it is deeply embarrassing for the united states marine corps. these marines have disgraced the marine corps and the country. >> did you think that these kinds of incidents happen more often or less often than in previous conflicts? is it the nature of communications today and to get these on line quicker? >> perhaps less often if you look at the official u.s. propaganda in the second world war the way in which the japanese photo was dehumanized. you could imagine how that would translate down to the squad and the platoon level. the difference today is that with the advent of smart phones, a diffusion of various media, this kind of thing can go viral immediately. on one hand, that is a good way to convince soldiers and marines, do not do this kind of thing. it will get out. when something like this happens, it can have an outside the fact that maybe previous atrocities would not have. this kind of thing always happens during a war. the effect of the media has really changed. >> when you served in iraq and afghanistan, you put yourself in position

and the navy marine corps, they're basically going to stay flat. so one of the things i'll be looking for when the new budget comes out is strategy says we're going to place more emphasis on air and sea forces, less emphasis on ground forces. so are they going to accelerate that shift in budget share or is it basically going to stay at what they were predict thanksgiving were going to do in the last budget. the second thing i'll be looking for is the mix of active component versus garden reserve component forces. so one of the things the secretary talked about a bit yesterday, we don't have a lot of details yet, but it sounds like the army is -- while they're making major cuts in the active duty force, there will be smaller cuts in the guard and reserve. the air force may actually be going in the other direction. they may be cut mortgage deeply in their reserve component in order to protect some critical parts of their active component. so that's one of the trade-offs, one of the competitions in the budget i'll be watching as well. the third one, a
