we hold this manpower morale after tet. and that suggests titling it manpower and morale after tet rather than in vietnam, that something changed. after the 1968 tet offensive, the media documented a growing crisis, frequent stories of malaise, challenges to authority and reports of scandals and atrocities, the most infamous of which was the mai lai massacre. and internal military documents tell much the same story. so in thinking about what happened after the tet offensive, we are thinking about -- we suggested that things were different before 1968. as we start talking about post tet, i thought it would give you -- i thought i would give you a really quick picture of pre-tet. the most common claim that originated within the military and circulated through the press is that in vietnam the united states had fielded the best-trained, best-equipped, best-disciplined force in its history, a force of very high morale. here is general westmoreland speaking in 1966, their performance is exceeding my expectations. i have the journ

we called this manpower morale after tet and by titling it manpower and morale after tet rather than the us via-- us war in vietnam, did something change? in the months and years that followed, media documented a growing crisis. frequent stories of malaise and desertion, drug use, combat refusal, challenges to legitimate authority along with scandals and atrocities most infinite-- infamous was the massacre. documents tell much the same story. in thinking about what happened after the tet offensive we suggested things were different in the period before 1968. as we start talking about post tet i thought i would give you a quick picture of pre-tran2. the most common claims-- the most common claims that are made within the military and circulated is that in vietnam the united states had the best trained, best equipped, best disciplined force in its history, one of high morale. speaking in may 1966, exceeding my expectations. i have also the journalist peter arnett in 1966 say remount -- morale is remarkably high. here's sla marshall former combat historian from world war ii who is insis

morale is a delicate flower. over the period of many months, the demerol of the company of 253 hundred men and women built under the leadership of the officers and noncommissioned officers. the demerol may be trashed. as quickly as it takes to spread the word for marine to marine or soldier to soldier. and a new iteration of strong leadership. will also take time. on the strength of the resolution, the vietnam conflict escalated and were perceived it without the victory was down the ridge of our uncertain military mission in vietnam. have a quote from a recorded meeting in the white house. interim president johnson and robert mcnamara. no matter what we do, there is no sure victory. i'm saying women find a military solution. it is an unacceptable way to a successful conclusion. that was on december 17 1965. the first expansion of the conflict in vietnam occurred did not marine expeditionary grade landed. nine months later, the secretary of defense told president johnson the war cannot be one. are return from viet

that has got to affect your morale.t has got to make you ask questions about what it is that we are doing here? but you can find that situation in almost any conflict, especially as it winds down. i mean, it is certainly the case in world war ii, and i would wager there was something similar going on more recently. so there is an interesting tooal component to this, and the relationship between the , u.s. and the vietnamese. one soldier was quoted in music in february of 1970 and he said, if nixon is going to withdraw, clearly it has been , almost a full year since the withdrawal was begun, let's all go home now. i don't want to be killed buying time for the gooks. so there is this sense of racism just inherent within the vietnam process and i wonder if that had an impact on morality. it's not that i am just leaving, it is also that i'm turning it over to the vietnamese and if it hasn't gone well, it hasn't gone well because of them, so there is blaming going on, americans placing blame on the vietnamese. is that one of

we're having some serious 2nd thoughts on the journalists at the intercept who broke this latest moraltory are starting to feel the heat from the brazilian authorities our starting point this week. is rio de janeiro. the cast of characters in this case of corruption is long the terminology confusing but the story is simple back in 2014 the judge appointed to preside over the operation car wash investigation the case brazilians call love a shuttle was surgery or more the probe uncovered money laundering bribery and corruption at the state owned energy company petrol price several members of the ruling party under leftist president dilma rousseff were jailed for their part in the scheme. moro was cheered on lionized by brazil's mostly right wing media. t.v. channels like global and. magazines like fish or he was seen as a future president now he is fighting for his political life because of an investigation into his investigation known as vast as shocked and a series of text messages between him and prosecutors that strongly suggest that legally speaking the fix was in. the most importan

even this narrow framing of asking interesting questions about the morale and relation between morale and public opinions to explore this relationship i focus on first person accounts from chaplains and official records from the chaplaincy. today, i want to ask two primary questions. first, how did the declining support from religious organizations at home and the first-hand experiences affect morale in post-tech vietnam and second, how did military chaplains, especially those who served tours in vietnam before tact and after, observe and interpret changes in treatment well? the basic trend in public opinion at the vietnam war are well known. as the were escalated, american casualties mounted. and the draft increased pressure on young american men, public support for the were declined. the national media played a critical role in shaping public opinion about the war. when the national media portrayed religious people in relation to the war in vietnam, especially after 1967, coverage was overwhelmingly about religious protest. and i were chaplain and prominent leaders from the group cl

is a moral and psychological prize. about baracked obama, and michelle obama is beautiful, and those children are great. that is the prize. people can'tblack just say that, because you elected the first black president, there is no black agenda, and walters says they are so enthralled, they are going to give this brother a pass. that is what he said. speaking just black vernacular, and giving your brother a pass, just because you it isack, this is fine, an in-house deal. andhen we think about obama black politics, walters pushed back, not because obama was trying to run as a black power president. he realized obama couldn't have one if obama raised the black power sign at the democratic national convention, if he came out on the white lawn with a that these-shirt, things would be politically disastrous. but it didn't mean that obama, because he was a black president, had to ignore a black agenda. that is fair criticism, and much different from some criticism that is trying to attack obama for not just solely advocating

claim, they say, there is a moral claim. kennedy says it on national television, june 11, 1963. president lyndon johnson says it at howard university on june 4, 1965, in a very famous howard university commencement speech, where he says that you can't have two runners, and one has been shackled, and you expect them to run the race equally. and in that speech, president johnson talks about outcomes, not just equality of opportunity, but equality of outcomes. that is what he said. so for a time, the moral claim of black citizenship, not just equal citizenship, but reparative citizenship, and we are repairing the crime of racial slavery and another century of jim crow racial segregation and anti-black violence. that is the crime that continues, even post-1965. so by the 1970's and 1980's, one thing ronald walters really challenges, and he pushes the black community on this, is to recognize that the rhetoric coming from the united states, from both republicans and democrats, is rhetoric that is abandoning this idea of black citi

there's nothing he seems to be able to say or do that is going to trigger a moral response. and at some point, you know, people who used to say right is right and wrong is wrong and moral relativism can't be accepted in our ethics discussions sure have shown an awful lot of relativism in looking that the president. they can't bring themselves to say this is wrong and i'm calling him out for it. when you lack that kind of moral clarity or courage, i think you just encourage more of the same. >> as you know, the house of representatives is going to vote on a resolution specifically condemning president trump's remarks. do you expect any republican members to join you and the democrats in this vote? >> i would expect a handful will join us, but i wouldn't look for a huge number because, frankly,

about the moral nature of the nation. and so, what i'm i -- what i am trying to do is talk about how ideology can masquerade as religion. i am sure a lot of people go yes, there is a lot of similarities and crossover. that is where i think it gets confusing. when does religion fly into ideology or become a vehicle for ideologies of power and masculinity? in this chapter, i tried to talk about a group of leaders on religious rights that use this theory in a very particular way, and i think it has a cognizant and how the religious right used abortion to moralize domestic politics at the same time. has not think that just war gotten a month -- as much detention -- attention about the debate about abortion. so why has it not been seen in these terms? you can tell me whether or not it should be. littlesame time as religious right is starting to pick up on just war, you have this other set of american intellectuals writing in " ethics" that have become captured by just war theory. calling grays is one of the -- colin grays is o

we have a moral obligation, i think, because we're the wealthiest nation on the face of the earth to make sure the wealth that we have is not just something that we horde hoard. just think about what's happening right now at the u.s. border. there's a lot of questions about how we ought to deal with the border issue on the southern border. but one thing that's certain is that people who are traveling from guatemala, from el salvador, from honduras, are fleeing conditions partly driven by violence, partly driven by abject poverty and they're looking for a way forward. i think it's in our economic interest, in our policy interest, in the national security interest, but also there's a moral obligation to try to do what we can to make sure people in that part of the world have opportunity. i was disappointed that the president stepped away from direct support to that part of the western hemisphere, the northern triangle, because that in part fuelled this really strong desire for people to flee that area. the caller makes a very good point. there's a moral obligation to support those who
