. >> what was the problem with the battalions, the iraqi military battalions that basically turned tail and ran away with isis? >> there are issues with our military capabilities. there were issues with that. now it's being addressed. we've drastically changed our leadership and the combat, the mobilization of the pem. we're looking at that. there are lessons to be learned certainly, but the need from the u.s. is not for combats. we usually pay for these services anyway. we pay. so we're not asking for military aid. we're asking for supporting us in our fight against terrorism, our common fight. >> what kind of help are you getting from russia and iran? >> the russians have been supportive. they've listened and they have been sort of appreciating the situation we're in. >> have they sent any hardware or helicopters? >> they have sent hardware ask, armed helicopters and fighter planes. more are coming in. obviously their advice will accompany that. as far as iran, we've requested support what they have learned in syria with relation to their experts in relation to how to combat isil and

>> our entire battalion had been facing enemy attacks all year long for that entire deployment so i don'ti certainly didn't feel any more vulnerable there than i did any other point in my deployment. >> woodruff: on a ridge to the east of the main base, sergeant pitts and others manned a surveillance system, seen here in a photo taken on july 12. just after four the next morning, their situation took a dramatic turn. >> it started with a machine gun burst from the north and they had moved in with approximately 200 fighters at a high ground, element of surprise, had us surrounded. and they initiated a large scale attack on us. we had about 48 americans on the ground as well as 20 to 30 afghan national army soldiers. >> warner: grenade shrapnel hit sergeant pitts in both legs and his left arm, but he and his fellow soldiers fought on. >> that valor was everywhere. i mean it was incredible to see these guys, i mean we were all young. and everybody just doing their jobs without anybody having to be told and just trusting one another that we would do our jobs. allowing reinforcements and air s

you have two books with the same battalion. >> yeah. so one difference is i have one not in journalism, it's not journalism where something happened and then i go and do interviews and try to write the story of what happened. i wish i could do that but that's not the move i have. the one i have is a moment arrives which i think is interesting and i want to be there and spend time to watch the story unfold. so in 2007 when i did my first book, the moment that arrived was commit seem to be a lost moment of the iraq war, perhaps a tragic moment. and that's when president bush announced this new thing, the surge. and into the surge went and army infantry battalion, 800 soldiers, most deploying for the first time heading overseas, 19, 20 year old guys. i wanted to use the war to write something that felt bigger about what happens to the young man who goes into a war at such a moment. and so they went and off i went with him to see what happens. spent about a year on the ground within an iraq. >> you were on such a deployment, could you come

there, and that was fuelling a lot of the fire, pge was able to get that gas meter shut off, the battalion chief informed me they are going to have to stay, they being pge, will have to dig into the street so they can access the main gas line. they want to shut that off as well to be on the safe side. they don't know what damage was done to the august zil ri line that was sent to the restaurant. . appears that the front of the restaurant is not what's on fire. it looks like it's the back of the restaurant. a building that's attached to the front of the restaurant. this started around 4:20 this morning, someone walking by saw the flames, called 911. fortunately the station is just a block or two away. they were here on the scene quickly. you mentioned the one firefighter was hurt. the chief terms us that he tripped over a hose line while fighting this fire. either looked like the rest are possibly his ribs were hurt. he's been treated on the scene and as far as i can tell, i don't know, he might have been transported, but he is expected to be okay. here you can see the santa clara county fi

battalion and the second one did not. so it is a long, slow process and will be welcomed by the survivor families. >> let's just put it this way. they were in at best an insidious position. and undefendable position? >> they were in a very difficult position. i know they were demoralized, i know a u.n. officer who visited them, and they had very few of them, much more than 300. but all the same, they did nothing. there was -- what was it called? u.n. protection force. there was no protection going on. there was no deterrence going on. it could have been avoided. they were not just the dutch. there were 30,000 u.n. troops in bosnia at the time of this disaster. so i think all western democracy showed a degree of guilt. >> this pins down on 300 who were killed, specifically. that still leads this vast field of people whose families will still feel, well, we haven't got any justice. >> that is true. i go back quite often, the bitterness is there, the anger is there, the grief will never be resolved. i think this is -- this g

service to look at offshore profits from corporations, however, the most pro tem solution that is the battalion proposal from the senate see to raise the tax by $0.12 for transportation and we're hoping that carries forward with other additional support from the administration and congress to avoid the last minute crisis we may face this summer in the highway trust fund is not replenished we've seen meetings we thank the board for hosting the revenue proposals meetings and the general obligation program supervisor avalos spoke about the robust discussions from the citizens and the stakeholder and community members and if those proceeds made it with board approval this fall. the active transportation program at the state level had a deadline and san francisco has submitted a large application for consideration by the california go transportation commission those are funds for bicycling and traffic safety and it is exactly what we heard from the neighbors. those $11 million of fund support vision zero and the bay area trail project and the safe is routes to school our recreational committee inclu

highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, company c, second battalionirborne, 503rd infantry regiment, 173rd airborne brigade and the united states army. [ applause ] >> we have been watching the medal of honor ceremony being awarded to sergeant ryan pitts there in the east room of the white house. our colonel jack jacobs is still with us. colonel, you did, as we mentioned earlier, interview sergeant ryan pitts there and his wife. tell us about what we just saw there in terms of the import of this ceremony and also more broadly, we talk a lot in our politics about the cost of these wars in iraq and afghanistan and whether we all bear them equally and whether we take the time to think about the people lost. we heard there from the president and in your discussion with sergeant pitts a lot of discussion about those who didn't make it out of this battle. >> yeah, well, we don't bear the burden equally. you know, you look at somebody who believes in universal service, and i came into the army barely 20 years after the end of the second world war. at a time
