>> guest: the old army is a term commonly used by historians. actually it's a time from the time period referring to the regular army. there's a joke that the old army is the army before every war. so there's a bunch of old army. so my book actually starts with the professionalization of the army and it's about how that process occurs and plays out in the civil war. >> host: give us a snapshot of what the old army, prior the war of 1812, was like. >> guest: before the war of 1812, and this is drawing on really historical literature by historians -- the army before the war of 1812 is a nonprofessional. it over corps obtained their positions through political influence, and as a consequence they're not -- because they're not professionals who went through a body of education and were promoted by some system of merit, they don't perform very well during the war of 1812 so washington, dc burned. the early attempts to invade canada don't go very well. they're all catastrophes. my impression the canadians look at the war of 1812 victory, sort of a grea

it is about have been the total army package that allows us to meet our security needs. we need the right amount of national guard forces, and reserve forces and there are state requirements. and we also need to decide what we need in the u.s. army and reserve. we will continue to be completely transparent as we go through this process. >> as a follow-up on that question, you mentioned the capability that has been developed in the last decade and the need to sustain that at the individual level and the unit level. you have that capability in the national guard. time is your challenge. is there some way to modify that? >> what i tell everyone is that it is not going to be like it has been. i do not think the guard can sustain it. this gets back to employers. employers are ok because we are fighting wars in iraq and afghanistan. when the wars are over, it will be more difficult to get the employers to agree on a longtime friend. you have to understand that going in. you put the army force generation model, rotate them through that, and it allows them at certain times to inc

jeffrey guardier, how does a man with a 37 year career, four star general in the us army, distinguishede world does he take the cia job and think suddenly he will not be surveilled, and the good guys, the bad guys and everything in between, watching every step he makes, what would you be thinking? >> he was thinking with the wrong head, right? you know, i think people engage... >> i'm glad you said that. >> i figured i could get away with it. people who know him well loved him and felt he was experienced a void and we talked about he had this exciting life, he was in afghanistan and iraq and then, moved here, and perhaps felt like he was missing the excitement. >> lou: he's the head of the cia. >> still, you know, everything can get boring and then he has this woman, who is... >> lou: who he did not find boring. >> not boring and very seductive. and very complimentary. >> and very sad. has a lot of the same values. >> admired him and let me tell you... >> spent a lot of time alone. >> i think she was very deliberate, you hear people talk about david petraeus, a very gorgeous reporter sa

army reserve to help us and it's gained that now significant amount of experience. that works very well. the ways we are organized now in the army, there are some reserve and national guard units that have to be ready to deploy very quickly. those tend to be combat service support outfits and combat support outlets that require much less training capability because the guard and reserve, the issue is time. it's not money, it's time. they only have so much time to sustain regiments to the characteristics of an active component is rapidly deployable, higher readiness able to meet initial needs and the reserve component is to maintain a level of readiness that they can respond when i longer period of time, provide unique capabilities that they are better to provide an active component. as they go through this i have to balance that and then decide what to anita as we go forward? that is part of the decision if we have additional cuts that required us to go after the active reserve component. the army is not about active reserve and it's about having the right total army

us. the army is a big loser. the army is a big loser when not having land wars for obvious reasons. the army is a big loser if you shift your interests from an area of the world where much of what you're doing is dealing -- if you shift your emphasis from an adversary where is hypothetically possible to imagine invading and occupying countries to the pacific which is about an ocean and potential adversary china which nobody thinks he will invade and occupy with land forces and the question is what we doing with an enormous army. second loser is those equipment manufacturers and specialists who produce things that useful for land combat and high intensity warfare. we saw this play out with the abrams tank. what was it originally designed to do? back to the point about long lead times. was designed for the cold war. there is no place in the world we are fighting empty battles like we are envisioned in germany. the abrams tank military said we have more than we will need in the future and that makes complete sense from the strategic point of view, from the military-industrial base poin

to use the army as you know there was no political solution the regime offered no point because it was tough. even the very end we can dial a call from the regime of conduct they reach a list of conclusions not implemented there was no hope there was no way out with i can sit and talk rationally about pretty good solutions but if i have an eighteen year old who have seen his mother very nice house being demolished i can't so you go he has no excuse to use a. player who exploit those you know people and put their arms in their hands and send them money and weapons well and fortunately it seems that both internal external players as well as internal violence as aplenty i don't really see how that situation is going to get any better anytime soon thank you so much that was live from london syrian opposition activist dr rim turkmani. all right let's move on to our next story coming your way selling the holidays and wrapping up hostilities after a short break. a recently protests and demonstrations of any kind were banned until further notice and by crane a curfew as in you can't go out of

, i can come up with a scenario that makes us build a 1 million man army or make us the 100,000 man army. same with the air force and navy. so in my mind, scenarios are a guide. in order for us, say, can we meet certain scenarios if they happen. but it's not having to buy capabilities to do not call -- at night and all the service after the. first want to have the right mix that allowed you to read and mixed calculations by our adversaries to it's about having that right balance, ground, air, sea, whatever we might consider that to be in order to deter eric and so, there's a size two it, there's a quality to it, and we have to make sure we have the right size and quality in order to deter conflict the what we have learned over the years is that countries watch us very close that they watch what we have our weaknesses to they can to -- exploit those weaknesses to grab have a army, joint force that can shape the environment for combatant commanders. i think is one of the things this new strategy is driving us towards which is a good thing. in the past we really not had the
