you cannot sue for something that happens to you that's incidental your military service if you military doctors amputate the wrong limb you are out of luck you cannot sue for that for that harm that's been done to you so we filed a lawsuit in federal court on behalf of 16 men and women seeking to bring former secretary rumsfeld and secretary gates to justice. i heard about the lawsuit. and decided to become a part of it. because i never wanted another woman to go through what i would. be a lawsuit alleges that they have overseen a system that has deprived the rape survivors of their constitutional rights specifically we allege that they deprived them of their substantive due process procedural due process equal protection and 1st amendment rights. to me sick to see everybody stories how they kind of closely tied together everybody's story somehow has that it's consistent that the military does to people like us all the things that they put in place are all pretty much intended to help women deal with being raped better that's what they're about. and join the military halfway through my

so far military looking at group precision strike regime we are losing a major source of military advantageuple of important questions are, is this the new normal? are we going to be shut out of certain parts of the endo pacific is the chinese capabilities mature? or is there a different way to project power? the second disruptive shift could occur with in the emerging military revolution. everything from artificial intelligence to manufacturing advances from the bio scientist directed energy, hypersonic nanotechnology quantum computing and advanced robotics suggest that there is quite a high likelihood that the kind of warfare that's waged in the mid-2030s will be very different even from what we anticipate today. that is a source of great potential advantage for us but also a potential source of great weakness if the chinese get it right before we do. operationally, how you fight, the people's liberation army seems to figure out better than it plans to fight in the western pacific in particular. we really have not, and i was served on the national defense strategy commission that was appo

in all of those situations i believe us military force and the use of military force did not further our national securities. so what is the counterpoint to that? the counterpoint i would point to is iran. i believe the threat of nuclear in iran poses the single greatest threat to the united states of america. the ayatollah khomeini when he chants death to america, when he chants death to israel, i believe him. i don't believe that is mere empty rhetoric. but rather it is a radical religious commitment, a zealotry. that if backed by nuclear weapon, could result in the annihilation of millions. i believe we should use every tool we have to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. what does that mean? that means diplomatic tools, that means economic tools, that means sanctions. and that means, yes, military force if necessary. sometime recently a reporter asked me a question that he thought was a gotcha question when he said would you be willing to use military force against iran and i said absolutely, that one is easel the, if iran is on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons we s

first the military balance in the indo-pacific. second the open-ended and long-term military competition between the united states and china and, third, aspects of deterrence. it's my opinion at present that the indo-pacific military balance appears favorable to the united states. that said, i haven't seen anything in the public domain or in terms of military literature that comes close to the kind of analysis and assessment of the military balance that, for example, you saw during the latter stages of cold war between the united states and the soviet union. i think for us to really get a handle on what the true military balance is, there needs to be a rigorous set of regional and functional net assessments done looking at various key aspects of the competition between the united states and china. as the competition with china is open-ended, we also need to take a long view. it's not just a snapshot of the balance, it's trends that are going to shape the balance over time and how can we improve our position, and using sir michael h

base and israeli military vehicles the israeli military is saying that hits were taken in that attack although it's not specifying if there are you know any casualties so far it said it has responded to the sources of that fire and is striking other targets inside lebanon it's also saying according to israeli media reports that the entire border between lebanon and israel which has on the leader of hezbollah warned could be ripe for attack at any point along that border in his speech on saturday night they're saying that the entirety of that border a 4 kilometer band back from it people are being told to keep inside and open the bomb shelters in that area to get the feeling area that israel was ready for this given that we haven't heard from her son nasrallah on hezbollah t.v. for a couple of weeks then he pops up twice in quick succession of a period of what 7 or 8 days. well i think israel's been ready since last sunday when he made that speech saying that israel had breached the terms of the the rules of engagement have been in place since the last israel lebanon war in 2006 he sai

and tim spicer was an officer in the military the british military he got out and was asked to come help with a company called sandline. to spices a rival gave an almost instant sense of respectability to what had previously been the most in the world and i don't personally have any difficulty would mostly i just don't like the image that comes out in most people's mind the 1st time it seems feisty i was interviewing him for a newspaper he's charming public school educated god self so and that meeting massively a feature of the construe before and it changed the agenda of the global agenda almost a problem that your company was. tim spicer was considered a respectable head of a mercenary organization but at 1st his business affairs didn't go to well he was dogged by failure for example he got a phone call from a fellow indian with a thai passport who was under house arrest for a financial scandal and he contacted tim spicer and wanted him to restore the president of syria i don't mean. once the president surely it was back in power this guy would then get his contracts for diamonds

big client of military equipment from the united states of a purchaser. has been playing down the well disposed failure of us made our defense systems in saudi arabia failing to intercept these these rockets these drones do you think this is damage control coming from washington do you think it's going to work. i think it is damage control and i think that if you look at the recent to military developments which have taken place in the region and beyond the conventional capabilities of state armies have proven to be very very limited when it comes to confronting these unconventional methods like using drones. non-state actors have proven to be very successful in using drones and it doesn't seem to be or these conventional militaries these states up until now don't seem to have mastered the way to confront these unconventional conventional capabilities so i think it will be quite a long time before they are able to successfully reach a way to counter these drone attacks and that makes the saudi conventional in the military capabilities very limited you kno

military aircraft have been involved in 44 accidents on the island. the latest threat is this hybrid plane the osprey notorious for its safety issues. wherever the military is based in asia there is a relationship with local people especially women that often breeds resentment. in okinawa this resentment ignited a rioting in 1970 scores of american g.i.'s pulled from a cause which was set alight. for washington and its compliant ally and tokyo it's this kind of insurrection but they fear. during the making of this film a young woman was raped and murdered allegedly by an american military contract from one of the bases. because the latest of thousands of cases of violence and it brought massive crowds into the streets demanding an end to the military occupation of their country. this is some mice misao designed to carry a nuclear warhead during the cold war the united states secretly installed nuclear weapons at this to launch pad you know. most of them came to china. today the nuclear missile site is run by a buddhist organization the so-called. as a

not only neutral and depatched but very experienced military judges who have been through the military and understand the probable cause standard extremely well who are able to then make a recommendation to the judge advocate that's well thought out and well reasoned. >> i guess for my view is that the article 32 has transformed itself from what it originally had intended. so the adversarial intent article 32 was more of a tool for the defense. yes, the io was there to look at the facts and evidence and make a determination. it was a discovery tool for the defense. also the defense could put on a v-very deliberate defense, mitigation andexte nurch ating evidence as well. it's changed again in 2019. from that standpoint the original purpose of article 32 has changed. probable cause hearing. for those purposes alone it's fine. does it perfect the government's case. i don't think that's the intent of article 32. it's put on as what is necessary to get to pc. talking to some ajs in the field they feel it's a paper review and they do last as little as 15 minutes where they hand in the recor

i got educated i love the military. was 19 and i went to the cello all alone and the next thing i know i was laying on the ground i was struck from behind and 2 guys hold me down and one guy was pulling my pants down. and. you know. he was taking care of his business and you know struggled and i was being struck and hit and told you know told to shut up or they'd kill me. and i see how it destroyed my life. i mean that i'm i've been married 3 times this luckily i have a wife right now who i've been married to for 25 years. you start wondering you start sort of you know you're coming up with reasons why things are the way they are and for a long time i kept thinking i don't know if this something something else. i had never told anybody over 30 years i decided to tell my wife. it was the scariest moment my life i was going tell my wife she was going to leave me and i would be lost without her i mean honest to god i couldn't i couldn't get up every morning without my wife. you know. and i told i felt horrified and i felt

let me start with the same military strategy you described. during your tenure, the military strategy of the united states , at least the broad objectives, radically changed. we moved from a government that was really focused on counterterrorism to one that said, russia and china were revisionist powers. that was of the phraseology in the national security assessment. and that the direction of the united states had to be to deal but morethe military, broadly, to deal with matt change. yet when you talk to people within the pentagon, it is hard to change mindsets. we still have active conflicts underway in afghanistan and , obviously, iraq is still a very challenging arena. all these other areas. if we are truly going to focus on russia and china, do we have to give something up? can we continue at the pace at which we have been dealing with all of these hotspots you just described, while we are trying to refocus -- gen. dunford: it is a fair question. although i would argue that we have significantly reoriented since 2015. as you indicated, i

military base. i'm old enough to remember when there was a huge scandal about the price of hammers and nails the pentagon was purchasing at exorbitant prices and toilet seats that were extra expensive. this is now an additional amount of spending of u.s. taxpayer dollars when we are being told we don't have enough money to get tooth brushes for people being housed in military detention. is there going to be some accountability particularly if the military isn't talking? >> there must be, joy. this is a remarkable bit of reporting by politico. we see that there is good reason for president trump to use the stalinist term the enemy of the people when referring to the press, because truth is his enemy. it doesn't work to have truth and his lies and i think in this case he has the greatest difficulty drawing any line between private gain and public trust. and this brings it to light once again. i commend chairman cummings, chairman nadler. i hope they will pursue this very vigorously and promptly. this

we are defending the military. how much does the majority leader think the american public will solo. they're taking money out of the military but in the wall. and when he says, that we are hurting the military. zero no, leader mcconnell you know hurting the military and we defended them. because we want the money to go to the military. not to the wall. and by the way, in that regard, leader mcconnell did not stick with the agreement. the agreement was not only on this but the bipartisan agreement on where the money on the defense side and the non-defense side would be distributed. instead of consulting democrats, they tried to jam something down arthur's spring taking money out of defense, out of headstart and other programs in the health and human services budget andl. putt into the wall. will that wasn't going to stand. and it i will not stand. leader mcconnell, i hope you've learned her lesson. shutting down the government or trying to go forth the wall, isn't going to work. let's look at roll up our sleeves an

military force. to promote american values, those that advocate, promoting democracy throughout the globe and being willing to risk the lives of young american men and women toen do so. some have said these interventionists have never seen a war they did not like. politicians who have been associated with this brand of foreign policy, including my late colleague senator john mccain and current colleagues like marco rubio. the other point on the spectrum is isolationist. onconcern of foreign entangleme. reluctant toe engage in the wod they desire to pull back our shores. and not put our sons and daughters in harm's way. a political leader most frequently associated with this view. senator rand paul. i have long described my views as a third point. i disagree with neither of those two binary approaches to politics. my view has been described as that of a noninterventionist talk. what does that mean? what it means is i believe the overarching objective of u.s. foreign policy. the touchstone for any mili

military response or whether the u.s. we should ports should be supporting. countries in the region responding to attacks against them the iranian president hassan rouhani met with his allies in ankara and defended the he's campaign against saudi arabia. or to get him out of the way you many people are simply defending themselves these attacks a reciprocal and have to end the only solution for yemen has to be political. white house officials announced said to be debating the best course of action communication or confrontation. correspondent all over salad is in washington to tell us more all over what is u.s. president trump going to do now he seems to be blowing hot and cold. well that was a typical donald trump play that we've witnessed here today lots of back and forth threats of retaliation 1st of all and then later he walks everything back and says he does not want any military intervention at all which of course does not come as a big surprise don't forget we're nearing the 2020 election here in dollar terms reelection is a stake and the americans are

most notably, there is our military fellowship program which each year brings five military officers from each of the service branches to the headquarters in new york for a year of study and professional development. established nearly 50 years ago, we have now hosted well above 150 fellows and more than half of them have gone on to be promoted to admiral or general. it shows that we have not gotten despite, atf talent times, our best efforts. tonight, we are truly honored to welcome general joseph dunford, the 19th and current chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. he has been chairman since 2015 and will complete his four years in the position this october. before becoming chairman, he was commandant of the marine corps and commander of the international security systems force in afghanistan, among other important assignments. over two administrations now, the term of the chairman is not coterminous with the terms of the president, he has been a studied, experienced voice to two presidents and the many around him. joining the conversation tonight author david sanger, the of a new b

our military was in bad shape. we rebuilt the military, got one of the strongest economies. mike pence, who is right here, our great vice president, he said these consumer numbers are incredible. the retail numbers that weren't reported were really just incredible numbers. you know that very well. that's your world. we're doing very well. our economy is very strong. china is being affected very badly. we're taking in billions of dollars and china is eating that. china is eating the tariffs. because of the devaluation. now, that does not happen with all countries. china is china. they know what they're doing as well as anybody. the relationship with president xi is a very amazing one, very good one, but we have a spat. we're doing well. our country is doing well. look at all the regulation cutting, that allows us to do what we did. look what happened three days ago, we have an attack like that and it takes out a chunk of oil and the price goes up and now it's heading down. that would have happened years ago. it would have gone up $50. this was a blip. it's been amazing what w

i mean saudi is actually completely dependent on the on the military in the military feel that they're completely dependent on the americans they have this they have 6 patel against of patriot defense missile systems but at the same time you see they have had success to shoot down maybe 200 of these drones which have not been so sophisticated in the 1st place but now they're getting better you see i mean men or whoever the who sees combined with the iranians they definitely develop this this cup abilities they get they are getting better and their show that they can hits and the systems the saudis have to protect themselves i definitely do not sufficient means means that if they want to strike back what it's like and if they want to strike back they would need to be to have these support of the americans without they comes as one reason the americans. dissent a new contingent of soldiers to saudi arabia or last week or so rick when we look at the potential impeachment problems in washington right now how is that affecting american for a foreign policy in the region is america going to
