>>rived in vietnam as a u.s. army draftee. prior to coming to vietnam i was highly motivated to be a world class photo journalist and, in fact, combat photographer. i was very fortunate. i ended up with the best job one could have in vietnam. i was the only photographer there assigned to the newspaper stars and stripes. and they gave me this total freedom to go where i wanted to go and do what i wanted to do. so i spent a year there photographing combat throughout the country. in january of 1968, the tet offensive broke out. and if you're a combat photographer, you can't fake it. you need to be in the middle of things. the more dangerous the better. shortly after tet broke, i learned that the fighting in way was vicious and i krafled trave way. i went as a 20-year-old to vietnam. when i went into way, i was 20 years old. during my time in way, i made a series of photographs of 18, 19, 20-year-old marines in the midst of combat. this was house to house fighting. they'd never seen this before. they were jungle marines. but the ph

[ laughter ] he's been on the cgse, the command and general staff college faculty of the department of military history for -- since 1992. he's chaired the department for 11 years, and during that time, it has come to be known, i think i quote from the front page

vietnam is still an issue. he wants peace with honor. he wants out. he does not want it to make it look like the u.s. hed out. , and seeks negotiation finally in 1973 the united states is able to essentially get out of vietnam. , nixon'sod administration, you have the release of the so-called pentagon papers that reveal how the former administration, the nexen administration, had dealt with the war and kept information from the american people. he had some successes in terms of foreign policy as early as 1972 going to china, making inroads there, ultimately to open up better relations with the soviet union, and that is what the salt one treaty is. there is one more international issue that i wanted to mention, and that is opec. by the early to mid-1970's, the united states is beginning to feel the effects of restrictions on the free flow of oil. in the postwar period, the u.s. enjoyed low fuel prices. mid-1970's,arly to fuel prices have begun to rise and opec is restricting oil shipments. andput all this together you have the basis for understanding a certain amount of sort of broad american grievance

u.s. involvement in vietnam locked away in your safe. what changed you?t made you decide to open your safe and copy those thousands of pages and release them to the press? >> i read a study, 23 years of lies and breakg treaties, 1945 to 1968.om second, i knew it was going on under a fifth president in a row, richard nixon. i knew from insiders -- i worked for nixon at the very beginning of his administrations a consultant on vietnam. i knew he did not intend to get out but was trying to win, essentially, by threatening ourear war and to prolong puppet in saigon in power through his second term. so the war over sure was going to go on and it was going to get larger. the immediate thing was that i met young americans who were on their way to prison who had decided the strongest statement they could make about the war was not by going to sweden working a country just objector or going to vietnam, but to go to prison. themo realized looking at that if they could do it, i could do it and i should do it. the question in my mind was the good there was how can i

vietnam. so it is true that the u.s. has had a propensity over the last 70 odd years of being a kind of -- there is also a very significant counter sentiment and it is hard for u.s. presidents when called on by the countries or when pushed by domestic sources to reframe them somehow taking a leading role in the world.>> i think madeleine albright said once that your damned if you do and damned if you don't. there is the expectation that others have that we will step in as the world's policeman and the umpire. we tried umpire all of these conflicts. and i think what we are lacking still is the kind of leadership that look the aunt to the next 70 years. we've been doing this officially since 1947. but is always this odd thing that it is expected but not legitimate. it is not legitimated by national law or american lot, and yet people expected and demanded and is a -- it is a conundrum. how do we get others to take more responsibility without being bad partners ourselves, because we have created this wonderful structure of

after the vietnam war many us soldiers are still haunted by their memories many yearn for reconciliation and want to contribute to building peace it's estimated that tens of thousands of u.s. veterans have returned to vietnam mostly for short visits to the places where they once served. thank you. it's an improbable pilgrimage. there is it. gives us veterans are on a healing journey through vietnam a journey into their own past. their chocked served here in the summer of one nine hundred sixty eight he was twenty three years old he's still haunted by his experience of the war that really old demons come back or what. one doubts about what is it that the merger really becomes the moments of so their guilt. and there are or other instances one where they just have to go through quite a lot of emotional adjustment in the metals gleaming uniforms immaculate these veterans await their former enemies who now come in peace hoping to reach hearts and minds instead of weapons they're armed with smiles was a knockout fifty years ago the north vietnamese and the americans shot at one another. you know today at the veterans shake hands the vietnamese speak more united and the america

u.s. soldiers are still haunted by memories of their time in vietnam for some regular trips back to what were once the killing fields part of the healing process. it's an improbable pilgrimage. where. these u.s. veterans are on a healing journey through vietnam a journey into their own past. chocked served here in the summer of one thousand nine hundred sixty eight he was twenty three years old he's still haunted by his experience of the war that really old demons come back or what. one doubts about the work of the birds are really becoming the moments of severe guilt. and there are other instances when we're just have to go through quite a lot of emotional adjustment in metals gleaming uniforms immaculate these veterans await their former enemies who now come in peace hoping to reach hearts and minds instead of weapons they're armed with smiles. were knocked out fifty years ago the north vietnamese and the americans shot at one another. today at the veterans shake hands the vietnamese speak the more united and the americans listen . the roles are clear cut it's time for a history lesson at a

u.s. role in the world may not be as expansive. that we sort of hold that up. do we still do that? i think vietnamakes us question do we have a right to do that. so i wonder if we are at another juncture where we are thinking about the u.s. role in the world and what it should be, something that is a legacy from 1968 that way. willdon't know if this answer your question, but i would use this opportunity to read one of my favorite quotes in a press conference from president george w. bush when the united states was on the verge of debating iraq. i can remember this because the reporter who asked it had a british accent. i remember sitting up in my chair because i had not really thought of the issue in this way. , this ismr. president on the verge of war with iraq, millions of americans can recall a time when leaders of both parties sent this country on a mission of regime change in diedam, 50,000 americans and the regime is still there in harmed orit has not threatened a single american in the 30 years since the end of the war. that is the line that got me. sir,can you say tonight, to the sons and

u.s. did something in vietnam, that's why there was a need for people like you to flee and come to the united states. it was sort of a direct reaction to a u.s. intervention. so i wonder if you can comment on that and then compare what the united states has done in central america over the decades that might have prompted even generations since to be refugees. >> well, of course the united states fought a very controversial war in vietnam and one of the strangest and weirdest parts was that it was recorded on tv and in many newspaper photographs so that war felt intimate to a lot of people including many americans so when the war ended a good number of americans felt there was an obligation to help south vietnamese people for whom the united states have been fighting. now the situation with immigrants coming from south of the border is not any less complex but it's less visible to so many americans and it comes from these issues where refugees and immigrants coming from south of the boarder are coming from economic and political reasons and in many cases, they're fleeing from situations that

u.s. also paid for south korean contractors to come to vietnam and help the u.s. military. this is part of the beginning of south korea's rise from a country that was poorer than soututh vietnam m to the countr amy goodman: poorer. viet thanh nguyen: poorer in 19in the 1960s, it was poorer than south vietnam. it had just been devastated by the korean war, which killed about 2 to 3 million koreans, and was carpet-bombed by the ununited statetes. now, of course, korea, south korea, is what it is. but it'sthat history is tied in with the vietnam war. that history has almost been completely obliterated. now,w, i talk about cambodia and laos because i think a lot of americans don't even know the war was fought in cambodia and laos, , don't know thahat 3 miln vietnamese people died i in the war. but 3 million cambodians and laotians died during the war and afterwards. and it's important to bring this up, because americans,s, when ty feelel guilty, will l say, "ok,e know that t in vietnam it's cacd the american war. so maybe we should call it that." and i'm saying even that is not

endorsing lyndon johnson's strategy in the vietnam war, had betrayed the hope that the party would become a vehicle for ending the bombing and withdrawing swiftly u.sforces out of vietnam. and what i'll say about the buckley clip is, first of all, you hear how articulate buckley is. and, you know, buckley was not only a brilliant publisher, but he really was extraordinarily adept at television, at modern communications. he had his firing line show. these debates that he had with gore v. dahl which were quite heated. one documentary said this is the origins of cross fire. the origins of msnbc and fox news, cnn punditry today. and, you know, that is debatable. but buckley did, after goldwater's defeat in 1964, believe, and i think increasingly engage in the political process and endorsed nixon in 1968, and as he said at one point, i want the most right candidate, meaning the most, you know, conservative candidate, who could win. and so there was also a progress m pragmatic streak in how he ran national review and his public commentary. but he is really the leader of a whole constellation of conservative media voices, was deeply influential. and that

was that south vietnam was overtaken by the u.s., thatin the laos and cambodia would soon follow. that notion was inspired in part by what happened to eastern europe right after world war ii when various governments, mostly in central and eastern europe fell to communism. in that case it was direct soviet occupation. outconcern was it may come and take over. >> who is hunting the north korean government? vietnamese was verily heavily armed that was very heavily armed. oddsnion and china were at at that point. they were competing with each other for a greater influence in northern vietnam. that worked out well for the north vietnamese because they can play them off against each other and get more weapons. >> explain what was happening and how that is relevant to today. in north korea they began playing both sides against the middle. at the same time they were always doing their own thing. they seized the uss pueblo, which was an american shift. a spy mission on in what most people consider it international waters. happened in january of 1968 is that the north korean seized this ame
