you mentioned falluja.this was an unpleasant moment with a lot of unpleasant moment and you were given orders and as i remember you did not like being told to take any and didn't like to stop when you were told to take any. how did you march your men and women during operation but you think is a mistake? >> to explain a little background to all of you. we were in a place, the enemy was rising up of what would become known as the sunni uprising against us guiding and he had plenty of help. and we were outnumbered there. we were under troop caps so we cannot bring additional troops even though they were waiting in southern california to bring them in. shortly after we took over the district from the 82nd airborne division for contractors, while on the battlefield was very upset about this sort of stuff wandered into a town called falluja and they got killed, and their bodies hung up and people very angry in this town. it was a tribal town so what we did is we knew we would get hold of the tribal town and find

round in the first battle of falluja.ould have if we need it it with a helicopter gunship his in the tanks we're giving us what we need it. we didn't fire a earlier artillery. it was played is if we we're doing that and other networks in this town. and footage that was i think they call them trailers or something. guys who bring self into them. so we got stopped deep inside of the city with malad school literally with hand grenade range apart. there we we're losing people. there we got order to pull back and this with the young machine gunner is asked about it. it is have to do this you can because sometimes live doesn't go the way you wanted to go so you given a hundred percent. david: how do you do that. what are your general loss of the commands. jim: first of all you have to make sure you laid out very clearly what you want. so the commander his intent is what it's called and i said my aim is to destroy the stronghold inside cluj, at the least cost of to the innocent is possible and i want to move quickly with two ass

the commander's intent is what it is called so my aim is to destroy the terrorist foothold inside fallujawith least cost innocent as possible and i will bring in more battalions as soon as possible but you must move fast enough. and then what you do you go around and talk to the units and then you fold them together and then ask questions and then go back and forth and then what is the concern to have a unit ready to go. and those assault units you can take your hands off the steering wheel. if you trust your young officers they keep those social energy going that young ncos are doing their jobs so they don't have to go in that way they know what they're doing we don't call that command or control. the marines believe in command and feedback. we have done i use in the front lines listening on what happened from 100 different directions to take your hands off the wheel and do what needs to be done. >> and those that were so terrified you could hear each other's teeth chattering. have you felt that fear with the course of your career on the battlefield or somewhere else crack. >> absolutely

we never fired one artillery round in the first battle of falluja.i would have if we needed it but the helicopter gunships and tanks had given us what we needed and we didn't fire artillery. it was played as if we were doing it on bbc and other networks in this town, footage that -- trailers or something, bring stuff into them and we got stopped deep inside the city with hand grenade arranged parts and losing people in this thing and got ordered to pull back and that is when the machine gunner was asked about it. you have to do the best you can because sometimes life doesn't go the way you want it to go. you give it 100%. >> how do you command a bad like that? they are busting through walls, you are a general. how do you command? >> you have to lay out clearly what you want. the commander's intend is what it is called. my aim is to destroy the terrorist stronghold, the innocent is possible and i want to move quickly with the two assault battalions and i bring in more battalions as soon as possible but you most move fast enough. we knew they hadn't go

>> falluja on the rio grande doesn't seem to interest them very much.u look at this footage and you go back over the last five, ten years in iraq and afghanistan, you'll see the same kinds of people in pickup trucks running around with assaulthi weapons. i looked carefully at this footage and i was shocked to see some of the mercenaries looking for the drug cartels carrying automatic weapons. this is weaponry you would only find in the u.s. army and the marine corps. the completely outgunned the opposition, there is no question this is a very powerful force. this force reaches into the united states. they have tentacles that reach into communities in los angeles, chicago, baltimore, phoenix. the kind of violence we are seeing right now in mexico could inevitably explode in this country unless we close and secure the border and begin to rebuild the t rule of law in the united states. interested?e the chamber of congress isn't lobbying very hard and no one is making any money from defending the united states but there are a lot of powerful lobbies who are
