david: ok, so you are in the marine corps.s you rise up, one of your assignments is to go into iraq after the invasion in 2003. so you were in combat. did you expect that you would survive? it was fairly dangerous. gen. kelly: well, it is dangerous. there's a lot of shooting and bombs and whatnot. we are marines. you take that on as a possibility. when we were designing the campaign plan, one of the things we did was to understand the iraqi army was nothing close to us. but we designed a strategy that would minimize the amount of damage to the country and the amount of death to the iraqi army. we went there and our mindset was we were not there to conquer them but to liberate them. we didn't want to kill a lot of them. i mean the army. you always try not to kill the innocent. david: you thought it would have been over in one or two weeks and people would be cheering you? gen. kelly: well, they were cheering us, almost everywhere we went. they came out in huge numbers. but the attack part of it was, in a sense, easy. we knew we

is a really smart with the marine corps needs the professionalism. everything about it inspired me. after i graduated high school i left for orlando florida which was the 1st. 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 mary ward had served in the armed forces and i chose the marine corps because no one in my family had ever done that. well of 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. that i would have done the camp and it was create the cooler ottery the discipline and everything it taught you who i wanted to be that's what they taught. obviously it was different taking a shower with different people all of a sudden. but i disagree experience i was a sa

the navy established the waves, the women accepted for volunteering emergency service, and the marine corps later that year as well as the coast guard. they call themselves spar, always ready, it was about a year later, 1943 when the army transitioned from waac, the women's auxiliary corps, which is contract, to the women's army corps. the waacs served in every theater of the war, including overseas. when the other services were all stateside, except for the nurses, waac, army and navy nurses and one of the pictures i love to point out here is eleanor roosevelt was a great advocate of women serving in the military, so these are the women in the four components who stepped up to be the leaders of each of the women's components. and i think about them. you know, they came on board. there were no uniforms specific to military women. there was no training base, what do you do with them. how do you assign them. what do we do. but these women made it possible for women to serve and contribute in ways that had never been done before, and we have to be forever grateful for their service and their c

if we create a staff over top of the space force that is a small staff like the marine corps it is by definition ten times bigger than the force itself so it will be a general for every or whatever we call that person and i'm not using the term and i'm not going to in the in that direction but we will figure it out. i'm not going there. thank you for that. [laughter] but we will figure out that kind of structure but congress wants to be sure we don't -- and i think that is good but what i hope and i will have a role in it because i will be part of the space governance process is what we see congress is our expiration of how we are meeting our intent and we don't require them to engage very often and we have a structure to do that and we know this is we know what you are looking at and here are the elements and we have to update dad, walk over six days and say here where we are now and it won't be so bad. we will have to figure that out but getting there and making sure we don't create this bureaucratic element over the top is really important because what the problem is in space is we

one of his best friends that he went through training within the marine corps went to his door at 6 am and notified him in the marines also came to me at 3:00 in the morning so we would both find out at the same time and we were able to communicate immediately. that was the reasoning behind my unusual notification time and why it did not go along with what i had been told it would be like. >> we are going to come back to you and have you read your second excerpt if you don't mind. >> this is from the third paragraph called a few months out my drug of choice. second, i had some takeaways at the end of the chapter. the first takeaway was second, embrace your support system. relationships are everything. family, friends and loved ones can get us through the darkest and saddest moments. we just need to let them. our friends and family speed are wild ambitions and nourish us. when we share with them some embarrassing fantasy that is well beyond our reach they always say go for it and if you're lucky enough to have friends and family like mine they may even say i am in, let's do it together.

you look at what the marine corps is asking for for mucs. they have a lot of different ways to get to their requirement. shape based ones could be the answer. land-based ones could be the answer. they're looking into which would work best for them. but they're putting real money against trying to fulfill requirements to support marine corps operations and the xho commandant's new version. we need to spend some money on taking some of these mq-9 reapers, and there is a maritime version of the mq-9 reaper. we need to turn some of those into navy assets. should the air force or navy operate them, someone asked. i don't care i really don't care. we need to get more asset noots theater that can help. before i step off and turn this over to david, i recognize what i'm talking about is the first several steps of a kill chain i haven't really spent time on the weapons or on the networking. those are important. and if you want to get into them, we can talk about that a little. but that ends my presentation. hope you enjoy the report and i look forwar

that is a space capability that brings space into your army maneuver unit, navy fleet, marine corps, whatever it is. you have an element. that is actually a service function that should stay in the service. and then you have capabilities like flying satellites, holding satellites, aluminum satellites. that is a space force. as we move into the future, we have to figure out which element goes in and which one stays in the service. different services are structured different ways right now in order to do that. they all need that capability. one of the first things we have to worry about is figuring out how to do that. we would like to make sure we have a voice and that decision which means we have to do it pretty quick. come this summer, congress will be asking that question. >> to have a sense of the timeline to determining the home for space command? >> i think it will be sometime in the next year. i cannot tell you exactly when. interesting thing about being the vice chairman, i'm actually not involved in that decision. one of those things i do not have insight too. that is done ins

marine corps in mind. he had these people in mind, the village people, made the song ymca a hit in 1979 when donald trump was a married man prowling new york city nightclubs without his wife. so remember that. it is in honor of not of the united states marines. it is in honor of the village people, those village people right there on your tv screen, which is interesting, but not outright crazy like saying the middle east should be in the north atlantic treaty organization, an organization in which each member pledges to join in the military defense of every other member. that means that every member of nato would be immediately militarily engaged in the middle east every time a missile is fired, including missiles fired by donald trump in the middle east. it is impossible to listen to donald trump say things like that and then fall into lines supporting him unless you have the capacity to completely s surrender your ability to think, which bring us to frank rich's latest brilliant article in new york magaz
