braks the bragg and a series of generals threw people at it in frontal assaults. this hornet's nest was surrounded. it started to bend but did not break and the key thing to remember is that the day was getting late and the southerners were evenly matched 40,000 against 40,000. they had surprise and momentum but they had to press the army into the tennessee river because they had 20,000 and walls had 7. they lost a three to six hours there. and albert sydney johnson came over there at 2:00 and said you need the bayonet. and he got on his magnificent horse, fire eater, he charged the hornet's nest and went right through and he came back. and he fell out of the saddle. people thought he fainted. he just dismissed his doctor to help union prisoners and he fell off his horse. nobody knew what was wrong and he died in 15 minutes. his femoral artery had been hit. and it had a very magnetic effect on people. most people at shiloh were being blown apart with disfiguring wounds. albert sydney johnson went to sleep. nobody could see the wound. there was no blood. he drifted

of suicide, but he didn't want to embarrass his family and when albert sidney johnson and braxton bragg decided to destroy the union army, they hit sherman on the right side of the line. he had 7,000 men and he was faced with 20,000 people pushing him at once, and something happened. all of that experience that had been accumulated in his life came to focus right there. unlike other commanders, he did not panic, he became emboldened. he rushed to the front. he organized battalions, he had cannons placed strategically, he lost one horse and then a second shot out from under him. a third horse was shot out from hundred him. bullets riddled his half everyone saw william sherman trying to galvanize this army, when it was all said by noon, they were not cracked. they bent, but did not great. grant met him in the morning and said i never had to worry about sherman. when sherman woke up two daybat, he was a famous american. everything that had happened badly to him, the breakdown, the loss of command, the resignation was completely forgotten, sherman was the man of the hour, and two mysterious

army bass fort bragg.e a speech at the end of the iraq war, he gave it at fort bragg. there's been precisely one civilian community in the united states, one city to do something publicly to mark the end of that war. that was the great city of st. louis, missouri. on january 28th, in st. louis, it was just a couple of local citizens, normal guys, who ignored the politics, paid no mind to the pentagon, called veterans group and put on a parade, organized by civilians for the troops. and 100,000 people turned out in st. louis. and to date, that's it. tomorrow there's another one. we just found out tomorrow in fayetteville, north carolina, a local nonprofit has taken the initiative without anybody else's go-ahead or approval to organize what they're calling a convoy tomorrow in fayetteville to say welcome home, to say we think it's a big deal you served in this war, we think it's a big deal that this war ended and we want to mark it to say thank you and glad your u home. essentially a parade on wheels. the id

confederate victories in the seven days in the second mannasses and the invasion of kentucky by braxton bragg and especially of maryland by robert e. lee's army in september of 1862 revived that prospect of european recognition. in fact, the british and french were prepared to go ahead. but they were just awaiting the outcome of lee's invasion of maryland, and lee's defeat or at least being turned back after the battle of antietan caused them to back off again. so i think there were two points in 1862. the first one was in the spring. and farragut's victory at new orleans was a major factor in causing them to back off then. and then again six months or so later after antietan. the second reason. that turned out to be the closest confederacy ever got to european recognition. >> do you think it was a mistake for farragut to press on to vicksburg as soon as he did after the victories at new orleans? >> i think he thought it was a mistake. but he was under orders to do so. in fact, those orders came thick and fast from the naval department. he had after capturing new orleans he had sent a message

that means for 13 years it is corn to cost more money to have fort bragg then it would if you did note it. having the pentagon suggest two more rounds when it will aggravate the budget situation for 13 years or at least a decade leaves me scratching my head a little bit. i think it is important to note it does not even break even for a decade, which is problematic. another thing that leads me scratching my head these days is the reports that the military and the administration are looking at substantial cuts to our nuclear deterrence. under start, we will end up with about 1500 weapons. there is consideration of cutting that 80% down to 500 let us say for rounding. that is being generous. it seems to me we end up with 500 nuclear weapons and another country has a couple of hundred. all the incentive in the world is for them to catch us, because it is not that far and not that hard for them to do. i would appreciate your best military judgment on whether cuts of 80% in our nuclear stockpile really are good for the national security of the united states. >> i will not comment on the 80%
