. >> that was michael hastings speaking on piers morgan. >> i think michael hastings is a fascinatingase he wrote a cover story about general mcchrystal on "the rolling stone" who ended general mcchrystal's career. what was amazing is nobody doubted the authenticity of the quotes included in this article, yet huge numbers of the most prominent media figures who covered the war in afghanistan attack michael hastings facetiously -- attacked michael hastings viciously, accusing him of violating the trust of the general. not because he reported things that are supposed to be off the record, but they say you develop a bond with these generals but they talk about how you have to sleep in the same tense with them, that you they really have an expectation should honor as a reporter to protect and shield them and a reputation. that is what these journalists the themselves as doing, serving as spokespeople for these military figures and that is why they're so angry at michael hastings. he was attacked again because of the cnn interview, described as this unhinged person as muddying the sacred w

lbj hasted great domestic agenda and had -- had this great domestic agenda but was ruined as a president by the vietnam war. when you walk into the oval office, president obama looks up and he sees the vietnam general walking hand. you are his worst nightmare. i am here to ruin your presidency. i think is a hard problem. the media does not want to pay attention. we just have a presidential campaign with the war in afghanistan hardly mentioned. i would be appalled if i were a parent who had a kid in afghanistan. what does that say about us? we're putting our kids out there. it says we are not taking our wars seriously. we're fighting for them but we're fighting them with a casual air against. if you're going to go to work, pay some -- war, pay some damn attention. the sense of not having skin in the game in this country, it really bothers me. tavis: that is a sobering thought on veterans day. the notion that it is hard to tell who is succeeding and failing anyway given how messy these wars are. i am all for accountability. as a fan, i have a right to hold you accountable. i did not know h

michael hastings has written about general petraeus in "rolling stone" and in his book "the operators us from chicago. mike, could you put general petraeus' career in con ftext f us? >> sure. i mean, you're dealing with one of the most influential and historic generals in modern american military history. i would have to say on a level of reporting, it's very bizarre what we're seeing unfold today, and, in fact, the idea that it's going to be an extramarital affair where people finally start examining general petraeus' record very closely to me is very ironic. i think general petraeus has gotten a pass by most of the media outlets. they've glorified him in a way that was well beyond what was really deserved, and i think if we go back and look at his record from what he actually did in iraq in terms of setting up this disastrous iraqi training program to the plan he pushed in afghanistan, which afghanistan now is worse than it was before the petraeus plan, to transforming the cia into essentially a paramilitary organization, and to the latest intelligence failure in benghazi where we f
