one going, right? some, the prevailing attitude, which in the marine corps had been very good at doing a pr campaign on that the marine corps was the toughest force going, right? so they wanted to prove that they could surmount the toughest training. some, they run the gamut, right? some is the normal thing, they want to get away from home. and what you get here is a very big disparity, right? because remember, this is the only african-american training camp. so you have varied experiences in getting there. and you have varied experiences with the local area in jacksonville, north carolina, right? so you have any of the recruits that have come from the south understand the prevailing attitudes of the time. they understand the jim crow south. what you'll find here is that many of the recruits from the north will be met with, for the first time, they'll be met with the realness of the jim crow system as soon as they cross over to washington, d.c.. so in the trains, they are relegated to the back cars. when they get to one montford point, not even then, when they get to the train station, they are, they h

on the constitution. unfortunately they had to prove that more so. and the marine corps is very much seen as an avenue for that. moving on, this idea of requiring a sensitive staff. the commander selected to carry out to oversee training is colonel samuel a woods native southern carolinian, a citadel grad. and because of that, again the prevailing attitude is that he possesses the know-how to understand african-americans. there is antiquated thinking here. i am not suggesting right or wrong on anything but there is antiquated thinking and a lack of description at the time on what constitutes experience to train african-american troops. in terms of his support staff then, what they look for his men -- is men who have prior experience as drill instructors and those who have served in the philippines, nicaragua, and the caribbean. the reason that is, is because they are darker complected people there. the prevailing attitude is that that experience prepares you then to train african-americans, even though they are wholly different people. so most of the initial white

e marine corps,o on their herita. educating white civilians that had no ideas that this unit existed, and they kind of, you know -- and the idea was at the start, you w know, how come noby knows about these group of people? and a lot of that is as most veterans you willbe find with veterans of those wars is that they just don't talk about their experiences for a good while because it's hard -- it's hard stuff. but, youou know, their stories e very important and i would encourage -- i don't know -- i can't give you an accurate number on how many remain because unfortunately whatat i' been hearing from my contact at the montford point marines association, western chapter, mr. michael johnson in the los angeles area, is that, you know -- i mean, i get the emails that unfortunately we lose one or two, you know, a month or more now becauseim they're gettg older and, of course, in our time now withod covid that's ev more pronounced. but they do a very good job. i mean, it's a nonprofit and they promote scholar

marine corps? so they're very much on the chopping block. so the commandant at the time, he has to come up with ways to show that the marines need a place in the defense industry, right? when korea happens, essentially what you have is it takes the u.s. by surprise, right? and you have only the 8th army close in japan. and the 8th army is only four division force. so you have the first cavalry, seventh division, 24th and 25th infantries, right? the only forces not anywhere near full strength, nearby at all to combat the north korean invasion in 1950. what the marine corps does is they, they are very quick to organize the first marine division and say, we're ready to go. so that effectively is one of their biggest efforts to show their right to be in the defense industry at the time was the rapidity with which they were able to move toward korea. the commander of the first marine division was major general i oliver p. smith. and he integrates 1,000 african-americans into the 1st marine division when they depart for korea. there are plenty of n

marines. one of those marines sent to perhaps the most dangerous place in afghanistan, at one of the most dangerous times in the war, one of those marines was this man. his name was dr. thomas schulman. you see him there on the left. over the course of his long service in afghanistan, he served seven astonishingly difficult and intense months in sangin. he says during his seven months in sangin, 25 marines he served with died there in that one town. more than 200 others were wounded. he recounted one particularly brutal day in sangin to "the chicago sun-times" a day in which he earned a purple heart. he said my squad leader stepped on an improvised explosive device and he lost his leg. i was blown up. my platoon sergeant was blown up in that same blast on that same day. it was one of a couple of times i was blown up on that deployment. another marine who served in sangin says they put up a map of the city when they got there and that one marine's vivid description, he said it looked like somebody

one agoing, right? some, the prevailing attitude which the marine corps had been very good at doing a pr campaign on that the marine corps was the toughest force going, right? so they wanted to prove that they could surmount the toughest training. some -- some -- they run the gamut, right? some is normal and they want to get away from home. >> and what you get here is a big disparity and remember, this is the only african-american training camp soh you have vary experiences in getting there and so you havere any of the recrui that have come from the south understand the y prevailing attitudes at the time and theyw understand the jim crow south. what you'll find is many of the recruits from the north will be met for the first time. they'll be met with the realness of the jim crow system as soon as they cross over washington, d.c., andra they're relegated t the cars and not only that, when they get to the train station they have to wait for busses to arrive and ride in the back of the busses and once they get to -- onre the drive to montfor point they are sometimes driven to camp lejeune side and they see

tonight, one marine's mission to get his interpreter out of from the front lines of chaos in afghanistan and mayhem broke out in kabul this week, after the taliban took over. now this marine's fight to make sure no man is left behind. what that is this week been like for you? >> like a deployment. felt a lot like a deployment. it was like our death. and that's what combat's like, combat is like our death. >> reporter: 7,000 miles from the chaos in afghanistan, marine corps major thomas schuman has been operating on two time zones. working day and night, desperately trying to get his former interpreter, zach, out. >> zach was with me literally every step of the way through firefights, ambushes, casualties, you name it, zach was there. >> reporter: zach is just one of thousands of afghans and americans caught in a week from hell. >> let me be clear. any american who wants to come home, we will get you home. >> reporter: today, promises from the white house. but the reality on the ground is much worse than anyone could have imagined. including new reports of the taliban harassing and beatin

who were in service, they -- you know i'll never forget a one post by sergeant nicole gee, one of two female marineson our facebook post, she was holding a baby she helped to rescue, she said, you know i love my job. i think any marine who has served would look at that, and say, she gave her life to save others. and that is a noble calling that is what all 13 of these heroes did. they sacrificed their lives so others could live. and it is very saturday at dover -- sad day at dover, very emotional for the leaders and family members, they will never be the same it was a very hard ceremony to watch and cover but important to honor to bestow. >> back to that photo of the young marine holding the baby, i think that anyone who has been on internet has seen that. it has gone viral. we thank them for what they did in their service, to the u.s. jennifer griffin thank you for joining us late at night on this topic, we appreciate it. >> thank you, ashley. >> joining us now john jordan, a former naval intelligence officer. john, if you heard jennifer now she said the 5 rockets they were fired at kabul internati

on the flip side the unit that relieved the marines, the 26th division, they decided to build but onet and it happened to be the village church of belleau which was largely destroyed when the 26th division ended up taking the division of belleau in '18 and '19 july. post-war they fund-raised and helped rebuild the village church in a new location just outside the gate of the cemetery so, again, there's not just the cemeteries to discover in these areas. there's other sites of commemoration and memory that -- that americans 100 years ago now built so, again, they are available to -- i've got the key to the village church or i can point you in the direction of second division boulders, whatever -- whatever -- whatever you find of interest, but there's a lot of interest here. >> shape, why don't you show us some of the grave markers that you're most familiar with. >> sure. right this way. so i found this story thanks to a family visitor. i just happened to be working. it was the 11th of april. i remember it. which year, 2016, so about a year and a half ago. just over here ludgar tucson.

did not get to leave, many would understand that in war despite the best efforts on the ground, mistakes are made. marines could grab people because of a security risk. what i was talking about was the specific allegations from sources on the ground and people who are assisting in these rescue operations who say that because of differences in policy, conflicting policies and a lack of coordination with the state department and the pentagon and also competing interest from people in washington, this led to chaos in which vulnerable afghans were left behind but individuals who are not at risk gets to leave. his administration willing to admit responsibility for the situation and -- ms. psaki: i have no confirmation of what you just outlined. 117,000 approximately who are not american citizens were evacuated. it more people than ever in any airlift in u.s. history. what are u.s. marines and our military did on the ground was work to evacuate as many people as humanly possible as quickly as possible. many of those people were applicants, many were green card holders, obviously we have given you the number of

one of the dark and shameful days in american history and certainly marine corps history. 11 marines, one sailor are dead. but they are dead because of the incompetence of the withdrawal. the shameful manner in which we have completely surrendered to the taliban. earlier this week i had to be on the house floor, that not allowed the president biden to withdraw until we got every american that wanted to get out of the country. required them to report to us every day on the number of americans left in country and the number of afghan allies seeking refuge. although democrats were very critical in a classified group briefing of the arbitrary augusn it came time to vote on that on the home's floor, voted against it so as not to jeopardize the $5 trillion rule to make possible the bernie sanders budget. that's where we are right now. that's where the cats priorities are. of >> jesse: doing everything possibility to pass. but not doing the minimum necessary to make sure we do not leave the citizens behind. we will see american hostages, we will see thousands of allies trance behind enemy li

one marine -- i mean, 11 marines killed, one navy corpsman killed, one soldier killed. and say i don't want any more american service members killed in this 20-year war. what do you say to them? >> well, it didn't have to happen. and as you know, you know i talked about this. the planning was -- was so bad. you talk about ambassador crocker. we did an op-ed in "new york times" asking -- advising the administration exactly what to do. start evacuating the americans months before this time. get our afghan partners and interpreters out of there. establish an isr capability close to afghanistan. and they did none of this. so now, we're down to the 11th hour. the isis-k threat is very real and they are the worst of the worst. a lot came out of the prisons. khorasan, the k stands for that. i think you will see another attack. i think our goal right now all we can hope for, the best, jake, is to get every american we can out of afghanistan by august 31st. the airport is not even -- the gates are closed right now. and the only way we can get americans out is mckenzie -- general

we are here on the battlefield where primarily a u.s. marineover three weeks a very bloodied combat in june of 1918. in fact, relieved by u.s. army troops who continued on the fight. many of whom fell into fields to my left here. beautiful french countryside as it was in 1918. you've got a lot of stories here of u.s. marine corps, u.s. army. we have our medal of honor recipient buried just behind the camera here. so many stories to tell. just trying to find ways to make that connection with the visitor who has limited time at the sites. how about the hill 204 chÂteau thierry memorial? is that under your direction as well? >> we manage out of the cemetery office. we manage the battlefield of belleau wood. two inch acres approximately of the original battle sight of belleau wood and yes hill 204, we call it the chÂteau thierry american monument, but it's on hill 204 for the meter height, 204 meters high. it's a french american monument the way it commemorates, built and maintained by the american battle monuments commission. if you take a detaile

marine corps, army, navy. what goes through your mind. you had a deal with families, gold star families on >> yeah, wolf. this is the toughest part. seeing the names, hearing the stories. i will reinforce some things you already said, maybe add a couple more. two female marines, sergeant johan johanny rosario, it was a force to specifically engage with women in afghanistan and iraq. so this is someone who said i want to do something special. nicole gee, a maintenance specialist. you say what is a mechanic doing on the frontlines like this. it is probably because they needed more women and she volunteered. she went viral on a photograph a couple days ago, holding a baby, holding hands of an afghan woman and child as she escorted them to a plane, then she tweeted out a photograph that said i love my job. army sergeant, staff sergeant ryan knauss. i will add one more that hit me hard, max soviak who you just mentioned. navy core man is a medic, the most professional, most selfless of all military members because they not only serve their country, they serve their fellow military personnel. it
