but each have their places overall in the navy. these ships to try to put them in perspective, there may be some people who are not immersed in the detail here, are -- we are not allowed to talk about the price that's been bid, but generally speaking you're looking at you could buy five of these for the cost of one nuclear powered submarine. so what we are talking about is a ship that is inexpensive enough, we have enough of them, that it allows america to project its sea produce pore -- power to little corners of the world where we don't have a presence we need to have. in about a year or so ago there was talk about pirates and everybody got their best pirate voice out and talked about the pirates that were seizing commercial shipping. some of that was allowed because of the fact that we didn't have as many ships as we might like in certain areas. this would be just one example of where these ships might become useful. they would become useful in hunting submarines and for all kinds of varieties of other missions. so this proposal

the irish are serving on private warships serving in the american navy and also serving in the american regular army. now, when they fight then in upper canada, it turns out that the british regular regiments they fight against almost all were recruited in ireland, so there's actually a larger percentage of irish people serving in the british regular regiments in canada than in the american army. from an irish perspective, # 24 is a civil war between irish peoples. it's clear that something on the order of 70% of the soldiers serving in canada during this war were irish. ireland had become a primary recruiting ground for the british army in a period in which that army must expand dramatically because it's waging a global war against that polian's empire so they relaxed previous restrictions on protestants serving in the british army, and ireland becomes a place to recruit troops, and it turns out they sent a lot of these troops to canada and could continue to do so as they reenforced those troops during the course of the war. now, because the british have been very nervous that these ir

men and women are going to be in the hands of my students who will graduate to become officers in the navy and marine corps, that's a huge thing. that's a major problem that we have here. the academies were created in the 19th century when the assumption was that you had to make officers the way we make them still at the academies. but the world has changed since the 19th century. specifically the rotc has happened. the academies now produce one officer in five in any one of the given services. so we're a tiny minority, 20%, one in five as i say. rotc programs produce twice as many as we do at 1/4 of the overall cost. then the question becomes, well, are our officers any better? >> host: right. >> guest: this is all and the -- anecdotal. i've read studies and never been an conclusion that says the academy officers are better. they will tell you that. but it doesn't play well with the rotc and the enlisted people. they call them ring knockers. they are knocking with their rings on the table. >> host: do graduates of the academy are more protective of their own alumna? >> guest: seems to --

and if those 20 days elapse, the navy can sell everything at option. you had taxable goods onboard, you had to get rid of it in 20 days. and so the deadline was going to expire on december 17th at the stroke of midnight. so that's why december 16th becomes the last day for the bostonians to somehow deal with the tea. so, but the thing that the bostonians were afraid of was that it was the tea agents, the east india company's agents who were going to sneak aboard the ships, take all the tea and smuggle it into the countryside so they can then begin selling it and pay the tooth -- duty on it. so the americans actually establish sentries to watch those ships at night, and, you know, they vote on this in an open meeting at the old south meeting house, and they say, okay, we're the 20 guys who are going to be onboard tonight, and they do this for 19 days, so it's the americans who are watching the tea. they are the ones who have the power over they tea for the entire period. now, the british navy, there are three warships in the harbor and regiments of troo

we see within the navy a positive-neutral affect on this. on the chart when we sat down today that in the coast guard, the positives are 10%-44%. i would like to know why so many of the coast guard people are opposed to the repeal as opposed to other servicemen. just for the record. we talked yesterday about the fact that only a third of the people responded to this survey. i have doubts, and the reason for that is that they did not really ask the right questions. they never asked the question, do you think we should repeal do not ask do not tell? the mandate was to assess the impact of repeal and how best to implement the repeal. they were not asked to determine whether the don't ask don't tell law should be repealed. can anyone tell me why the question should not have been asked? let me ask you, general casey, should that have been asked? >> i do not think so. i do not think the survey should have been a referendum of a poll of our soldiers. there is not democracy in the military. i believe the way the survey was executed give us a vision a
