the lance corporal's mother says that our forces shouldn't be there, no more. why aren't the candidates talking about this, mark? >> a couple of reasons. we have been at war for 11 years, and to the best of my knowledge, no president has been to a funeral of any of these. they don't know the people who are fighting and dying there. the second factor is that this is the first time in your lifetime that we have had an election where none of the candidates for major office had served in the military. that is a distancing -- military leaders arke very concerned, the distancing of military experience from the civilian experience. >> i agree that that is a huge issue. i do think that the president's go to hospitals -- i think the president to feel something, because they see the guys who have lost limbs. that is a stretch. but the larger point, that we have two worlds, the military and civilian world, is a serious problem. >> there is a much more cynical reason. obama would clearly like to get out, getting down as fast as he can, but it is his war right now, his stra

a lance corporal. and i texas a&m. he said the marines are part of the navy department. it then men's department. i don't tell the joke anymore. written a remarkable, and it is about. the world continues to cry out for american leaders. as we once thousands of people being slaughtered in the absence of american leaders, conspicuous by its absence. the beliefs believes that the united states is withdrawing. it cries out for leaders. you know, one of the famous stories that may be in a total, a television prisoners being interrogated by an american officer. you have to watch, we have the time. very interesting commentary on the lack of american leaders. i think that the articulates in his book the examples of heroism . that means that so many of us remember who inspired us and inspired us to the degree that we were able to do things that we otherwise would not have been able to do. that is what lee is all about. that is what his life has been all about, and that is what this book is all about. americans always the heroes commend we have so many. it took the american people

lance corporal greg buckley was one of them. the 21-year-old was shot and killed last week by an afghan police officer as they sat down for a meal. two other marines also died. >> at the end of the day what happens, my son trained somebody to murder him. >> reporter: the pentagon says one in 10 of these attacks is the work of the taliban or other terrorists. the rest are blamed on afghans who are looking for some sort of retribution against the west. still nato leaders say such attacks are rare. as for friday's shootings, there are few answers. >> you have no findings yet yet in terms of what the reason for this threat. >> reporter: most american troops are expected to leave afghanistan in 2014. randall pinkston, cbs news, washington. >> just hours after friday's attack on the american forces, there was a second shooting involving an afghan soldier. two troops were injured. >>> the members of an all female punk rock band from russia will be spending the last two years behind bars. their crime, a performance where they called on

. >> reporter: this is the mother of marine lance corporal gregory buckley, gunned down by an afghan policeman last week. the rest of us can only imagine her grief, but everyone can agree with what she is saying. >> i'm so proud of my son but this shouldn't have happened to my son and i want answers. >> reporter: a spontaneous wake on the front lawn of their home on long island. the local baseball team walked over from the field across the street and stood in stunned silence as buckley's father, gasping for breath, tried to comprehend what had happened. >> he was gunned down. he was gunned down with a weapon that we supplied. >> reporter: statistically, insider attacks are rare when compared to the tens of thousands of interactions which take place each day between the 84,000 american troops and 332,000 afghan security forces. but statistics mean nothing to the buckleys. faced with a continuing threat of insider attacks, the commanding general in afghanistan has ordered his troops to carry loaded weapons at all times, even on base. bob? >> schieffer: thank you very much, david. we sh

and lance corporal, greg buckley, just 20 years old. all dead at the hands of afghan security forces who were supposed to be trusted partners. but buckley told his grieving father just days before he was killed, that he feared afghan soldiers. >> he called me on the phone, he said dad i'm not feeling good. he said somebody's going to hurt me, but don't tell mom. don't tell my brothers. >> reporter: the number of attacks, deaths by afghan forces already y this year, exceeds th total folast year. earlier this year, after a spade of attacks by afghan forces, we were with general john allen as he counseled his young marines. >> this is the time for professionalism, this is the time for trust and confidence and this is not the time for revenge. >> reporter: and marines were quick to tell us that there were trusted afghan partners. >> they are actually focused on our safety as much as we are their safety. >> is the trust factor still there with you? >> reporter: but the attacks have gotten so bad some soldiers say their spouses worried about

and, you know, i think you need to get a few more old lance corporals there. you know, we'd be more than happy to ask tough questions of people in braid on that. but somebody who's never been in the military may not want to ask tough questions. it is interesting if you look at presidential elections, the last several presidential elections, clinton beat a war hero, he beat a second war hero in dole in '96. his bush, george bush, the second president bush, had been in the national guard, but he beat, he beat al gore who had served in vietnam, and kerry was defeated by bush the second time. mccain was defeated by obama. i don't think that being a war veteran or a war hero is not helpful, but it obviously doesn't put people over the top anymore. and that's an interesting situation. but with fewer people serving in the military, with less than 1% serving, we just have to recognize we're going to have a smaller and smaller proportion of veterans in almost every area of american life, including our politics. we have to find ways to deal with that. >> on behalf of th

i watched the staff sergeant from bethesda, his cologne, the lance corporal of the hill. they said a surreptitiously from a bottle of whiskey it was a prelude to the horror film or fantasy and i couldn't decide which. a motion to the marines we should head in. there was a serious ki of the elevator. we were expected in the ballroom on the second floor. most of these men and women were not exactly prepared to climb the stairs. they told me to take the stairs and they would meet me at there. i offered him a piggyback ride but he said he didn't trust my scrawny civilian legs. the reception looked like a version of the new york party that i casually attended for a few years. the spread was not as ambitious as a hollywood party, and on par with something for a party of a poetry magazine. the new york parties in terms of appeal and food and drinks, i would give the hedge funds the number one spot, then the art world, television, magazines, books, and ugly and distant last the ngos. the bar here consisted of one guy behind a folding table with two kinds of bad wine, red or white

yesterday, on the inside of the papers, the name of the dead, six young marines, lance corporal gregory buckley, staff sergeant scott dickerson, gunnery sergeant ryan guess ki, captain manukian, sergeant sky moat, average age 23 years of age, six marines, dead in afghanistan, nobody talking about it. >> it continues. >> neither candidate mentions it. >> they don't want to mention it. it's, you know, barack obama's the one who tripled down on the war, when he shouldn't have, and mitt romney actually wants to stay there longer. >> yeah. >> and has a running mate who actually voted against even withdrawing in 2014. everybody wants to prove that they're tough on foreign policy. >> or not talk about it. >> or afghanistan. >> or not talk about it. >> just not talk about it. the way they do that is by continuing to send young men and women to their deaths in a war they know they're never going to control. >> to what end? >> will never win the exit strategy. they will not win the exit strategy. we've been saying it for four years. and young americans have been dying. they've been tripling the n

engaged in warfare in afghanistan, is the piece in the times leads with the death last week of lance corporaley of oceanside, long island, killed in afghanistan, 20, just 21. he had just turned 21. school is beginning across the country, this week, next week, so when gregory buckley dead now in afghanistan was 10 years old, we went to war. 10 years old. 11 years later he's dead. >> you know, this is all systematic of what script american politics, nobody has the courage to tell the american people the truth. the truth is, and we've said it two weeks ago when i was on the show in new york, mika, we said this is all cya by both candidates. the truth is when the afghans soldiers and police start killing our troops that are supposedly fighting for them, it's time to get out. we should be out by halloween. every american soldier ought to be out by halloween because if they're killing us, there's no reason for us to stick around. it's unconshenble. we're never going to hear that because everyone is too afraid of doing something that will seem weak on defense. weak on defense? look at those pictures

in the lead, the lead, of yesterday's front page piece in the times, involved the 21-year-old lance corporalfrom oceanside, long island, and when you tell people in terms as joe, we did last week, and we did yesterday, he was 10 years old when this war began. he was getting a school bus at this time in his life, 11 years ago. and now he's dead in afghanistan. >> it's remarkable. and on the front page was that extremely emotional picture of his parents after his death and, you know, the collective images of the soldiers on those four pages just looking out at you, is really something. i was in afghanistan a year ago, you know, doing some reporting, checking in on our reporters there, and went out and it's remarkable how committed, you know, our soldiers are to their mission there. you talk to them, they believe in it, they're trying to make afghanistan better. it's a difficult task. >> it's a terrible task, jill. one of our great frustrations over the past three, four years here on the set, is the politicians and the diplomats will come on and will ask why we're there, why are young men and w

and our son jimmy -- a lance corporal in the marine corps -- served honorably in iraq as -- [applauses of thousands of other young men and women just like him are doing for america and freedom everywhere. the stakes were never more clear to me, than the morning i watched my son jimmy strap on his weapons and board a bus headed for harm's way. i was born and raised in the american west and will always see the world through the prism of its values. my father was a true "western gentleman." he rose from hardscrabble roots to realize the american dream. with only a few borrowed dollars in his pocket, a strong back and a can-do spirit, he built a great life for his family. his handshake was his solemn oath. he looked you straight in the eye and he always believed the best of you unless you gave him good cause not to. modest and good-natured, he had deep roots in our american soil. he taught me life is not just about you, it's also about nurturing the next generation, preparing a better world for all our children and helping them find the right way up. we all come to that knowledge in diffe
