well, clearly george marshall who served only a year during the korean war had previously been secretary of state under harry truman and then came back. he was close to truman. -- those are the ones that come to mind first. i looked at the list i might add one or two others. >> how would you assess the lack of military experience with members of congress and how it affects their ability to provide oversight? if you look at the members the do have it, the experience in the navy in and secretary of the navy, mccain, senator reid, a little bit more aggressive. they have a platform and understand the institution, but it allows them to have on trade to be a little more critical. whereas some of the members, i think, feel a little bit more sensitive. to you think it has been a factor in the ability to provide effective oversight and understanding? >> not really. military service as a plus, certainly a political plus. the more women we elected to public office the more the percentage of folks with military service is going to go down, just because women are not drafted, and have not served in a

at two of the 20th century's greatest advocates of a peaceful world were soldiers -- general george marshall and president dwight eisenhower. accepting the nobel prize for peace, general marshall said that a strong military posture was "and vitally important to build a dependable, long, enduring peace." in the same address, the general sharply criticized the rapid drawdown after world war ii, arguing that the korean war was a direct result of that drawdown. marshall understood the folly of trying to harvest a peace dividend when there was no peace. so did president eisenhower. ike was called "the peace president," a warrior who hated war, but he also understood the wisdom of preparedness. in one of his first addresses to the american people, president eisenhower said, "as long as their purses a threat to freedom, free nations must at any cost remain armed, strong war."eady for the risk of fou it is logical to ask after 10 years of conflict, is our military prepared to sustain peace in the next decade, much less the next century? do we keep our gloves up or do we drop them? and leaf and the c

if any of them was half as good as george marshall was as secretary of state after world war ii, we would be better off. he had a better grasp of that. then the cold war took over. staying on the inside. it is turned into the almighty dollar. we have very true statesman as far as i'm concerned. we had trouble into pakistan and through the middle east. host: we will leave it there. joshua keating. guest: there is a sense the politics ends at the water's edge. that changed during the cold war and it is not true now. a much more partisan atmosphere surrounding foreign policy today. host: several candidates have referred to ronald reagan. what is it about reagan the candidates think will win over voters? guest: it is the notion of national greatness conservatism, it.david brooks calls it was a different world when one of reagan was president -- when ronald reagan was president. it doesn't tell us how they would respond to counter terrorism or the threats we face today. host: 10 minutes on our discussion. we're talking with joshua keating with "foreign policy" magazine. paris, texas. caller: g

george marshall thought that this was a plot by donovan to take over army and navy intelligence. which by the way is exactly what donovan had in mind if franklin roosevelt would have let him do it. so marshall eventually comes to accept donovan's oss, but a senior intelligence officers never did. and, in fact, they fought donovan's organization throughout the war. at one point toward the middle of the war, his military intelligence folks even formed their own secret espionage units behind donovan's back. it was nicknamed the pond. its job was not going to spy on the access behind donovan's back to spy on donovan, and spy on his officers. the evening collected information on the wives of oss officers. in any war, you are going to generals on the same site fight among themselves. world war ii was no different from any of the war. the british and the americans senior officers, there were constant battles among them. in donovan's case though the fights were even more intense because the conventional admirals and generals really didn't know what this guy was all about. when he got up

responsibility very seriously, always considered a low profile was bass, some of like my hero, george marshalli said as much to david letterman on his show and it is all my facebook page if you want to see it. next to be fair the position is often misunderstood, and i was at a dinner party a couple of years ago when a woman asked me what i did in the military. not wishing to make a whole thing of it, i told her i work in the pentagon, and she kept pressing for details before i admitted that i ended joint chiefs share. oh she said. i guess i thought with all of those metals and stars you were someone important, but i am, i stressed. i'm the president's top military adviser. her eyes got big. clearly, she was embarrassed. all my goodness, and general petraeus, i am so sorry. [laughter] >> i just did not recognize you. dave is here today as the director of the cia. thank you, dave, i owe you one. if you really want to know what i told marty, it is pretty simple, he is not just the adviser, he is a personal representative of the men and women that make up all our armed forces and their families. i
