marines so brezler's warnings were correct.t night it was reported -- a lot of people are raising -- scratching their heads and saying why are they basically trying to court-martial or kick out of the military the one guy who tried to warn about the dangers here, and she suggested it could be is that those who did not heed the warning on the other side, we're not talking about the three victims, are better connected politically in the military than is major brezler. let me put that question to you, mary liz. do you believe that is the case, that that's why this is happening? >> i do believe that's the case, and i also believe going after brezler is a smoke screen. clearly somebody dropped the ball. we still have not heard anything about who was the last or the highest command that received the communication from brezler and we do know it went up the chain. we do not know who made the decision to do nothing, to ignore it, and that's the person that the marines should be going after. that's the person that should be held accounta

and support the injured marines.nd the questions you ask of why are we here, i had to lean on my colleagues all the time and ask that question, you know, just to make sense of it for myself because there was so many young people who we knew their lives were going to be forever changed because of the injury that they had. and some of those individuals that come back without the, you know, physical scars, certainly have some of the emotional scars. but yet, you know, i understood that, you know, the service that i was providing and the service that i believe my team was providing was one that was so awesome and was so needed and so much appreciated that that was what defined our purpose. so my being here was i'm here to help individuals that have volunteered to serve their country. and that's it. you know, that was my scope of my thinking and in talking to my colleagues and leaning on them to answer that question for myself and ask that question back and forth, that was summarily the conclusion we all came up with. and

my marines were really hard- working. they would go out there and dig trenches to lay cable underground. we would get the entire company, 200 marines, to help us out. they took out all of the old iraqi telephone wires and replaced it with 30 kilometers of cable all total through the base. then we would get a mortar and the cable would you cut and then the repair marines would have to go repair it. it's being in charge of the whole cycle but i work with a lot of fantastic people. >> that's great. nicole? >> my story is a story of misdirection. i wanted to be a journalist, actually. the recruiter told me that i could not make the cut. i did not get the proper schooling to enlist as -- to get the journalism slot. i was like, what do you guys have to offer. he mentioned a few other mos's, and then he mentioned supply, and i was like, well, i have retail experience. i have office experience. supply and garrison versus supply during a deployment is really two different atmospheres, different tribes of stressors, whereas when i

a little line has been forming around marin county and back to the bay. there's hardly anything to this. maybe a little bit to the east bay as well. if it's light it doesn't last long. had a couple of reports of sprinkles near scotts valley. near the altamont pass, it develops. 40s, 50s on the temperatures. they are raring to go down as soon as we get down. the cold air will probably be here after the noon hour. windy, colder after morning clouds. light showers. colder air arrives this afternoon. mainly in the 50s. here's sal. >>> we have a look at the traffic that's going to be busy today. we're getting a lot of incidents, all of a sudden. let's take a look at the eastshore freeway where we have slow traffic coming through from the vallejo area all the way through to the bay bridge toll plaza. no major problems. it's gets busier. at the toll plaza, you will see slow traffic. it's backed up for a 25-minute delay. we didn't have all of the lanes filled in. now we do. also the morning commute is going to be okay on b.a.r.t. i just want to mention that -- we

my marines were really hard- working. they would go out there and dig trenches to lay cable underground. we would get the entire company, 200 marines, to help us out. they took out all of the old iraqi telephone wires and replaced it with 30 kilometers of cable all total through the base. then we would get a mortar and the cable would you cut and then the repair marines would have to go repair it. it's being in charge of the whole cycle but i work with a lot of fantastic people. >> that's great. nicole? >> my story is a story of misdirection. i wanted to be a journalist, actually. the recruiter told me that i could not make the cut. i did not get the proper schooling to enlist as -- to get the journalism slot. i was like, what do you guys have to offer. he mentioned a few other mos's, and then he mentioned supply, and i was like, well, i have retail experience. i have office experience. supply and garrison versus supply during a deployment is really two different atmospheres, different tribes of stressors, whereas when i

the marines were deployed to nearby uganda. so far almost 400 americans have been evacuated after violence broke out in the region. let's bring ing inpentagon correspondent barb barb star to talk more about this. barbara, what are you hearing? are these marines in uganda on call for more american evacuations? does it seem like they might go into south sudan or is this very much a just in case? >> i think on call probably hits the mark, brianna. they have moved the 50 marines as close as they can to south sudan so if there also a request, an order from the state department to evacuate americans,ed that be the trigger. then the marines would go in. they can do two things there. they can evacuate americans and at the same time, they can provide additional security and reinforcement for the u.s. embassy in south sudan. right now, nothing else has happened. everything is just sort of status quo for those marines. but there's very much a specter here of wanting to be ready, part of the hangover, the shadow, if you will, of what happe

so i had to talk to my marines. and everything from the 18-year- old whose already married with a pregnant wife to my 35-year-old senior enlisted who would give you advice on what we are supposed to do next and i would be like, great, thanks, and then go tell the rest of the platoon, this is what we are doing now, being able to gather information, listen, talk to all of your troop's and everyone around you, and then be able to tell everybody what to do and execute afterward was something i learned during that compressed appointment, because -- deployment, because when you are doing all the training, yeah, it is kind of real, but nobody is actually firing at you. or is not all that pressure. -- there is not all that pressure. that was a huge thing i learned over there. just to be able to be comfortable to walk into a room and realize that you're going to have to work together and talk to each other. so after the deployment i served in california in the marines for two more years and then i went out -- got out and wen

marines were in africa and now some of them have been moved. >> exactly. 150 marines moved there yesterday. we heard in the last few minutes that 50 of those 150 marines now have moved into uganda. this now puts them closer to the south sudan. the reason they have been moved, a u.s. military official tells me, with the violence growing, the military wants to have more options, troops closer, if there is a request from the state department to go in and either evacuate the embassy, pull more americans out, or provide security for the americans who are there at the embassy. this now puts 50 heavily armed marines within a relatively short flying distance of the south sudan. >> you saw the other day when the navy s.e.a.l.s had to abort their mission and leave the south sudan, they went to uganda. even though it's quite far away still, it's sort of the jumping-off point. >> it is. it's about 500 miles, but it does put you closer and it was quite extraordinary on saturday when those navy s.e.a.l.s got hurt, their aircraft shot up full of holes, the navy s.e.a.l.s sadly bleeding from their wounds

military was very open about it when they announced the marines on the way.this was one of the lessons learned of benghazi. that when you have americans at risk in areas of the world where they may not be u.s. military for forces at the ready, you have to put the military force there. as everyone will recall in benghazi, there were no nearby u.s. military forces, nobody to come help at that compound. this time, the pentagon taking no chances. putting the 150 marines into the region, even before there are orders to go. they don't want this to happen again. >> and barbara, what is the latest you hear about the u.s. personnel wounded over the weekend? >> yeah, this is both sad and happy news, john, three of the four navy seals are expected shortly as in the coming hours, as a matter of fact, to land at the u.s. military hospital in germany. the very hospital that has treated thousands of wounded from iraq and afghanistan over the years. one navy seal remains behind in hospital in nairobi. he was very seriously hurt. he is expected to make it but his injuries wer

marines rescued him in a daring raid this morning. six days ago bosnia serbs shot down his f-16 with a surface-to- air missile. he was patrol willing a united nations no-fly zone. we didn't know if he was alive or not. nobody had any concrete evidence. >> and the families anguish grew worse when the serbs claimed they had captured the pilot and holding him hostage. when u.s. military officials first started radio signals from o'grady, they feared it was bosnian serbs trying to lure u.s. troops into an ambush. >> we never would give up because we knew scott wouldn't give up. >> in fact scott o'grady was surviving eating bugs and grass and drinking rainwater. sleeping during the day and moving at night to avoid detection. >> finally 2:00 this morning o'grady made voice contact through the radio and marines sprung into action. >> we'll get the job done and do it right. >> 40 u.s. aircraft took off this morning. fighter jets, attack helicopter and radar planes. after he lit a flare, go helicopter landed on a hilltop. marines saw o'grady t

dakota meyer is a marine who went back into that hot zone to go rescue his buddies. there was quite a bit of -- because the army offers as they were calling for didn't have the artillery support and there were a lot of americans killed that day. this is an example of the medal of honor winner that with great valor rescued his buddies and a lot more people die than necessary because that artillery support was not there. so, the other thing is it's important to remember in the military that there's a lot more counterinsurgency to be done than conventional wars. the generals want to buy tanks and fighter planes and ships that sometimes it's asked to train up a guy to go and get it done. >> we have time for about one more question. by all means. thank you for your patience. >> thank you for being here and allowing me to have you. i want to ask you what you are doing now? >> i have started a company called frontier resource group and we are traditional private equity fund. we invest in energy, mining agriculture and logistics opportunities throughout africa and taking the

marines are doing something like that in afghanistan, they're flying supplies to the marines right now. they have had success with the drones flying supplies to pilots without equipment. they have had crashes, though, and the data they have come up with on how it works and in the marine corps, it is something they may want to have a look at. >> my copy of "50 shades of gray" just got taken out by a 747, but we'll keep following it, amon. >> could be a problem, you bet. >>> two big name companies going worldwide, first, hilton, bought by black stone nearly ten years ago, now plans to sell in two weeks, they are expected to raise nearly $2 and a half billion, valuing the company at more than $20 billion. >>> and another company selling stocks, arrow mark, the big company that serves lots of stadiums and amusement parks, plans to raise money by the partial sale. the partial sale means that rare row mark would have a partial stock of $3.4 billion. >>> and plans to cut costs by the year 2016, buying back more stock. that is where we begin tonight's market focus, the drug maker says they wil

so i had to talk to my marines.and everybody from, you know, the 18-year-old who was already married and his wife was pregnant, and she was about to have baby while we were deployed to, you know, my 35 be-year-old senior enlisted who would give me advice on, like, is this what we're supposed to do next? and i'd be like, great, thanks, gunny, and go tell the rest of the platoon this is what we're doing now. and being able to kind of, you know, put your ear to the ground and listen is and gather information and talk to all of your troops and then, you know, talk to your fellow officers and everybody else around you and then being able to digest that and get advice and come up with a plan of action and then be able to tell everybody what to do and execute afterwards was something that really i learned during that compressed period of deployment. because when you're doing all the training, yeah, it's kind of real, but nobody's actually with firing anything at you. there's not the actual pressure of outside the wire troo
