naval air u.s. naval ships and so but i also think it's a time where countries may start taking advantage because of the focus of the united states on the coronavirus the the breakdown of its of the entire economy and the need to get back to work and and people's jobs so people are focus inward and meantime other activities are going on we're seeing an uptick in syria the israelis have begun intensifying its amin's in the in syria against their iranian and as bala targets and we're seeing it israel now trying to coax the united states to. instigate act actions inside of iraq and order to. get a response from iran and and then we see this action of the of the threats from pump a 0 to ship and the president really to shoot out. to shoot out the small naval naval ships so it's and of course we've got china and we've got we've got $2.00 to $2.00 carrier task forces moving into the into the south china sea and probably in response to the coronavirus and the and the comments that it's china's fault and an

uss maine is very famous in naval history for a very tragic reason. this beautiful cruiser blew up in havana harbor in 1898. and when it blew up, the nation, the united states, immediately fell in line with reporting that said this ship was blown up by spanish terrorists. we use that word. okay. so what happened? spanish-american war happened. remember thehe maine. randall first yelling randall first yelling we launched into this war. a lot of people died. we acquired some colonies. it was not a a happy chapter, l things considered. when we salvaged this ship 50 years later, we discovered that it did notot blown up because of an external mine attached to the hull. it blew up because of an internal boiler explosion. the premise of the spanish american war was not right. so i'll tell you where you find a picture of the uss men. you find on the wall in my office, wherever i've been in my career. and i keep it there to remind me that before we lose our temper,, before we launch into a war, before we make the big decision, we have to stop and make sure we

monarchy out there were all the great naval admirals work. i was talking to go to the pacific and then secretary of defense bob gates called me up and said we need you to go to europe. look at nato and i said i don't really know much about nato or europe. i'm a pacific guy. that is not when him over and so, i felt this was kind of action the night or an accident that i ended up in europe. but secondly, harlem all of our lives are accidents. our big turns, you can never predict them. so i want to the title of the book that emphasized that you can have a brilliant plan for your life, but there will be intervening moments. so that's why the name the accident admiral. >> to be reconsidered and i know a guy, mac that made your career admiral. drer... ... that's very unconventional. heio was there at the beginning of my career and at the far end when i was getting ready to become a four-star officer he was a very strong advocate. the point to make is he was a mentor who followed up so often people talk rubbing mentors but they do not follow up they

there's a couple of naval aviators sitting back here. it's hard to explain to the people who haven't been there how absolutely beautiful flying can be. combat may be, you know -- but flying. flying over the united states. i came across california yesterday, and i had a window seat, and it was one of those days when i got to look out all the way across the country and i thought, my god, what a beautiful, beautiful country we live in. that's a long-winded answer. but, yeah, exposure to it and i'm of a personality that i loved it. i would go back and do every single day of it again, if i was young enough. unfortunately, time grabbed me. but i hope that gave you an answer. >> all right. so you already sort of mentioned that you go from there, you go to basic flight training in pensacola. >> yep. >> and you absolutely loved that. >> yeah. the marines made believers out of us. you go through basic training, flight training and then go on to advance. if you do well enough, you get jets, tactical jets. you've got to realize, those of you, partic

commander i have ordered our naval forces to destroy any american terrorist force in the persian gulf to threaten security of iran's military or nonmilitary ships these are 2 leaders talking in really threatening words right each side is accusing the other of bullying of carelessness and of provocation. but here's the problem it's not just words there have now been repeated incidents in the persian gulf that should give us all pause and here's just the latest that spurred the most recent back and forth watches video. this guns on. guns on him that's what he just said that's the u.s. sailor he's heard commenting on the weapon that's not clipped right they say 11 a gun ships were apparently deliberately trying to threaten that iranians say no we're just patrolling the area and we have every right to be there the question as we watch this video though is how close are we from one of these incidents getting out of hand igniting something much bigger especially at a time when the leaders of both countries are dealing with both political and economic discontent to put it mildly we're going

en instead, he engaged with the event and the harshness of the british naval penal code. in the french military enlightenment which i will discuss in more detail, voltaire, military leadership and many others were deeply involved and thinking about rules and military policy, from philosophical and practical perspectives. instead of simply condemning war, they fostered things that could aid in france's marshalls and national crisis and at the same time alleviate the multifair yus brutality of war. understanding this broader context in france is critical for interpreting the writing of french officers who crossed the atlantic to fight in the american revolution. this brings me to my third and final reason for relaying the vignette from chapter 23 in can d candide. one of those present recorded details of the entire campaign in his memoirs and this is none other than jean-baptiste -- many scholars and enthusiasts are accustomed to reading the translated and abridged version of the memoirs relative to the independence of the united states published in 1838. however, this is a

we need to mentor more young ones in todays naval aviation. therein lies part of the story of top gun. >> did you ever find out how this loan navy squadron became to be part of norad? >> no. i didn't care as long as i got to fly. i'm not much of a politician. >> the other thing is you were flying, nicknamed the ford because of that designation. what was that like? that was the hot rod of the day. >> that was fun, challenging. never in the history of my flying career i never flew anything -- and that's why learned to dogfight. in the book it describes a place where it was illegitimate. it was the only way we could keep dogfighting alive back in'57,'58 and'59. people were trying to revert back to missiles and radar and all the magic stuff. we go out and dogfight. we would have gotten court-martialed. but we were pretty quiet guys. when you know you're doing something you probably shouldn't be doing. i'm not sure that our bosses didn't look the other way a lot. >> which brings us to something. the other thing about the f4-d is it had a lot of gun

some people may have heard of the leonard incident regarding naval officers. it appears over the last ten to 20 years, naval officers have been engaged in a bribery scheme with the malaysian businessman who essentially paid the money and gave them services that were illegal of a sexual nature, in return for their driving their ships into his shipyard so they can repair their ships. up to 60 admirals have been implicated over the last few years and hundreds of naval officers have been implicated as well. as of today, despite the military having its own penal law, not one naval officer has been prosecuted by the navy. the only prosecutions have been brought by civilian prosecutors in san diego. they are largely, these officers who were implicated, immune from any kind of civil, social, legal or cultural oversight. >> host: other questions? go head back there please. >> [inaudible question] >> host: the question is are military budgets -- what is a good number? are they too high? i think i can say that military budgets have not decreased under democrats either. i
