and i'm going to go back to the vietnam era first. kara, if i think to some degree what laura is describing in terms of women being much more involved in combat than ever before has to do with the kind of wars we're fighting now, but also think it has to do with cultural changes. and so the vietnam war happen in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s. this was a time when women's lives here were changing a great deal. and can you talk a little bit about how the military had to adapt to accommodate those changes here? >> sure. when you think about -- when i think about nursing in the military, so the iconic for more more to come into my mind i always remembered the ads to recruit women and had this white clad nurse leaning over a bed and a wounded soldier, and it said save his life. very romanticized ideal. you might heal the boy and then go home and marry him. and in early 1960s when the army start to recruit for vietnam, that kind of image was going to cut it entirely. they tried a little bit of that. but they also needed to say if you become a nurs

during the conflict in vietnam, more than 20,000 children lost a parent. these children suffered a profound loss and deserve the gratitude and appreciation of a nation that a sacrifice made by their families. the sons and daughters in touch worked to locate, unite and provide support to other sons and daughters and other family members wraffered to those who died and remain missing as a result of the vietnam war. the organization works to promote healing through networking and special projects and addresses high schools, college classes in hoping of providing education on the historical and emotional legacy of war. today through local chapters events, this organization has reunions and partnerships with veterans community, the sons and daughters have become examples of america's resilience. as we commemorate memorial day next week and father's day in the coming month, it is fitting that we remember the contributions and the legacy left behind by those who serve and made the ultimate sacrifice for their nation. these young men and women left their homeland t

the vietnam war had our -- the college campuses, and particularly the university of texas campus in austin, texas, in turmoil. and i had to get away from all that, and i went out to south carolina, where my folks had moved, and i got into school there, went through english and political science. and then during the time of the pentagon papers case, you remember, and right before watergate, i took a survey course in journalism. and i realized, 'here's a profession where they pay you money to go around the world and indulge all of your -- your interests, kind of like a graduate student. and all you have to do is write something about it that's interesting.' and i thought that was a great career. c-span: where'd you start then? >> guest: i started at the two county seat weekly newspapers in the swamp country of south carolina called the allendale county citizen and the hampton county guardian. and i was the editor at the te -- tender age of 20, 21 years old. and i did that for a year, and i really learned courthouse politics, general sessions court, land transactions, all the things that are

you will see a lot of people, especially some very active people in the vietnam era. the issue resonates much more with them. for younger voters, it is more of honesty. if you misled voters about this, what else are you misleading them about. you have to question the strategy -- i question the strategy of releasing a story or dropping the story at this time. one of his republican opponents has acknowledged that her campaign was the source of the story. doing so in may is ill-advised. it would've been much more an effective tool for republicans to have used in october when it may have lingered a little bit longer in the lives of the voters. it allows democrats to respond. timmy and a lot of people, it is a smaller story today than it was yesterday morning when people were were speculating that his campaign was dead in the water. host: what happens now now that this man is going to step down? caller: it was an interesting development. he stepped down and acknowledged an affair with one of his part- time staff assistance. he is married and has three children. he met with

his generation of americans were motivated by the vietnam war. one way or the other. now, frankly, i was a member of the state senate and supported that effort in the state senate. but in the late 1950's and early 1960's, the motivating force for young people in this country was civil rights. it was about living out the promise of american equality. it was about a commitment of this country, which was the bedrock of this country, that all men were created equal, and endowed not by us, but by their creator with certain unalienable rights. i want to tell my friends, i have some rhetoc here that was used in 1940, 1941, 1945, 1946, when there were some americans you didn't have to ask. they didn't have to tell. because you knew they were african-americans. there was no hiding that. and we segregated them. and i heard strom thurman stand on the floor of the senate -- he was a democrat -- speaking about discriminating against people because of the color of their skin. separate by equal. i've heard the same rhetoric. let me read some of it. the army is the wrong place for so

president kennedy and his assassination in dallas and the vietnam war. this was interesting because i didn't know that it was one thing which was common for me and my wife who's american that we found out that we both were hiding the tables in the fear of the nuclear war. because it was the solution at that time the students would be hiding under the table like it would solve anything. i think i didn't like prague -- what was happening outside very much. it wasn't very friendly place. it was a dark place. that was not that much fun going on. so at that time i painted everything in our house. i was afraid that my father would leave on some big trip again but i painted these light switches. and then i found these old chairs so i made sort of a series of chairs for people who i wanted to be my friends so this was somebody who was famous circus artist. this was a famous soccer player so he even has these socks and this was a famous tricepis player and it was red but at that time nobody knew that i would become an artist in my life. and let's face as a old per
