and the budget of the peace corps has been consistently cut because that it doesn't have the r.-a that it once did i have seen a lot of peace corps volunteers in the last few years they still are doing a terrific job out there versus in the in the essential american values of friendship and openness and collaboration so it's still there thank goodness it hasn't disappeared even though there are far fewer volunteers than they were even twenty years ago but we moving a little farther into the sixty's you were. lyndon johnson's press secretary is from sixty five to sixty seven in the white house and if the reports that i've read are correct in october of sixty seven you told an audience in cambridge the lyndon johnson saw the war in vietnam as his major legacy and as a result was insisting on victory at all costs even in the face of public opposition in your opinion is president obama now doing the same thing in afghanistan. but i think he's made the same mistake that in the johnson made in thinking that escalating the number of troops he could find a he could ultimately triumph th

you can access the marine corps documents. we do not speculate and i work timeline is factual. -- out timeline is factual. we would like to take a step in the right direction to rectify the situation. camp lejeune is the biggest documented contamination record available. some groups have expressed a lack of support for one bill when it is introducing years ago. much has come to light since then. significant discoveries of previously undisclosed documents show that the navy estimates that the contamination on the pace was far greater than imagined in 2009. one navy document states that the toll losses from underground storage tanks could have reached beyond 1 million gallons and produced a known carcinogen. i would think that anyone here today that found out the water they had been drinking contained gasoline would find that a little alarming. there are over one and 70,000 members of the cablevision a community, to have registered with a ring -- camp lejeune community, who have registered with the marine corps. i have been meet

the army air corps was all white. the only african-americans who had positions in the army air corps worker looks, janitors, security personnel who guarded the fence around the base. the generals in charge of the army air corps like that way. they had come up in world war i when the army air corps was all white. that was the world they knew. they liked it that way and expected to stay that way. they had no plans whatsoever to include african-americans in any way in their branch of the service. they had some research backing them up. following world war i they commissioned a study called the use of negro man power in war that was meant to study are african-americans performed in world war i and to use that research in planning for the next war. this was created in 1925 but still form the basis of army human resources policy as late as 1939-1940. it began under the terms of the constitution the negro has the rights of citizenship and as evidence he must bear his share of the war. it continues the negro is physically qua

i decided that i was going to get out of the marine corps.s persuaded by a good friend sergeant major ellison in afghanistan. and he ended up getting killed and i ended up going to his funeral and a friend in second battalion fourth marines hung himself in the basement of his home. that kind of got me twirling out of control just before i was going to get out of the marine corps. and then finally on march -- i got discharged in february, 2007, and then on march 23rd, 2007, my brother who was also in the marine corps, he hung himself in the basement of his home. and at that point i think i decided i was going to do everything to avoid pain. that i was going to do everything to deal with it myself as i had been doing for the last three or four years. and i got into drugs. i got into alcohol. i got into whatever it was that would mask the pain that day. eventually i attempted to kill myself. i ended up in the st. cloud va medical center about 48 hours in lockout and then i was released and off to do whatever it is that i wanted to do which was g

she joined the peace corps in 2004. on her first day as a peace corps volunteer in bangladesh, a group of men started sexually groping her as she was walking to the house that she was to live in. but no one in the peace corps did anything about this assault. she told the peace corps staff over and over again that she felt unsafe in bangladesh and the situation she was in, but the peace corps didn't do anything. months later she came in contact with the same men who then kidnapped her. they beat her, they sexually assaulted her, but they weren't through. they abandoned her and threw her in an alley somewhere in bangladesh. and no one did anything. according to jess the peace corps did everything they could to cover this up because they seem to be more worried about american relationship with bangladesh than they were about this american volunteer that was assaulted and victim of crime. jess says that the peace corps not only didn't do anything, they blamed her for the conduct of herrings. -- of others. they blamed her fo

>> we are working with the corps. i think the answer to that in the short term is yes, but there is another piece of that. when we do our maps, we only look at previously accredited levies. we are currently working on and are submitting for review and ability to actually map the existing structure as is so that where we have structures that may not be accredited but are there, we will no longer take the position that we are going to zero them out and map without the structures. that process will be going down through internal review. we think in another 30-40 days it will be external. we will be using what is fair versus the standard assessment. unless you have accredited levy, we will only look at that structure. we will then map what that risk looks like. >> are we talking about the same thing with accreditation and certification? >> yes. >> good enough. what about levees that had been previously certified? by the way, i appreciate that answer and the work. what about the levees that had been certified before? in my

miller corps or corps was founded by joseph corps who became very wealthy on this and he along with the koch brothers and richard mellon scaife were the initial funders of things like the heritage foundation and major republican foundations that ultimately brought to power people like scott walker and the republicans in the state it was kinds. no irony in words. let's be clear these folks never believed in capitalism they never believed in free enterprise what they believe in is a monopolistic situation and make sure that they always win and the way they do that is by buying power and scott walker is really at the forefront of their national project he is somebody who with his legislative allies and fitzgerald brothers who run on the assembly and state senate in wisconsin is entirely willing to craft a budget who signed to reward all of their page of campaign contributors in this craft brewing issue is really just one easy to understand example of how it works but there are literally dozens throughout the budget it's incredible now if we just shift to the primaries here are the election

marine corp. i actually have plans for one of the buildings. not the one that i worked on. i got the other plans and when i found out i had the wrong plans i gave them to the owner of the other building and similar and built for world war ii and one of the fascinating things instead of stairs in the buildings they have spiral slides so in an emergency you didn't run down the stairs and told the guy to hop in the slide and out the building and that was their emergency e aggress. >> and they're designed if there an explosion it doesn't blow the walls out. and one of my favorite is the old pump station and now used as the headquarters of the fire department and one thing that makes this -- dare i say odd building and has live tidal sea water from the cove. >> the bu bay used to be right about there. >> the bay was about a couple hundred yards away -- maybe 800-yards away and so there is now an under ground i have duct that -- via duct that brings this here and can take water from the bay and into the high pressure system for most earthquake or fire protection. >> if they ran o

patton use to claim that bradley and his corps commanders were somewhat timid. rivalry didn't just start because of their general outlook of audacity versus prudence. it extended to their methods. these guys had different approaches. bradley's father was a schoolteacher and patton was a polo player and they had two different mindsets. here's how the book goes through the different thought processes bradley and patton had. tactics to omar bradley was a mathematical problem solving. like a scholar working and algebraic proof brad took the known x and what factors and use them to derive the field operation. if everyone did their job the course of events would fall into place naturally and predictably. the secret to brad's success, the engine of his genius was his ability to grab all parts of the equation on a monstrous moving battlefield and derive from them a plan in which the foot soldier could have confidence. patton by contrast would never think of putting his staff in the driver's seat and sitting back like a figurehead. driven by a sense of self aggrandizemen

the army corps of engineers say they'll increase the flow coming from local dams. it's a move they say they have to make. many people here along the river, lester, just hope the levees hold. >> miguel almaguer tonight, thank you. >>> overseas arabs mark this day as the setback. their defeat by israel in the 1967 middle east war. and to mark the occasion, palestinian activists tried to break through the border today between syria and the israeli controlled golan heights. israel ended up firing across the border, killing at least 14 people. we get more tonight from john ray of our british partner, itn. >> reporter: israel had promised to defend its disputed border with determination and restraint. it soon became clear that meant firing on apparently unarmed protesters. they were pinned down, trying to breach israeli razor wire and a deep trench. the injured hauled back up steep slopes into syria. an angry and bloody standoff that continued as casualties on the arab side mounted. all afternoon this narrow valley has echoed to the sound of sporadic gunfire. coming from

marine corps has unveiled a new transport aircraft it plans to deploy at its bases in its southernmost prefecture of okinawa next year. okinawa is home to u.s. forces in japan and there is a growing concern over the aircraft's safety record. the mba-22 osprey was shown to japanese journalists at marine corps air station in miramar in california where 25 of them have already been deployed. it can turn rotors upward for vertical takeoff and landing and fly twice as fast as a conventional helicopter. the u.s. marines took the journalists on a routine flight over a residential area and said there have been no complaints about noise from residents in california. they also demonstrated a flight simulator used for actual training and stressed that the computer controlled osprey is far safer than conventional helicopters. >> it's going to balance the flight for you. it's going to put the nose where it needs to . it's going to do a lot of things for you that previously was done almost exclusively by the pilot. it's going to be mechanically quieter and it's going to be quieter from the fact it g

i would like to begin by giving you a sense of what the army air corps as it was known in 1940, that became the army air force during the war. shortly after became the united states air force. what it was like for african-americans as the united states was on the eve of war. if you take yourself back to 1939-1940 the rest of the world was already at war. japan have long invaded china. germany invaded poland by 1939. united states had not entered the war but it was a world war. franklin roosevelt knew the

apart from these officer corps positions, more than 83% of all currently confirmed positions and more than 90% of all the full-time positions will continue to require senate approval under this bill. let me emphasize that again, mr. president, because unfortunately there is some misinformation about this bill. more than 90% of the full-time positions in the federal government that have required senate confirmation will continue to require senate approval under our bill. furthermore, nothing in this bill limits the ability of congress to create new senate-confirmed positions in the future. it may be that there is a new department created someday or a new position that is very important. the senate can choose to exercise its will to make those new positions subject to senate confirmation. the companion standing order reported by the rules committee proposes that some additional 240 positions go through a new, expedited confirmation process. although that resolution is not now before us, it will be, i hope, shortly after we con clued our work on this bill, so i want to explain just brief

he had not defeated the rank-and-file and many of the corps commanders. george mead and george reynolds were on the verge of discussing the fact if they would disobey hooker's order and not retreat in the order. hooker had to send the order saying you will cross the river. that's how much dissension was in the army but the rank-and-file was a different story but there's no way lee could know that. and after chancellorville if you start to read all these things that the confederates are writing, they essentially say, okay, wherever the army potomic we'll go meet them and that was the way they looked at it and by the time they're going to reach gettysburg and free mantle the british gold stream observers with the army besides of the words of their own men they believed they were invincible and on the battlefield they believed they could win. why did lee go to pennsylvania? well, charles marshall again quoting him post-war writings and so forth, marshall would say that from a time lee took command and you link all these campaigns together, they all went toge

well now because of government imposed intellectual property rights and you can't play the marine corps him and me yeah well apparently someone has sued somebody and the network told us today that we're having some issues we can't even play clips from full metal jacket and i really can't like our movie how are we going to compete with the internet i don't know i know our movie of all that using government of the united states another useless law which infringing on us being marines awesome but now it's like there's using it as a weapon to mess with our t. and the law and the interpretate i mean it's like the i.r.s. code you know you make it so big and again it was targeted intellectual property rights and other government scam but. we're talking about i want to call you out on something here because i found out other than the like if you voted for obama you also have something very much in common with them. that i have nothing in common with barack obama if you're had not totally robert gates ass. the best secretary defense ever like of course well obama seems to agree with you just gav

dark waters feels like old swimming you know in a big you know what we've referred to in the marine corps as a ship pull and. you find yourself. looking forward to the next. mission or for combat roles. you get a rush it's like oh. i don't know why you do it but it's first kill it's same hard you should think about it specially. if you have to kill it close quarters. it up and were killed with. weaponized i think. my waist was built in our forty's people and i wanted to kill. i felt good at the time when i when i did it didn't bother me if i. didn't get a chance to kill someone it went beyond our friend the call of duty it turned into soft and i said. that i hate that i had grown up in the south i think had expanded. because of what was happening here because so los and people. that feel i've become an animal i. go kill no remorse. i literally saw young men turn into. psychopathic killers. but the great thing about the marine corps is the training process that the young men and women go through gives them all the ability to kill at least one time to put that warrior ethos in effect and th

but the great thing about the marine corps is the training process that the young men and women go through gives them all the ability to kill at least one time to put that warrior ethos in effect and then once you've done it then it's on you. as so many things happen in a war that puts you at odds with your sense of right and wrong. i've seen things that would be described as is war crimes. the sergeant who had the ring of yours who. is not a secret i mean he's walking around with a big wiring with human ears punched through the low but they're all hanging on the ring these are people he has cut off their ears to try to get information. on the shooting civilians. you don't really call it it's not like you're shooting a scene there it's like. collateral damage.

another disturbing revelation has been the discovery of the marine corps regulations. some dating back as far as 1963. that required a protective standard of care for the bases drinking water systems. had the regulations and orders been followed, moat of -- most f the tragedies would have been diversed. lastly as a career marine, the most audacious has been the lack demonstrated by the army and marine corps related to the issues. a problem that continues to this day and reaches the highest level of leadership. the document that is we have uncovered there have been many half truths and outright lies by the organizations and heard leaders and statements to the press and correspondence to the affected community members, in brochures issued to congress, and, yes, even in congressional testimony. but i would be more than willing if these mischaracterizations are too numerous for me to miss here today in the testimony. but i would be more than willing to provide examples today if the committee is interested and i would gladly sit down with any senator and staff members to po
