that was a huge mistake we made in vietnam.the only way the american people will get behind it is if the reserve is involved, senior citizen soldiers, live in the communities and when they are called up the american people get behind it. if you look at the first gulf war, when president bush basically since our initial troops over there the american public was not supportive of that effort. when he called out the guard and reserve and deployed them to the first gulf war public opinion changed in favor. in 9/11 i was privileged to be the head of the marine corps reserve which we had the largest mobilization of the marine corps reserve in history. since 9/11 over 900,000 members of the reserve have been called up in afghanistan and iraq and they have gone back to their communities. we had studies that show that on weekly they didn't perform as well as counterparts. the garden reserve talked about an active duty or soldier or marine cost and when you put them in a combat formation they are cheaper because you don't have to maintai

you know, i'd been working with veterans of all wars -- world war ii, korea, vietnam -- and then 9/11 happened, and, after a few years, we felt that we wanted to make sure that something was out there, a self-help book that would be really accessible to veterans coming back from iraq or afghanistan and their families. and we really wanted to do it differently than we felt like it had been done for our vietnam veteran cohort that, you know, suffered many times in silence. >> and i know that my dad served in a couple of conflicts, and so he never talked about anything. >> that's right. >> so, therapy can help some of the complications. we saw an example of that. what are some of the other ways that the va can help with therapy? >> well, i think that there are a number of therapies out there that have some evidence that support their use in treating post-traumatic stress disorder, and the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder include intrusive symptoms, avoidance symptoms, and arousal symptoms, as well as some negative cognitions. and a lot of times, the powerful avoidance symptoms

the same thing happened in vietnam. the soviets have a good reason not to support the north vietnamese. the soviets till the very end don't believe the united states will ever linden vietnam. they don't think the seventh can win and yet they have to support them because vietnam is the case that brings it to everybody. this in vietnam, what are you? this is the re-pollution everybody sees. revolution everybody sees. in guidebooks about vietnamese officials telling soviet journalist, you give 80% of the eight and have 5% of the influence because basically you have no leverage. ok. but at least for the moment the shift creates another problem. culturalnow mired in a revolution. china will reemerge in the cultural revolution and this the u.n.a gets behind in 1971 and it doesn't write one that third world and the e.u. 98 beginningnations is to crash. development policy in the 1960's has largely failed. has not met expectations. many believe development and prosperity turns out it was now not much better than 10 years ago so

vietnam has a 70% tariff. malaysia has a 30%. another so if you sell mobile to vietnam, they put a 70% tax on it. cash seleka are to vietnam, they put a 70% tax on it. card, if you sell a to vietnam, they put a 70% tax on it. tpp would've stopped that. and they want what america produces, automobiles, tractors, agriculture, services. for us to get into that market helps support jobs here. when you have a market like that with 90 million people, you really have two choices, a 70% tariff on autos you want to sell in vietnam. you need to tear down the barrier and keep production in the united states and sell from here, or you can move your factory to vietnam. our view it was better to keep production in the united states. charlie: that was the argument donald trump used in the campaign, was that these trade agreements were not fair and were causing american workers to lose their jobs. michael: if you actually look at the agreement with the provisions were, and look at said, itld trump has is exactly what tpp addressed. 18,000 taxes

military will use for psychological treatments until well into the vietnam war.he reason i think there was this moment in world war ii is because the u.s. military invested so heavily in world war i treatment. they had the best doctors in the united states on the western front. these are guys from harvard, johns hopkins, columbia, better treating these soldiers, and there had been money poured into these field hospitals, and they are doing everything they can, and yet after the war there is population ofarge individuals who return who claim to be shellshocked and become permanently disabled. i think for the u.s. military, there's almost a feeling that, well, we try treatment and it did not work, therefore shell shock must be caused by something else. if we tried treatment and our treatment does not work, it must be because it is hereditary, and it is within the soldier and something no medical technology could ask or steel -- could fix or heal. by the time we get to world war ii, they did not include inchologist or psychiatrists the military units, and instead th

protest movement only turned more people against the vietnam war. and there was profanity on those stages at the time and all sorts of things of tn stages at the time that republicans and vietnam war supporters said, oh, well this will turn off the voters, this will keep them on our side. as long as those people behave in a way that is just, you know, is somehow across the line of network broadcast standards, then no one's going to listen to them and people will think they're crazy. and so, you know, madonna used words we all use and not accustomed to hear them on certain channels. now you can hear them on most television channels, in fact. you can't hear them on news channels and the general broadcast channels. and so, that's always been one -- that calculation of the people who have never marched and never protest anything always think that marches and protests have a negative effect. >> well, fair point. i think it's a fair question. and is probably a point that reasonable people can discuss as we go on. lawrence o'donnell, central holding, howev
