the the ground army won the russians lost and the russians lost because they had to retreat they had to leave the field of battle the polling was left holding it and then he had an unimpeded way on and to moscow russia and say it was well at least it was a draw but we had to treat because otherwise it would have lost his army because i say something close to the i say the in the polling clearly won but that it didn't matter because because there was really nothing that was going to happen in his favor ok he gets to moscow had moscow not been burned by the by the russians which was a very smart move in my opinion for them to do that he might have winter there got reinforcements it might have been ok but between being bloodied badly burra deano and then not really being able to effectively stay involved i wouldn't know that russia wants or you know this is a major reason for that is aster however. what's not as well known is that the russian summer extremely hot actually caused a lot of casualties caused a lot of horses to die had a lot of men to die there was there were there were pro

one of our invaded russia the russian army made the french just drive away from the capital which at that time was the st petersburg after a bloody battle near moscow napoleon captured the city but the russian. and the french were forced to retreat fiasco of the russian campaign was the turning point of napoleonic wars in europe it's against the french forces severely shook the emperor's reputation so what. and why is the loser still considered the great. discuss the. president. in the beginning of the nineteenth century up to napoleon had conquered a large part of europe he himself was considered a monster and even a song about two centuries and added years to him have changed dramatically in the west a lot of historians consider him a remarkable military figure and compare him to alexander the great and julius caesar to david mark him as one of those who have dedicated themselves to napoleonic history he's one of the most competent experts in this field and head of the international napoleonic society. who welcomes the show thank you. great pleasure to be here thank you very much f

to get him out of the army. to laying out. the mental health evaluation also put to rest the rumors surrounding john's death. row due to the unexpected nature of his suicide special stores this case attracted a number of rumors suggesting a cover up most of which were dispelled in the course of the investigation. rumors that lee's had sent him a dear john letter were unfounded and surfaced as a means of explaining his suicide. allegations of rampant drug trafficking with the theory that specialist tours was murder because he knew too much were dramatic over embellish ment's who sources included individuals associated with the two females who actually were sent back for alyssa drug use. somebody you know they don't know they don't know what they did. they come and say you lost your son in them a week or two weeks later they say oh you know once your son killed himself. you know what they this. was i work in some pain to your sixteen eighteen hours because we need the support my family support the futile make kids other finally

when i received the news for the army about my son supposedly commits suicide in also or can believe all received a lot of phone calls for the from friend who is a stay in the same bays in the same group and guns. i know who is my son i know hundred percent sure you can never commit suicide but they are mean and yes. i think hundred percent. in my personal and all the friends family in general you know people real who who is my son he was my son. with in the army they covered up the other thirty four my personal opinion somewhere in kill myself he said to be americans he could have base in bagram afghanistan. on july twelfth two thousand and four army reservist john torre's was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head his body was discovered in a latrine at bagger merrifield in afghanistan where he'd been deployed for nearly a year twenty five years old and an eight year veteran of the army reserves john called his mother and girlfriend on saturday july tenth to tell them is unit replacement arrived and that he would be home in two weeks three days later his mother was notified of h

army can read and write. so literacy is not such a small thing but there are illiterate soldiers in both said they are harder to get that. there are people that the regiment to write for of the writ soldiers there were the least likely to deliver it of course of black soldiers so they are the hardest to get at. they're the ones that need the most digging and a couple of ways to get at those. one is the same way somebody in the regimen could write and vote for others. the other is that the soldiers could write often wrote into the northern black newspapers and so there are columns of the black soldiers letters and northern black newspapers and i got them that way. sometimes black soldiers will hold public meetings and together -- all soldiers to this -- will say things we believe together and they will write this down and record averitt or reaction. it's not the same as writing to your sister it's the voice somehow and so those are the soldiers that are there, probably there because the army but i have to it m

as far as the army is concerned not sure about the navy or the air force but far as the army is concerned they've moved to what's called combat teams brigade combat teams with a never gate combat team you'll have a brigade surgeon never forgave certain commute captain or major well the battalion commander is a lieutenant colonel the brigade commander is a colonel all out rank the brigade surgeon brigade surgeon will make recommendations to the battalion commander or brigade commander but that's all the our recommendations the brigade commander doesn't have to follow the recommendations or the battalion commanders not to follow the recommendations i know from my personal experience i was a trial counsel for several years meaning that as a military prosecutor i was in charge of prosecuting crimes that occurred within a particular brigade and as a result i would have direct contact the brigade commanders the battalion commanders the company commanders. i also would attend staff meetings and i saw the interaction between the brigade commanders battalion commanders and the staff and i think th

here to update us on the future of army electronic warfare is the chief of army electronic war fir, -- warfare, the colonel. >> thank you. >> i asked the jen about the enduring lessons of iraq and afghanistan. what are the lessons from these wars that are applicable to the future or the challenges we're looking at fundamentally different if we look at china, you know, -- or iran or russia or any other country in which we might come into potential friction with. >> great question. thanks. i think the endearing lesson from the last ten years of conflict is that the army must have an organic electronic warfare capability that is available to the maneuver -- commander 24 hours a day, seven days a week. the reliance on the joint community, although the joint community provides an outstanding electronic warfare capable for what it is designed to do, it is not sufs for -- sufficient for the ground maneuver commander and the army ground maneuver commanders need to gain an advantage in the magnetic spectrum 24 hours a day, seven day as week. i think that's the lesson. >> are the natures of the

army the syrian official army just like what has been happening in the past months but it is definitely have really aren't enough to harm civilians and to endanger the lives of many syrian people. these countries keep sending money and weapons and also what they call logistics support or means of communication which are used to mainly to broadcast atrocities they commit against civilians and while the. countries know this is no match for the syrian army poses a very serious question what exactly do you want by sending these and that's what it is and now very briefly because we are running out of time i do want to get this last question in turkey and its western allies are now pushing for foreign protected safe zones inside syria it's a move that would certainly amount to foreign intervention now on kata says it needs to protect civilians what's your take on that. it's actually funny how can you protect civilians by imposing war you want to protect civilians you have to stop for and stop the war starts with stopping the influx of the influx of. money to the rebels and the fact that they

an army psychiatrist who serving with the two fifty fourth medical detachment at baghran when john died the c. id report stated that john committed suicide is the result of anxiety and unresolved sematic pain but according to major n's lee's evaluation his sematic anxiety symptoms are not sufficiently severe based on objective findings to precipitate such an extreme response his psychological stressors are likewise mild especially in contrast to the very promising future that would have begun in earnest in just two months with relatively minimal psycho social factors present a biological basis may be the primary precipitant if toxicology reveals the presence of mefloquine specialist tours this case should be viewed in light of other suicides suspected to be associated with the drug that document is the first military document i have ever seen that seems to suggest that the army was aware that lariam may be causing suicides in the field and they were tracking and i've never seen that before i've only seen the army say that there's absolutely nothing to this that linus is safe is aspirin

travels on its stomach. >> right. >> no food, no ammunition, no fighting army. if you go into a skyscraper in manhattan, a high floor, and look across the hudson river to the west, craning your head from left to right you will see low ridges, 30 or 40 miles out in new jersey. look to the right, it's the mountains in southern new york and then further to the right up the river it's the hudson highlands. from 1776 until 1782, most of the revolution in the middle atlantic states was a stalemate. the british occupying manhattan and george washington's army stretched from peakskill, new york, all the way down to middlebrook, new jersey, and neither side really for various reasons wanted to have it out with the other side. the supplies for all those military people in those hills in new jersey crossed the hudson river north of west point. and west point, which is up on a high bluff where the river makes a very sharp, two very sharp turns, had a chain built across it all for the purpose of keeping the very powerful british they navy from going upr beyond west point whe

is the free syrian army the people who carried out that attack on their army and who is the free syrian army anyway i know people that oppose us had all their lives they are against the free syrian army and it is interesting to see what the tactics of this nebulous group obviously now like to al-qaeda what their tactics are going to be they obviously have no compunction of killing civilians and it is a war i think everyone watching the syrian conflict ration has to decide which side they're on you can be balanced or impartial about a war right it is a war which side are you on if the violence and terror attacks do you finally force assad to step down will the rebels be able to restore peace in the country. the rebels have no chance i think of taking over the country but again i mean with this press t.v. journalist. it is that idea that i think every one of your viewers should think about martha gellhorn that. journalist said objectivity is no place for the war and it's a very sad time for journalists in syria today thank you very much author and journalist afshin rattansi always good to

it's making a great impact on civilians yes but not on the syrian army there are numerous reports as well as eyewitness accounts suggesting that fighters even jihad is for many of the countries we've been reporting this along the way involved in the syrian conflict from what you've seen and heard how widespread you think it is quite widespread we have been posting. quite a large amount of evidence that jihadists are there and they are not shy about it. they are there and even the syrian opposition they started to applaud their presence and one of the syrian opposition figures called i mean compared them to give are. trying to give them the legitimacy of us being. international fighters years that are a lot of jihad is and they are not hiding themselves they are there they are saying they are there and everybody knows they are there or i think your thoughts not appreciated dr mohammed and his word chief of the assyrian tribune thank you very much and so far the u.s. has limited itself to calling for arming syrian rebels without taking any official action itself it's made no promises t

its graduates -- its top graduates were neither into the army corps of engineers for the army topographicalineers. they were part of the finest, most highly trained engineers in the country. it would've been foolish for them to stay in the army. meigs made $1800 a year, which even then was not much money. now there were two things about him that were important. first was that the answer to jefferson davis. he didn't answer to the president. and jefferson davis was not somebody wanted to mess with. he was known as a ferocious advocate in favor of slavery, but anybody who knew him from congress, either as a senator or a house member knew that he was also a vicious insider, very clever bureaucrat and tremendous protector of turf, hulled crutches capable of towering rages. if you caught us that i'd come you never cut off his bat site and he had a hair trigger temper and was willing -- which went off at the slightest provocation. so you go from walter, whose protect your with millard fillmore, a disappearing wake and you come to montgomery c. meigs, the 36 captain. somebody comes up to meigs and
