i fly out of okinawa, japan. gen. robinson: yay. >> thank you. -- we developed women fighter pilots. my question is regarding emerging technologies, ai's. i want to ask your comment regarding the ai to air battle management. thank you. gen. robinson: first of all, when i was that a commander in the pacific, my good friend saito-san, my husband and i had an opportunity to spend a lot of time with him. i just him a couple months ago here in washington, d.c. he's a wonderful person and i enjoyed working with him. so, ai and air battle management. me about theo show capability of ai to make a decision. -- andthe things obviously it's supposed to be a learning machine. the more you work, the more it learns. when you're sitting up there, there are times that the situation isn't exactly what we thought it was going to be. and so the human interface to that machine, and the human voice to whatever's happening out there, is very time critical, time sensitive. do i ever think is not going to happen? no. as we watch ai develop a

father did i father fought in world war ii for four years and and lead the black units that went to okinawag about today is that everything seems upside down. then the fbi was from my family's perspective the bad guys were out in my father. now the fbi is trying to find the truth. then it was russia considered evil by conservatives and now embracing russia. everything is kind of discombobulated today. >> david maraniss, do you remember resentment or fear during this period in the household? >> one of the interesting things is that i never felt Ãb my father would talk about, like for joe mccarthy or richard nixon who was in on the house of american Ãbefore that. because he was in a different place i never allowed myself to think until i was doing this book about what might have been going on inside my dad from 1957 when we got to madison until he retired. his anxiety he might've had that somebody would come and say, you are a former communist and try to blow up his own life. it never happened. i didn't even think about it. now i shudder thinking about the inner anxiety my father might've had

enlisted in the marines when he was 19, based first at camp pendleton and then 29 palms, deployed to okinawa and desert storm. two years into a frustrating career, urdiales started killing. >> i was trained to kill. boot camp. >> forensic psychiatrist park deets evaluated him. >> in describing some of the homicides he even described himself as being at war, or it's like combat, and i'm a trained killer. >> desert is opportunity for this man. why? >> well, if you're torturing and raping somebody and nobody's going to hear a woman scream, you basically can have at it. >> the killings were meticulously planned. >> in the desert, he a storage locker, and in that, he kept murder weapon, things that he could tie these women up with. >> a storage unit, veep f conver stepping off the base and returning to duty as if nothing had happened. that's how he managed to get away with murdering four women during his seven-year military career. in 1991, he was honorably discharged. but even after the marines and home in illinois he kept going back to california to hunt women. >> he would vacation out there, j

the marine corps side of my family, world war i, the battles of guam, iwo jima and okinawa. i came into the service when i was 17, into the naval academy, brand x for those of you from west point, graduated as an infantry man, spent 38 years as an infantry officer, would serve in bosnia, afghanistan and in iraq and later at the request of president obama, helped to organize and lead the global coalition against the islamic state. it is an opportunity, during q&a, i would be happy to answer your questions. frame them about service in the military, combat, what our higher moral obligations are regardless of the uniform you wear, regardless of the formation you lead, it is extraordinarily important to have this conversation. 24 years ago, almost to the day, three levels up in this building , i was going through the public gallery with my family. i have been in command of a marine battalion landing team for some time, we had been working up through a special operations program. we were about to deploy to the mediterranean, almost certainly going to end up in bosnia and my busine

so if we are talking about distance in the south china sea then why not talk about the distance of okinawa, vietnam, and taiwan to china. is there a different calculus to increase the navy surveillance and not only that but to deter china. i am afraid when i heard the recent news with the assistant secretary just resigned because he is the top pentagon asia hand but he resigned because of what was proposed not being approved. with that direct confrontation idea to the current confrontation with the state department into allies and human resources in the state department and with that endo pacific strategy if at the heart of it and if the recent encoder had no presence. with that somehow work? >> whole government approaches have been discussed at high levels of government and from this platform last year. there is a gap between distance and something we need to do and actually having it happen. it is important to begin to say this is needed. and that from which we operate the proximity question there is no argument with that geographically but still the bases have to be defended. and that s

and they were going to send him to korea and me to okinawa, japan. and, of course, he had gotten promoted early. he made rank early. he was a fighter pilot. and i'm an air battle manager. i was never going to be more more than a lt. col. if i was lucky. he was going to be a general officer. i said david, why don't i get out and you stay in? i'll follow you around and we'll do that. we didn't want kids. he looked at me, as sweet as he could, and he said, what is it that you would do if you got out? i said, well, i don't know. he said ok, you stay in, and i'll go fly for the airlines and go into the reserves. so, when it comes a time to make those decisions, that's the hard part. it doesn't have to be military married to military. they can be two people that both have jobs, and how do you orchestrate all that? and so i would say it's at half. i think we do a good job of assessing. the hard part is keeping the women in. i haven't touched base on this. i know people are looking hard on that. one of the things i would always get young ladies, come to talk

are talking about distance in the south china sea, why not talk about the distance between vietnam, okinawa, taiwan to china, is there a different calculus we should look to, to increase the tractability of our navy and normally that, to deter china. i am afraid when i heard the recent news that our assistant secretary randall cyber just resigned, because he is the top pentagon asia hand and he resigned because what he proposed not being approved or going up the bureaucracy. direct consultation ideas to the current administration, to the state department, to the allies and to our human resources in the defense department in the state department especially -- it has been stressed that the indo pacific strategy at the heart of it and at the recent meeting the us had no presence. would that somehow undermine your work? thank you. >> whole government approaches have been to the question of china for example have been discussed at high levels of government, for example mike pence advocated that from his platform last year. there is a gap in the distance and this is something we need to do and na

crisis of any president in history with less preparation than any president in history, the battle of okinawais literally at its height, one of the fiercest military battles of all time. he gets briefed on the manhattan project and has to figure out what is he going to do with this destructive weapon that may or may not work. stalin as reagan again on every one of the promises. churchill is complex. hwas complex.he doesn't know whf the countries were to be a piece in this first several days in the bathroom literally getting smart on what's been happening in the war. he has to deal with the reality that he might have to move a million men from the year ago european to the pacific theater. there is a battle between the army and navy that threatens the entire effort and get in the first four months he makes some of the most important decisions in the history of our republic, decisions that win the war that shaped the postwar order and i argue that it's a combination of truman stepping up to the job and men like dean acheson and george marshall deciding the fate of the world rests on truman being

crises of any president in history with less preparation than any president in history, the battle of okinawais literally at its height one of the fiercest military battles of all time. he gets briefed on the manhattan project and has to figure out what to do with this destructive weapons that may or may not work. stalin is reneging on every promise, churchill is complex, doesn't know where a lot of these countries are on a map, spent several days in the map room getting smart on what is happening with the war. and move 1 million men from the european theater to the pacific theater. is a bureaucratic battle between the army and navy that threatens the entire war effort and his first four months, and in history of the republic, decisions that shaped the war. i argue it is a combination of truman stepping up to the job and men like adina atkinson and george marshall defining a to the world rests on harry truman being successful in as much as they miss the great fdr there's not enough time, they don't have the luxury of acting on the grief and shock that harry truman is president. they decide to

those are the five regions in okinawa, sardinia, costa rica, and loma linda, california, where people our lives. well, we teamed up with dan to try it out in one american city and the results were remarkable. >> dan buettner said he found the recipe on how to reach a happy and healthy 100th year, 100 recipes to be exact, all written down during a two-year journey through the blue zones, places around the world where people seem to defy the limits of age. >> without heart disease, cancer or diabetes, any diseases plaguing america this is what they eat. beyond a shadow of a doubt what people are eating to live to 100. >> we're seeing 500 years of wisdom concentrated in one bowl. >> those recipes in his new book, the blue zone's kitchen. >> this is the traditional diet. >> but can eating the same meals here at home add years to our lives? we teamed up with dan in naples, florida. >> the secret sauce is blending them the way the koreans do it we showed them how to make some of the dishes, but more importantly, we help them choose three or four other people and all we did was challenge the

and out to the expense as i said that this giant battleship is going to be running the ground at okinawa. so i would say it is decisive in that respect. >> i would say that the japanese -- they didn't call it show one for no reason. this was their one chance. and the guy that should be kicking himself right now is kurita. because he had the chance to be one of the greatest heroes in his nation's history. he could have killed hundreds of thousands of americans and destroyed if he had and what is it? i mean, somebody tell me. why? if you're going to do a show thing and it's supposed to be kamikaze, and then you turn away and run away? i don't understand. you know what, he thought he was doing. but, again, i think it was inevitable that they were going to lose. it was going downhill. but this was, you know, a very, you know, amazing battle in itself. and i would love to talk a little bit about the afteraction as well. why we left those survivors in the water for over 50 hours? what was that about? i mean, the fact that we had to wait for an l.s.u. to come off the beach finish some guys to d
