now claire mckas kel is hopping mad about this.n the past few minutes she has said this whole scandal involving the army is discouraging and depressing. take a look. >> even one case of fraud would have been too many. instead we now know that thousands of service members, their families and friends may have participated in schemes to defraud the government they served, and the taxpayers. >> reporter: well the scheme actually ended in in 2005, but as you can see there's a lot of anger in that room as a result of what is coming to light. >> john, do we know why the program was needed in the first place? >> well, 2005 was the heart of the iraq and afghanistan war. it's very difficult to recruit people to the army, much less so than the navy and air force, i think for obvious reasons. you are actually on the ground, there is very, very high risk of being killed or badly injured, and i think that is the reason why this scheme got off of the ground, and they were trying to get as many people as they could into the services, because they

i think that's why you saw senator claire mccaskill come out very early for her. she was a seven on the hit list. i don't think she was worried. she knew the hatred from the clintons still exists. so i think she tried to get out early and say i am supporting you guys. >> it's interesting when eg we talk about, you talking about this book in terms of the rebirth but also state secrets. in other words the job of secretary of state is so crucial to a potential 2016 run. you write in the book about her approach to the job, and this will be instructive when you debate whether she's a hawk or a dove but also the issues like benghazi. here's what you write about a bias for action. hillary also harbors a related trait that one source calls a bias for action which influences her decision making process. it can be seen in her approach to going after bin laden, her building of a coalition to 0 intervene in libya and she encourages her aides to innovate and improvise. she also felt in benghazi, the state department had to be there whatever the risks. that's going to be real f

senator claire mccaskill had a hearing on it the other day. these are not things many branches of the military like to expose. they tend to come out drip, drim, drip, sometimes with reporters, sometimes with congress, and it takes a while to figure out the scope of them. >> ifill: that's what freedom of information acts are all about. is this something the top brass or the civilian brass is eroding public confidence in the military? >> it is, and it was pretty striking today to hear the pentagon secretary come out and say defense secretary chuck hagel is worried about the moral character of the force. those are very powerful force but especially in the military where honor and integrity are really the core of when they do. the public holds these commanders and enlisted people in very high esteem for what they do. when the top man in the pentagon says he's concerned about the moral courage, moral character of the force, and how big of a problem it is, that's pretty soors. >> ifill: is this something which multiple deployments can exacerbate? >>

and you heard claire mccaskill very clear, no, i don't necessarily want the president there. >> i thinkt running, wherever they are running, the secret is going to be to communicate personally to voters, to make sure voters understand their story, and also know and make sure voters know that the candidate understands them, that the candidate really cares about what voters are going through, and that's something that democrats in purple states, red states, blue states, have a very clear advantage over republicans on. republicans favorability as a party is just been sinking. it's lower than democrats' popularity. republicans in congress and the republican-led congress have record-low approval ratings, so i think democrats are going to have a lot of strength just in the image to both parties. >> is the president kryptonite to some of these candidates? >> i don't think the president is kryptonite. a lot of these candidates have had and will continue to have points of differentiation between themselves and the president and that's typical in these more republican-leaning or purple states, an
