thanks. the idea of war was very closely allied to images of sport like this. in fact, the first correspondent of the london daily mail sent to the front in 1914 was it sports editor. and of course when they try to do these masses calvary charges they come up against barbed wire, not to mention the machine gun. and of course these ended t

many of the european armies were used to break strikes or the british army, you know, put down tenant farmer rebellions in ireland. and so, therefore, officering the army was something that was generally reserved for people in the upper classes. this meant that when these countries went to war in 1914, these upper classes suffered an enormous toll. for example, more than 30 graduates of eton were killed in a single day the first day of the battle of the sum in 1916. of men who graduated from oxford in if -- in 1913, 31% were killed by the end of the war. a few sort of specific examples, hatfield house -- long one of the great british palatial country estates, queen elizabeth i spent part of her childhood on this estate along the seat of an aristocratic family -- the pay ri ark was prime minister for some years at the turn of the century. he had ten grandsons. five of them were kill inside the war, and one of them, george, is a character in this book. tremendous toll among the children of political and military leaders. prime minister herbert as withof england lost a son. so did his co

in 1914, all of these countries had fairly small standing army, but enormous armies of reservists, you and it took several weeks to fully mobilize your army, get all the reserrists out of the -- reservists off their farms and factories and reunit them to the front. if you start mobilizing your army before the other guy, you had an advantage. similarly, if you could attack first, that meant that the war would be on the other nation easter story, -- territory, and that's what germany and austria, hungary did, and these were things that sort of accelerated that spread, but if we could rewrite history at will so that things could unfold in the way i said a moment ago that i, you know, i think the war was not inevitable, i would have, you know, changed the actions of kyser and austria, hungary, and i think then the war might not have happened. not that there wouldn't have been other wars in europe later on, but i don't think it would have happened in quite the same way. a few more people have questions, but i'm wondering whether we ought to -- one last question, and then i'll be glad to kee

it's eleven years now since the israeli army withdrew from lebanon however the consequences of the war against hezbollah and the palestinian liberation organization are still being felt today members of the south lebanese army are fought alongside their israeli counterparts say the country they backed as let them down. the story. there's only one thing for wise national dreams about and that is to return home but home is southern lebanon and he's stuck here on the other side of the border in northern israel. that's my home five kilometers away eleven years ago for was was one of several thousand christian binny's to flee with the israeli army as it left lebanon for eighteen years the israelis had been fighting the palestine liberation organization and hizbollah on lebanese soil helped by the south lebanon army a militia of christians and jews who controlled the south of the country this old lebanese army didn't fight for israel as a world that is didn't fight for. there was admitting in between them and us that growing domestic pressure in israel over the high losses suffered by the ar
