could do that kind of damage if you're that skilled and a marine corps serviceman that served in the helmand proves where the bloodiest fighting for the corps was, yeah, he could accomplish that. >> you're also a veteran, and you're not besmirching veterans. you're saying he had a certain kind of skill that he learned. >> an aptitude, certainly. >> some witnesses, phil, say the gunman used smoke bombs and they were unable to confirm that. if it's true does that say anything about the planning or motivation? >> it doesn't say much to me. one of the simple questions i would have in that circumstance, jake, is to determine when the person acquired these. if they had them for years, that would suggest to me that those smoke bombs weren't something that showed he was intending to conduct an action. if he acquired them in the past few days, your answer changes there. i think the issues here aren't going to be about planning. they are going to be about the mental state of this person and what mental health professionals do when people in the neighborhood call in, again, as they did in that case in

so we have to be careful because look, the marines went down to helmand and they achieved a lot in 2010d 11. and there are a lot of afghans that stuck their head out and believes in the concept that we are here, we're going to be with you, we're goingto help you out . >> and then we left. there's been a bloodbath and a lot of those towns because of what happened. >> we can say that about other places too. and the point here is that forgiveness is an incredible concept that belongs with people that behave the norms. within norms. when somebody comes out and actually behaves in that way, i'll be as forgiving as anybody. i'll be the best afghan in context but when they don't, when their killing people, left right and center and a great example is that three-day cease-fire, every afghan i know had the greatest admiration and sort of good hope that this is a change but those people started killing at alarming rates immediately after that so they know how to switch on and off. they haven't switched off. so when they're ready to switch off, let's go but when they're not, it's a real troubling

since the formation of our democracy on october 20, i've s.en to helmand, other i have repeatedly visited all seven of our army corps and nds and spoken to men women nune form. noncommissioned officers and citizens. why? to understand what are the emerging trends and where the public pulse is. based on this, i would like to argue that a new afghan, rooted in its traditions, but embracing the world and to claim a place for our country on the world stage is emerging. i am honored to voice the aspirations of my fellow citizens and deliver on their demands for reform across the whole of the government and the state. what is the context in which we have been operating for four years? the major characteristic is uncertainty. part of this is the global picture. we are living in one of those moments, 19th century -- all that is solid seems to melt into thin air. terrorism and changing nature of war, the fourth industrial revolution, rethinking of globalization in its national institutions and organizations, and struggles over the definition of the 21st century, finition of islam, and regional coo

couple of final points that are more general, but also relate to the rule changes, first, professor helmand, who will be testifying next, disc s discusses the cays in which the disciplinary process can be made more transparent. which is key to a process that ought to be oriented toward promoting public confidence, rather than institutional self-protection. i support his recommendations. second and last, i encourage the committee to continue, you know, it's gradual move, of which i mean, the institution of the committee, since 1980, toward mu more fully integrating and embracing the code of conduct in the disciplinary process. code of conduct for u.s. judges was promulgated in 1973 using the 1972 aba code of conduct as a guide. the model code was designed explicitly to establish standard of conduct for use in disciplinary proceedings and it has, adopted and so used across the states for the past 45 years. the code of conduct is a code of ethics and unethical conduct has no place in the american judiciary, for reasons that the commentary from canon 1 explains. violation of this code diminishe

in helmand and practic are, to provinces, i was there recently and in each one there was a remarkable set of statements from the elders, youth and others and to satisfy groups and they were saying the key area of investment that needs to take place is education. the president of the university got up and said, because it just began, he says look at horse. in 17 years, the investment in horse university was because of abu dhabi's generous help and it transformed it into a center of dynamism. this is across the board, it's been baathist or other provinces. whether u me has been made a critical contribution is now we are creating a platform for learning with hundreds of universities including mit, but the most significant change likely is to make the curriculum and the support resources from the indian institutes of technology and institute of business for about 2 million of them. we have to fundamentally change from a book focused and teacher focused education to a student focused education. the younger generation is ready for this. again, in the universities we implemented the problem

many of them have lost close friends in helmand province and just today 12 british protection teams have. for those here, it has been a time to reflect, the commander of british forces said it was a time to remember that conflict has not ceased, especially here in afghanistan. he laid a wreath side by side with his german counterpart and as flares were said in both england and germany could hear a militarily helicopter land but then everything fell silent for the last post. the ceremony ended with an active commitment to strive for peace, to healing the wounds of war but this is a countryjust outside the walls here the afghan forces are still fighting, still buying. let's think more about the centenary commemorations. heatherjones, professor in modern and contemporary european history from university college london is here. i suppose in a way we remembering but we are also still learning about this conflict, younger generations learning about this dreadful conflict, which ended 100 years ago and asa conflict, which ended 100 years ago and as a historian i suppose that must please you in
