so he is leading the 11th corps. there is also the first corps and beauford's cavalry outside of gettysburg. meade sends hancock to take command. there is an irregularity to that. hancock is junior in rank to general howard, not by much. i believe they became major generals on the same day, which makes them equal. but i believe howard became a brigadier general before hancock, making him hancock's senior. by the way, this picture, this image shows the two men, hancock and meade, at gettysburg. i'm not saying this illustration intends to illustrate them at tonnytown. it is just a nice image of the two meeting. here is a diagram that intends to be accurate for july 1. we have the confederates attempting to concentrate west of gettysburg. we have the union scattered not very far from gettysburg. what happens is, by the end of the day, only the first corps, which is already fighting, and the 11th corps would reach the battlefield that day to take part in the battle. while roughly the entire confederate army, or almost th

corps would reach the battlefield that day to take part in the battle.oughly the entire confederate army, or almost the entire confederate army gets there first. as confederates get there someone say the firstus with the mostus. outflankght they general barlow, and on the left they gain a very thorough victory, pushing all the union units from the first and 11th corps back into town, a very small town not much more than 3000 inhabitants. now you are talking about 20,000 retreating troops into town and out through south of town, coming up cemetary hill. while hancockcurs is en route to gettysburg. the first order hancock made at gettysburg, he finds wagons on n and gettysburg road, and he orders them south, to get out of the way in case retreat is needed. he is acting like a commander of the field even before he gets there. i have put some circles around the main players here in this what it mayation of have looked like at the evergreen cemetery gate when hancock arrives. he is there appearing to give , ands to general doubleday there is general howard wh

what has happened is long streets corps has pushed ahead. gordon's corps is the rearguard. in the middle you have the anderson boys picket, yule, the , naval brigade about the size actually, drawn from that richmond navy yard and defense batteries. and by the way, the less confederates on the field of five forks to surrender were actually the sailors. they fought to the bitter end. forks, it starts out with custer at his best and he sees a break in the line, as the wagon trains are holding things up. i am simplifying, there is much more detail in the hope. the wagon trains were holding the confederates up and custer sees a chance, as do other, we commanders, and they start gnawing, six charging again and again. they do not let the confederates move forward. so, the confederate center is fixed at five forks. meanwhile, another batch of trains that gordon is supposed to be protecting get ordered off ,o the north toward highbridge and gordon is told to follow the trains, so he follows them, and that opens up the center. immediately, and i am sorry that s earlier, iix corp mean

the marine corps league has been raising money for this. something that you will see in the national park. all of the information will about these two fires. so far we have raised $4500. get $7,500 we can put a nice patio in. once we have enough money we will put it up. if you would like to donate please go to our gofundme page. under hamilton. theirll be able to donate generously agreed we would appreciate anything you can do. if you have any more questions i can show you what it will look like out in the lobby. does anybody have any questions or would like to see anymore slides again? >> going over the north in that exercise? >> when they did the reenactment it was dictated by historical events. when they were fighting the war 1920 to style it was open to whatever tactic they could use. the south of the better tactics going on and were able to pull off a victory. had that been thought again maybe it would have turned out differently. it was not planned that way. it was just how things worked out with the attacking and fighting. it is fun

eisenhower called it the kiddie corps. do you think -- there was a debate about the size -- about the political capital? >> it didn't require a great deal of political capital on his part. there was a cold war component. this was perceived by him and others as a means of waging a cold war. it was not all idealistic motives. there was uncertainty about whether it would succeed and the response you would get run americans. would young people signed up? what would they find russian mark all that was unknown. my sense of research is that he had a faith and advisers around him had a faith that this was an idea they should pursue right away and it was one of those things decided on in the first 100 days. the results speak for themselves. >> he makes a good point when he says that the cold war played into the soft power elements. he was trying to win the hearts and minds of the world and he loved the celebration of art and poetry. there was cold war elements to this. the peace corps was an extraordinary idea and nothing like it h

marine corps, the phrase curse like a sailor doesn't come from nowhere and the marine corps navy. i think that i definitely had to scale back my language. but it's like ingrained in me and i definitely don't always succeed. >> are the marine corps, anded after basic training and then you go to iraq. were you afraid you would come back in one piece or you weren't sure you would survive? >> i think anybody when they are about to deploy to iraq is worried about whether they will come back in one piece. the thing to remember is i had an alaskan military occupation specialty, where we have awesome people in my analyst of combat deaths in combat injuries, but it wasn't -- i wasn't taking quite as much about the danger is maybe it would have been if i was working in the infantry, for example. so i was worried about it, but they also try to talk myself up and recognize it will be dangerous to mr. thing more dangerous than driving down the street, but i'll probably end up okay. >> for four years you're in the military. then you decide you want to go to college. but then you were four years

and i'll never defend the corps of engineers on decisions like this. i think it was a fatally flawed decision. one of the greatest environmental disasters in our nation's history. and the fact that it was carried out by the fegz and yet there are resisting efforts for us to restore the coast, but i do want to make note in the 6 1/2 years roughly when i was working for the state, we did more coastal recent tore rstoration work tha period. we put it up probably 30 or 40 in our state's history. so that is a really important component. next on the oil and gas activities, we have to figure out how to make sure that we can co-exist with our ecosystem and our great fisheries and have our energy production. one of the top fisheries producers, one of the top oil and gas producers in the united states. we can have those thing co-exist. and you're right, dwrenlg dredging out a canal, it was irresponsible and i think to some degree contributed to our coastal loss. and that is why we actually put aggressive management techniques in place to require even greater res

what has happened is long streets corps has pushed ahead. gordon's corps is the rearguard. in the middle you have the anderson voice, picket, yule, the naval brigade about the size of a battalion actually drawn from the navy yard and defense batteries. two surrender are the sailors. they fight to the bitter end. custer is at his best. he sees a break in the line as the light rains are holding things up. s.am simplifying thing the wagon trains are holding things up. they start chewing and fake charge and charge again. they don't get decisively engaged, but they don't let the confederates move forward. the confederate center is fixed at five force. another train that gordon is supposed to be protecting yet ordered off to the north to hybrids, and gordon is ordered to follow the trains, so he follows the trains, and that opens the center. immediately, and earlier i said the sixth corps when i was talking about warren, i met the fifth. apologies. the sixth is coming up. it is his favorite corps. he likes it. he knows it. gordon is pulling off to the north to protect the trains.

i would be encouraged by my cousin rachel in the marine corps. she said if you're worried about how you're going to pay for school and whether you are ready for college, you should just go join the marine corps. you will get out, see some stuff, and he will gain financial independence and you should really go and think about doing that. >> it is definitely a patriotic community so people were proud of me but not especially happy. remember i signed in 2003 where we had been involved in afghanistan for a little whilevr and a there was definitely some apprehension justifiably so about the marine corps command and what i was getting myself into. species responded very negatively. and some ways it is almost a betrayal you were going off and leaving me comments you could get hurt, and that was very hard. >> you went to basic training. what was that like? a >> i was never afraid i couldn't get through. maybe when i was in high school i was afraid of the physical demands and so forth, but they n told me if you think they will be mean, they will be nothin

especially the white house press corps. my recollection, ever called out someone who has crossed the line on a story. i think the undermines -- >> jimmy: is that true? >> i rarely have seen any -- they always have an excuse for why that story, oh, we were going to correct it and we checked with theesrcou nd a now -- and it's never -- there's never an admission of guilt. once in a while you see the little correction, we erred in putting the period here or there. but i do believe that the healthier press corps that we have, the better democracy that we have. >> jimmy: lumping everyone together, though, as fake news, just seems terrible to me. >> sure, but -- >> jimmy: you're a catholic and i'm a catholic as well. i'm offended when people lump all priests together as child abusers. i find that to be unfair to those who aren't. >> i agree. >> jimmy: but -- >> as someone who's a conservative and a republican, i spent 25 years in washington, d.c. being told, conservatives want this. republicans are against this. so i agree. but i

was marine corps salary enough to supplement? >> accommodation of things. no longer getting a salary. little bit of savings, a little bit of debt that i incurred, subsidized loans, had some pell grants, had the g.i. bill which i was trying to save for law school and worked jobs during college or multiple sources of income were enough to get me through. >> you graduate in two years and decide you want to go to law school but there are not as many people going to yale or harvard, ohio state, how did you decide to go to yale law school which is a great law school as opposed to ohio state or some other school in the midwest? >> guest: i wasn't thinking super strategically about it. i apply to law schools, i got into them and was thinking about going to one of those schools and one of my best friends, best man at my wedding absolutely, if you have got good grades and think you can get into a good place, this is 2009 right after the great recession, i have friends from law school who are struggling to find work, you should try to get into the best school you can

some army corps are so decimated they will go out of existence. the other thing that will happen is the high command, abraham lincoln and henry halleck, the chief of staff, will cannibalize the army. so, will robert e. lee's army. so, some elements of the union army that fought it gettysburg will be sent west to fight at the battle of chickamauga in september of 1863. so, george meade is going to, robert e. lee is going to lose part of his army and send it to chickamauga in september. so, robert e. lee's going to send a lot of james long streets guys to georgia in september. george meade is going to lose some of his army, the 11th and 12th corps sent to check a new go later in the fall of 1863. so, you have these two armies, but what's happening is after the battle of gettysburg, after lee retreats, south and west. he's now worried about the mississippi river, tennessee and georgia. so, he'll, and so is the confederate high command. and they all shift their attention from the east to the west. the confederates will send james long street to the we

larger budget than the peace corps did, and in some way is would say my service was even harder.served in this country called yemen, and i was out there by myself. and so there was no camaraderie. so in fact, my service in some ways was harder than not belonging, and even coming back. it's always about the veterans and the service and i go back, i -- i was needed there so greatly provided me that feeling of being needed and that spoke to me there. >> something like a quarter -- thank you for that. and for your service over there. >> thank you. >> in yemen.

i went to join the marine corps and as luck would have it, because sometimes it's better to be luckyr was not in the office of the navy guy was. the only reason i went into the navy was because my marine friends told me something i didn't know, they actually said the marine corps is part of the department of the navy, just the men's department. [laughter] i asked where the marine was and this guy said why do you want the marine. i said i want to be a sniper. he said look no further. we have snipers right here in the navy. you have to figure, i'm a 19-year-old kid from montana who didn't know how to swim. there's not a lot of swimming going on. i'm kind and naÏve. this guy is a professional recruiter. why is he going to lie to me. [laughter] i signed up that day and then we watched the recruiting video after i signed the paperwork. when i thought man i don't know how to swim and i just joined up to be in the navy. i thought it probably wouldn't make it through the navy seal training but at least it's an adventure. in four years i would have see storage. i learned that 95% of the all v

as a pilot project, the marine corps would lead the way. high hopes for a breakthrough were not to be. ten years and five audits later, the marine corps is still stuck on square one. the inspector general and the government accountability office determined that it was never ready for audit. it failed for the same reason as all the other audits failed going back to the term "deal breakers." to make matters worse, there was an attempt to cover up these shortcomings. initially, a clean opinion was issued. the then secretary of defense chuck hagel gave the marine corps an award for being the first service to earn a clean opinion. the opinion did not stand up to scrutiny. the evidence did not meet, quote, unquote, professional auditing standards, so the inspector general had to withdraw it leaving mr. hagel with egg all over his face. the deputy inspector general for audit was removed and reassig reassigned. and the accounting firm involved lost the contract to carney and company where the now chief financial officer mr. norquist was a partner.

chief financial officer to some corp thank you so much for joining us here in the. and of course that still merger is also a major talking point in frank church where danielle corp our correspondent is joining us now daniel what are investors there saying about of the mega merger and what it does to the workforce when investors here at the frankfurt stock exchange are clearly saying that this is a very good idea because we know that the european steel business is so i under pressure because of all this dumping steel coming from china we were a member of that from this year on china's companies do have to pay an extra tax when doing business with the european union and that they also announced in the past that they might close up to six hundred you know steel facilities but still you know it's a business very much under pressure and the idea now to be joining another steel giant experts here clearly say that this is a very good idea but on the other hand you know we do have to talk about the worker unions they have announced that they might even vote against this mer

we are putting the united states army corps of engineers in charge of power restoration. to your question of whether the military is in charge, it depends on the mission and function. the people of puerto rico are strong, confident, and they are in charge. but where they are not able and have diminished capacity, we are taking extreme steps. direct federal assistance orders were given, a mission assignment was given. i have heard others quibble about whether it was a mission or not. the army corps of engineers has been given a mission to restore power on puerto rico, full stop. though those are the big diesel run generators. permanent generation restoration on the island. transmission, lines that transmit power to and from, and the hook up to the houses. those are his priorities, and i am certain that portray can people will see the results. reporter: if airdrops will help, why are they not happening? is it a military issue? mr. bossart: it is my understanding that the government and municipalities have identified ground-based as being best. i want to make sure i don't st

i am certain the puerto rican people will see the result of the army corps of engineers mission. if it airdrop's help, why are those not helping -- happening? that both thelief state government and most of the missa banalities -- municipalities involved have found that ground-based is the best. if that is not the case, i want to make sure i am stepping in's to something, if the ground former has identified an airdrop system, i endorse it from here. i would not question his judgment. it was my understanding they identified the fastest delivery to be through ground-based means by delivering first. they needed security forces and we have applied those. there is a security force plan laid out for each of the drivers that they can feel safe. reporter: several flights have gotten out of florida and managed to get to the island to deliver food and water without having logistical problems. there is criticism coming from florida saying there is mismanagement coming all the way from the president. how do you respond? >> i am not certain who you are talking about or who is criticizing it. i
