with us fox news contributor kt mcfarland. welcome back to the show. always great to have you here. now you got my attentioo as an american. you selloff the market 250 points in the middle of the day. worst day in a month. it rebounded at the end but we're still negative. where is this going and how long is this criesly likely to last? >> i think it is not over. russia now controls crimea and that's important to them because it is a military base. also where a lot of russian goods ship from russia to crimea through the black sea to the med. i think it continues though because the russians aren't finished. there is very little pushback what they have done other than a little finger wagging on the part of the administration. what they're looking for in my estimation is eastern ukraine. gerri: why? >> that's where they have historically had heavy industry. where all the oil and natural gas pipelines go through eastern ukraine. where in the cold war days a lot of aircraft manufacturing industry was located in the ukraine. gerri: this is economic story as well as political story? you. >>

mcfarland had good ideas. also that obama should send a delegation to the czech republic, central europe and help them develop fracking techniques. because then, a big part of the equation is russia is rendered impotent. now vladimir putin has control of that, right? >> right, and see in that building of pipelines is an example of developing natural resources and what they can provide to a region. and here, today, was -- in washingt washington, d.c., we had all of these protesters against the keystone pipeline. look, america needs pipelines just like other parts of the globe we talked about need their pipelines. we need ours. and the protesters grouping about, oh, i don't know, perhaps an earth worm will be displaced when a pipeline is built in america. that earth worm, it can take one for the team. >> all right, so you were worried after georgia that this would happen in the ukraine. and we now are watching what is happening in crimea. are you concerned that this goes further? that his ambitions are much bigg

>> you're talking about michael mcfarland? i couldn't agree more. vladimir putin is playing with fire here. and i think to some extent, he's enjoying the spectacle. he's enjoying the spectacle of seeing europe and the united states squirm and also daring the united states and europe to do something about it. this is a really dangerous situation. >> and how do you think the obama administration has reacted to this? we heard from the president today. the u.s. is calling it an uncontested arrival of russian forces, not an invasion. is there a real difference there? >> you can have distinction without a difference. i think you can only imagine the oval office meeting in which they looked over that language. to be fair, we're not absolutely sure who these unmarked troops are, whether they're all russian troops coming in from the russian fleet, whether some of them are sympathetic to russia and ukranian. we will find this out in the hours to come. but there's no question, there's absolutely no question that this is extremely dangerous. >> the 2008 there w

here for today's "money talker", fox news security analyst, kt mcfarland, a former navy seal, jonathan gilliam and a former pilot himself. thank you all three for joining us. this idea that we're always so paranoid. there is so much surveillance and government knows what we're doing at all times and here we have a plane no one can find and no one can trace. do we need more surveillance? >> we do have pockets in gaps of radar. melissa: at least. >> not only around the world but right here in the u.s. there are someplaces where there is no radar. it is pretty limited but, there is so much information. i think there is 80,000 flights a day. if you were to shove all that information up to the satellites, there is not enough bandwidth for all that. melissa: didn't we just give terrorist as perfect map where they could go and disappear if they wanted to? >> here is what i think. not so much what we do know about the plane? what about the bad guys know about us and reaction to this. we're not look in southern hemisphere. we're looking in russia, china, north korea, american satellites are not

i am sure she was appropriately disciplined, but apparently katrina mcfarland, the secretary for acquisition, said right now it is being looked at again. she later was disappointed and retracted those remarks. you come here for a budget that constrains us in a way that is unprecedented since serious times. there are unnamed quotes. no more land wars. that is why we are reducing our forces. we have seen that before. you and i have. we saw it after world war ii. we weren't prepared for korea. we saw it after korea. we weren't prepared for vietnam. after vietnam we had a chief of staff who came and told the committee we had a hollow army. now we are going through the same, ignoring the lessons of history at again, and it's really a shame, which brings me to crimea. it's widely reported in the media today that our intelligence sources did not predict the russian invasion would take place. is that true with your intelligence sources as well? >> i'm not going to get to intelligence matters here at an open hearing, but -- >> i'm not asking for intelligence matters. i'm just wondering if you are mad

pfc john mcfarland wrote his medal of honor recommendation in 1969.aid for years, he wondered what had happened and he suffered guilt, because he worried that he didn't do a good enough job in describing erevia's heroism. that's just one example. >> well, i'm really proud that we're finally coming around to recognizing the combat valor of these men, even though it took such a long time. but i think we also have to recognize that there are bad things that happen in combat to people that quakt their own sense of right and wrong, and often, as you say, result in a sense of guilt. this is increasingly being recognized as moral injury, and i think, it's the major sort of like the key thing that happens to people in combat. >> yeah, and you've written extensively about that moral injury. up with of the other men honored, staff sergeant melvin morris, 72 years old. he says there is no way, really, to prepare them for the emotional extremes of war, trauma for some, and moral injury. it's a violation of the senses here. and now we have these men, and i should
