general dempsey left, so i think what you're seeing here are more aggressive moves and some of these that have been tried are paying off. what is going on is these are essentially enablers, folks going in, going in combat gear, i believe they're going into combat and an isis bullet i going to kill one as they're combat equip or in combat so at that time a difference 2008 distinction. what they're trying to do is build others who can go deeper and be spotters to help put bombs on target against some of the isis targets. so essentially what we're seeing is an expansion of a successful effort that they're going to continue to expand. >> in the meantime, colonel, believe the russians say they're out of there, mission accomplished. if we are sending in more manpower, would they be interested in revisiting syria? >> i think the russians have diminished just slightly. don't think they're leaving for a minute. i think putin's objective is maintaining control. i've been told by senior pentagon officials they're confident we'll be moving forward with the offensive in mosul soon, that much of i

former chairman of the joint chief of staffs, general martin dempsey, described last year's defense budget as -- quote -- "the lower ragged edge of manageable risk in our ability to execute the defense strategy. one year later the president of the united states has sent us a budget request that is less in real dollars than last year and $17 billion less than what our military needed and planned for. the military services unfunded requirements total near $23 billion for the coming fiscal year alone. meanwhile, sequestration threatens to return in 2018, taking away another $100 billion from our military through 2021. i don't know what lies beneath the lower ragged edge of manageable risk, but this is what i fear it means. that our military is becoming less and less able to deter conflict and that if, god forbid, deterrence does fail somewhere and we end up in conflict, our nation will deploy young americans into battle without sufficient training or equipment to fight a war that will take longer, be larger, cost more and ultimately claim more american lives than it otherwise would have. and
