there are legal permanent residents who are in the nation's military cemeteries today from the iraq andafghan war. so i am baffled about where we are today and i think this is a very important hearing, but i also believe that this should be brought to the attention of the armed services committee because if there's joint legislation, it would have to be in combination with the armed services committee so that the department of defense can wake up. let me just -- forgive me if these questions have been asked and answered. there's a standard that i.c.e. is supposed to utilize when they're addressing veterans. they need to consider the criminal history evidence, united states employment history, health and service. it's come to my attention with our report that some of the folk in i.c.e. don't even know they're supposed to do that or have the list of criteria to even address. so if i could ask both of you, first, if you can tell me, what that -- what kind of complexity that puts your members or who you interact with when they're not given any fair assessment by the local ice officer becaus

this year's call comes at a unique moment for the nation's military with the recently fired secretarychief. richard spencer was ousted in the disagreement in the case of eddie gallagher. gallagher was charged with war crimes but he was committed on a lesser charge of posing with a dead isis soldier. he was facing demotion until the president intervened. today in a new "washington post" op-ed, secretary spencer is stepping up the criticism of the president. quote, this was a shocking and unprecedented intervention in a low level review. it was also a reminder that the president has very little understanding of what it means to be in the military to fight ethically or be governed by the uniform set of rules and practices. joining me medal of honor recipient and military analyst, colonel jack jacobs. colonel, happy thanksgiving, first of all to sue and to you and the rest of the family. what do you make of the op-ed and do you think he makes some valid points? >> well, he makes very valid points. the point is he's got an op-ed for one day and then it's going to fall by the wayside, nobod

the french of -- revolution, but it contributed national prejudice in france. between the wars of louis 14th and the french revolution, france experienced a dramatic military decline that stunned not just the armed forces, but the entire nation. important political aims were met, but france suffered military defeats all over europe as they march to their armies toward paris, successfully defeating the french. of victories,dful of bungling and ineffectiveness severely hampered french performance. french naval power was virtually annihilated and armed forces endured tremendous losses and americas,dia, and the losing nearly all of its strongholds overseas. andthe largest, wealthiest, most populous country in europe, these losses were seen as no .ess than a national disaster losing this war was not just an exacerbating force, but a force and what we call the military enlightenment. the world of the french enlightenment met and conjoined with the military sphere in many -- very ways. leave this did not at condemning the seven years war. in the french military enlightenment. intellectuals were deeply involved in thinking about military policy from practical perspectives

the military why didn't i learn about these other wonderful opportunities. in turn the military tells us that there are communities where the communities don't, aren't interested in military recruiting and having civilian national service opportunities as part of that system may even help military recruitment. third, linking national service to college access, jesse coleman mentioned these presidential candidates coming forward with plans. why is it if you invest in your country, why done your country invest in you why don't you get a full year of college for every year you do in doing national service. fourth recognizing national surface as a civic apprenticeship. when you finish you get a credential that's relevant to getting a job and employers see all the skishlgs leadership, collaborative problem solving, all the social and emotional skills that many employers think are missing in our workforce. finally i think a very big idea is to democratize it. basically giving it to the individual, that individual can make a choice about what accredited national service organization they want to serve in. and instead of having just large grants going to a few nonprofit organizations in the country, you would open up a
