caller: the hiring practices down and before bragg area, with the va in this area, with the veteransare supposed to be hired and have preference and stuff, i just retired but we would have females and it is a lot of reverse racism. females would be hired and have no veteran preference at all. i know a lot of guys and females would be put in for these jobs and would not get these jobs and then all of the sudden, these females would be brought into these positions and have no veterans preference at all. it is reverse racism. host: -- guest: i cannot comment on the merits of fort bragg, but we as a country have to discrimination, race, age discrimination, we have enacted laws about the fair wages that we pay people and when they are entitled to overtime. the fact of the matter is, all of those have been inactive for societal reasons. it is up to our administrative agencies, our court at the federal and state level, to vigorously enforce those laws because that is when we all prosper most. host: judy conti, a daughter of bacile coordinator -- federal advocacy coordinator. >> looking at a

bragg were in this, and how much of that was perhaps not known by secretary of state and others. believe me, ed, i've been there. i know how these things go down. i wonder how fast the information did get in given that there were other bureaucracies involved in it who may be willing to hide their dirty laundry and even their involvement. so this is the kind of thing that, for example, the bay of pigs, you don't find out until 1998 all the details about something that happened in 1961. but none of this -- >> yeah. >> -- none of this stopped the nation in the way that mccain, gram, inhofe, cruz and others want to, particularly with confirming one of the most important ministers in the government, the secretary of defense. >> tonight msnbc, this network will air "hubris: selling the iraq war." here is what you said the day congress passed a resolution authorizing bush to attack iraq. >> powell walked into my office, and without so much of a fare thee well, he walked over to the window and said "i wonder what will happen when we put 500,000 troops into iraq and comb the country and f

then we will see if we can continue to ensure the readiness of the global response force at fort bragg. we will have to take some immediate steps to reduce expenditures and plan for budgetary shortfalls. we will curtail training for 80% of all our force. we have canceled all but one of our brigade level training center rotations for non- deploying forces. training camp cuts will impact our fighting skills. it will reduce shortfalls across other specialties, including aviation, intelligence, engineering, and our ability to recruit new soldiers into the army. we will reduce work at our depots, which will delay the reset of our equipment coming out of iraq and afghanistan. we will furlough up to 251,000 of our civilians for up to 22 days, terminate nearly 31 employees, and 5,000 workers at our depots. and the list goes on and on. i am touching on just a few of the impacts that will cause us to make some of these difficult decisions over the next seven months, because of this bermuda triangle of uncertainty that we have had in the budget, specifically in fiscal year 2013. in the longer ter

during the clinton years, when i was a brigade operations officer in fort bragg we felt the cuts there because we didn't have enough money to repair parts for your equipment. did you not have enough for ammunition so you can go out and properly certify and train your crews and artillery officer so these things are going to be felt in the united states military. which if you understand the preeminent responsibility of the federal government to provide for the defense so we can have the lib bertie for the people. and it was for the budget and the democrats and republicans voted nobody wanted to see the 30 million wasted. why can't we did that with all the other incredible waste in this town. >> well, it's interesting to say, you would think that a guy that served 22 years in the united states military sitting on armed house services committee he would look at it as a sacred cow. here is something near and dear to me, i have relatives in the military, but we could find saving. if we had every member of the senate and house, in their district, doing what we did. and i don't think you had'd

for a time, the commanding officer at the base at fort bragg where jim was assigned to vietnam was always thee, a shoulder for alice to lean on, somebody providing the support that she needs. alice, if you want to go anything, to any social events, st let me know. but if you're in the military, it's a transient life and soon after several month, the commanding officer reassigned, a new commander officer came in, didn't quite knoll her story. neighbors would come home from work, have warm reunions and alice could spy from her close quarters. e lived on base. and she found herself increasingly helpless to handle the situation. a woman who helped her out, jean ledbetter had lost her husband in vietnam about six mnths later. the two of them met and were, again, support for each other. but jean soon learned at her husband had been lost and she would be moving off post. so, another support for alice was gone. jim thompson, soon after his capture, was tortured for a statement. he didn't write the statent. he signed the statement. he then read the statement a lot of prisoners of war had been tort

i mean, how do you furlough the people that run dining facilities at fort bragg, north carolina or infghanistan? by the way, we've got a $6 billion a month war going on. so look, larry, at the end of the day i would argue this is appalling bad management. sure, you can get money out of the defense budget. but do it rationally in two, three, five years. >> all right. that may be. and i speak as a hawk here. but i'm interested in the budget. a lot of people think, general, that the civilian workforce has just grown too large during these wars and as we wind down the wars we should wind down the civilians. a lot of people think there are too many military bases, too many troops in europe, for example. a lot of people think that the whole pension and health care benefit system in the pentagon needs to be overhauled and that these are where major savings are and that's where we should aim for, that the pentagon cannot be immune from this exercise. >> i wouldn't disagree at all. i think you can debate what kind of military defense strategy you wish, what kind of forces you plan on having, t

i was just at fort bragg a couple weeks ago and discuss this. it is a priority to we are counting on these individuals. we are really looking to the special operations forces. and it just seems incongruous to me that we think we can count on that. at the same time we are looking at a 20% cut. >> there is plenty of incongruent vehicle around and i would only add to it with the deputy secretary said. in the first round of these cuts, we did advance the special operations. but of sequestration occurs in the magnitude we are discussing, everyone will be affected. we have to maintain the joint force of conventional and unconventional capabilities. >> well, obviously -- special operations forces to rely heavily, as you're saying, for the significant enabling support, including the intelligence surveillance reconnaissance medical evacuation and logistics. the general and the admiral, i'm running out of time. as representatives of the military services, how would that impact your ability for your services to provide these critical enabling capabilities

guest: i obviously cannot comment on the merits of what is going on in fort bragg. i will say this.as a country have laws about gender discrimination, race, age discrimination. laws about fair wages that repay people and when they are entitled to overtime. the fact of the matter is, all of those have been enacted for very important societal reasons. it's up to our administrative agencies, our courts on the federal and state level to vigorously enforce those laws, because that is when we all prosper most. host: judith conti with the national employment law project , their federal advocacy incorporator. nelp.org is their web site. thank you. guest: it was a pleasure. host: coming up, we will talk about the future of the republican party with peter weiner, the senior adviser and speechwriter for the romney 2012 campaign. later on, efforts to strengthen and modernize or security. our conversation with david silverberg will take place later. first, a news update from c-span radio. >> its dave clarke 32 eastern. president obama traveled to minneapolis today to talk about his anti-gun viol

i was just down at fort bragg a couple of weeks ago in discussing now. it is a priority. >> it just seems incongruous to me that it seems that we can count on that, yet we are looking at a 24% cut. >> there is plenty of incongruity to go around. on the topic of sequestration. i would only add to it with the debt the deputy secretary said. in the first round of these cuts, 487 billion-dollar budget control act, we did advance it to the special operations. but if sequestration occurred in the magnitude that we have discussed, everyone will be affected. we have to have a joint force of conventional and unconventional capabilities. >> yes, special operations forces to rely heavily, as you were saying, on the general purposes counterparts for the significant enabling support, including the intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance and logistics. general ray odierno and general amos, i am running out of time. as a representative of these military services, how is sequestration -- how would that impact your ability for your services to provide these critical

we took that operation to the special forces command in fort bragg, north carolina.went over it minutely and said with the material we had to work with they could not do a better job than we had done in putting that together. >> alisyn: given your experience in the cia with john brennan. what do you think of him becoming the head of the cia. i think the bigger picture is more important, he's been deliberately deceitful in describing to the american people the kind of threat we're facing from the islamic world. he has said the term jihad should never be used for the people we're fighting because jihad is somehow a self-improvement program or kind of a community rotary club that tries to improve living conditions in a community. and of course, if you look at those documents of islam, of the koran and of the sayings and traditions of the prophet muhammad, far more than 90 references to the jihad are m martial, are military in nature. if you put a map up from 2001, just a simple political map and one of 2013, and colored in the areas where islamist power, al-qaeda power,

american agricultural productivity, through the roof, as farmers bragg.hey tell me about their yield per acre come out and is 10 times what it is in africa, and how they are able to do things when never even dreamed of doing. it is incredible to see. one of the drawbacks of our productivity is 1% of the american population feeds the other 99%. the consumers now are far separated from the producer, and he or she does not understand what it takes to get the product fresh to the supermarket. a few years back, lays potato chips reworked their packaging to include an image of a potato being sliced into potato chips. they did that because they conducted a survey in which one/third of respondents said lays potato chips were not made from potatoes. talk about not knowing where your food comes from. but imagine the public has become wary of our food supply. many fear the role of science and our feet, even when there is evidence of the benefits that i have just attempted to describe. the golden rice story represents a good example. developed over a decade ago, gold
