navy is appreciating how much is evaporating out of their hands in terms of war ship tonnage, marine corps was approached by a designer. he built an amphibian tank on his own dime with the hopes of securing war contracts. you see a marine testing it in the caribbean in the early 1920s. marine corps would have loved to buy one, but for want of a nail, want of a dollar, the navy at this moment was not inclined to spend any money on the marine corps, especially on an innovative, unproven box ultimately. so the marines turned down the opportunity they thought might give defense, create fire power, roll forces ashore. had great hopes for it. but they weren't building it themselves. would the navy rather build ships like the arizona? in that era marine corps appropriations, budgetary programs, new types of programs were subjected to navy whims. just like walter cristy, another designer not looking to make a buck, already rich, donald rublynn. you see him in the middle, dark pants on close to the fellow in the white. here you have a couple different designs he built, prototypes of what he conside

you'd be perfect for the marine corps because they are really smart and that's what the marine corps needs to professionalize i am the camaraderie everything about it inspired me. after i graduated high school i left for orlando florida which was the 1st time i was ever on an airplane and a life. initially it was just wanting to go see the world because i'm from a really small town i had a college scholarship to go play basketball but i instead opted to go into the military. you know what i chose to do. i come from a long line of military when we had somebody from every generation on both sides of the family all the way to of revolutionary war i had served in the armed forces and i chose the marine corps because no one in my family had ever done that. ellos putting on a uniform every day and you know just getting out there and giving it my all and it's a very proud feeling. i would have done the camp over and over again it was create the camaraderie the discipline everything it taught you who i wanted to be that's what they taught you there. obviously was different taking a shower wi

much less, the marine corps as well. dealing with allies, some of whom of course are very close to the americans culturally and whatever else he may be amazed how contentious the horror in world war ii and incredibly denis at times. much less the greater cultural gap in understanding inheritance trying to work with the nationalist chinese that is just so reminiscent of what the americans are going to experience a generation later dealing with the south vietnamese in the vietnam war. so it unleashes all of these kind of ten jens, powerful nationalistic idealistic ethnic forces they couldn't hope to control. the nationalist movements in the war in places like china, malaysia and indonesia, and of course vietnam. as you can imagine, there's a lot of battles and issues and personalities object a objects d discuss in depth to get a full appreciation of that you have to buy the book and read it all, so that's always my various agenda. we could open up the page number one but that would be pretty dull. these baby come they the

based on conversations with my colleague or higher in the marine corps. the sja is providing to the authority, all the information that is not presented at the 32. it is perplexing to me. we would like the recommendation if there is no probable cause if that to be binding. we feel like the government should present their evidence. we don't understand why we should be hiding that from every anybody. or they should funnel to the sja then overturn the recommendation that there is no probable cause. >> i don't think any of us suppose the ability of the government to go back for another hearing. we all agree it should be binding. >>> i don't think we have statistics. i don't remember what those were. by analogy, we do have some cases where there is no probable cause. those cases are not continued. there killed at that stage. we also have cases where we know and they have found no probable cause. those cases have gone forward. we challenge that finding. judges have based upon the recommendation, not allowing the motion to succeed. the concept and the sja has no

with the military, did they prepare you for the marine corps? >> i wasn't brought up in a military family at all. we liked being outdoors. my family would go camping on the end. my mother and father traveled the world of young people. my father in the merchant marines for 15 years and my mother was in the army crypto clerk and went off to south africa and worked there. the world was a place to be explored. they didn't know i was hitchhiking at first but they ofigured it out. it was a more trusting time, ladies and gentlemen. you could hitchhike into the picked up by a cross country drive or not knowing where you would stop that night and a night nurse could come off and drive you to the next town. it was a great education. >> now you were not the most devoted student in a school over the past for college but perhaps you're one owere one of the harg people i ever met. when did that kick in? >> i've never thought of what i've done as a lot of work, just enjoyment of being around a lot of people. but it was the sort of things i wanted to go explore

david: you spent over four decades protecting this country in the marine corps.heard you say one of the biggest threats to us is our debt and deficit. at the same time, we are spending a lot of money in the military. how do you reconcile those two things? is that really consistent with the national interest in the long-term? jim: the first point i would make is we can afford survival in our experiment that we call america. that is all that is, a government by the people, of the people, or the people, is seen as a threat by authoritarian's. right now we are spending a little over 3.1% on our military. we can afford to do even more than that, if it comes down to our survival. no matter how much it costs, it is cheaper than stumbling into ar because an adversary things we are weak. we have to align ourselves with allies, so we do not bear the full burden of this, nato being foremost, and recognize we have to adjust to it. i just finished a book called "appeasement" about how we stumbled into world war ii. -- itn churchill asked was not named world war ii yet, it was

and the marine corps said we can help in norway, they understood what was going on. we had nothing like this in the western pacific. and how do you make decisions and set priorities in your defense program when you don't have a clue where you want to go. and that was one of the critiques of secretary mattis in the national defense strategy, he said we need to figure out how we're going to do our job here. and so again without that, and i wrote an opinion in the commission because i was exercised over that issue, without that it's very hard and our allies, i've had senior japanese officers come to me, until you tell us how you're going to do this, it's very difficult for us to make decisions about what aircraft to buy, what kind of ships to buy, where we should position them. very politely, get your head in the game and i think this gets back to what dr. green said. and then secondly, i went up to the naval war college and there's a former japanese cno up there, and i went to visit him and you go in his office and he's got a table like this and a map of the indo-pacif
