army force in vietnam. this afternoon, we'll build on that conversation and talk about the ways in which the army and the nation's military leadership grappled with these issue in terms of manpower and force management. we'll introduce our panel for session three. beth bailey distinguished professor here at the university of kansas, norman kamp, meredith lair is an associate professor of history at george mason university and gary solis, add juncture professor of law at georgetown university. >> hello, everyone. good afternoon. i want to start by saying how pleased i am to be included in today's proceedings. this is a very special subject for me. i'm honored to be amongst all the distinguished historians that are, you know, speaking and attending. i was really an accidental historian. didn't set out to be one. didn't want to be one. but it came to pass. i am very pleased in 2015, the army general surgeon's office published my book, which is being illustrated, representing some 35 years off and on of an atte

military forces in south vietnam. how did the cases being prosecuted by the jag core at this time relate to what was going on? bill: this dovetails with what jim just talked about. people were there doing their jobs, and doing them well, especially in the battle space. but outside of that, as 1969 went into 1970 and people were withdrawing, that sort of thing, and there's a lot of people in vietnam as we will find out later today, most people in vietnam don't have a gun in their hands. they are in rear areas. veterans in the audience will represent the nomenclature. but as things wind down, you have a lot of people, a lot of money still there, a lot of materials still there, a lot of time on their hands, and vietnam was a good place to find trouble, because there was plenty of it. as far as military crimes, those the things we usually associate with awol, desertion, combat refusal, willful refusal, insubordination, things like that, assault and murder of a fellow soldier, usually involving rank which we tend to term a

do i want to be the last man to die in vietnam? we been fighting there were now it's time for them to fight their war. since 1956 off and on. i think the anti-vietnamese feeling has a part to play in terms of morale with us continuing operations in the field. >> for the question of racism, certainly the use of the word suggests racism but highlighting and in time be vietnamese feel affecting morale in general. >> we did our part but the vietnam a vietnamese are not doing their. it's unfair but very much prevalent. what about senior leaders? in each of the areas you've spoken on this morning, how do they perceive what's going on? were they different from soldiers in the field? were they similar? was there some generational component that you alluded to earlier, having an experience in world war ii or the lexicon of between lifers and draftees. did you get that there was a different understanding of these problems based on whether you were in a higher leadership position or in the field seeing in dealing with dealing with it? >> simu

in vietnam. this is a big step. what we have been talked about so far as been very much about the experience with in vietnam. to some extent it is almost isolated entity. where it is not connected to the politics. domestic or geopolitical. in vietnam. to what extent does it make sense for us to talk about what we have been talking about today. manpower. in vietnam without thinking more about the domestic pressures? give us a little bit more about what his motivations were. what he looked out of the country. how much is it look into vietnam. how much is elected to the domestic politics. why after making this press promise that he had no signoff by that matters. i just like to hear little bit more about what you think the validation for. >> it was my co-panelist. the motivations were very political. from recent perspectives. is the opportunity. we think about how much that may have been asking. we were quite taken by surprised and appalled at the idea. as they were involved in a difficult work, the

he emphasized there cannot be peace in vietnam without independence and unity for the people of all vietnamwhile in hanoi, we held two press interviews. deputy leader of the group speaks. from what i've seen from my own eyes and touched with my own hands, i except full responsibility. totally contrary to the facts. a member of the team says, my impression and some conviction is that america is using the vietnamese people as guinea pigs. the statement issued to the saysese investigation team these acts by the united states clearly constitute a crime of aggression against the. the crime of attacks on .onmilitary targets ♪ we are nestle hope that the results of our investigation into these criminal acts will make contributions to winning a great victory for vietnam and for independence, freedom, and peace for the vietnamese people. >> you can watch archival films on public affairs and our entirety on our weekly series real america. here on american history tv. this weekend, on american architects, we visit the library of congress in washington dc to see an autobiography written in arabic. he w

she gets to vietnam. of course they don't issue her a weapon. however, it was just after the tet offensive, she was living in a hotel in saigon. the woman she was replacing in the room kind of gave her a little tour and she opened up the bureau drawer and there was an ak-47 and ammunition just in case she needed it. so when she finished her year of tour of duty and went to her mps and said how do you turn in a weapon that you were never issued, one of the beloved female general officers general pat foot says when she went to vietnam they issued her a handbag so she could swing it and protect herself. so this is how they dressed. there were very few. i guess there were some occasions where they ended up in fatigues so to speak, so the nurses certainly did. but the line women were primarily in their dress uniforms on a daily basis because they were there kind of as clerks and things of that sort. but nevertheless, they were this. the important thing to point out is, by the time we're in vietnam, the women's movement is all restarted. bet bet bet b

i had the chance to meet vietnam again you know to learn to know about vietnam as an adult and more more than that not only as an adult but as a comedian but 100 noise was not south vietnam it was enemy's land yes it was a different country. to me hanoi words totally unknown and i think you know i would have adopted at that myself better in germany then in hanoi simply because i thought i knew one or it was germany i accept but i don't know anything or going to learn the language i'm going to learn the culture was had i went in as of yet the means is totally me stabilized because it was not the same vietnam that i had in mind but i have discovered you know. so many stories that all of us there were no winners and we were all victims of a war for from one side or the other and that's why today. i would never call the north of vietnam as the enemy land which are as victims you know of the same war standing on both sides of the fences but it's the same it's the same suffering it was the same sadness it was the same was nobody won in a war. i don't think so. millions died in that war wh

war, the american war in vietnam was not the first. the french battle the vietnamese before us and lost in a bloody in 1954. the battle the 1954 geneva accord divided vietnam into the north and the south. the emperor control the south, and the north was controlled by ho chi minh. by 1955, the emperor was pushed out, and of ireland anti-communist took over. presidentported by eisenhower, our hedge against communism in the region. u.s. -- we were getting into our own war with vietnam. , many pilotsis war were shot down -- i am going to mainly talk about those involved in the air war over vietnam. the mostly navy and air force pilots were the ones shot out of the sky over vietnam, and they would make up the pows, the majority -- not all, but the majority of the prisoners of war and many of the missing during the american war in vietnam. now, the women i talk about in the league of wives in this story, we are going to get back to the 1950's, to the world war two era. that is when these protocol guides are created -- the navy wife, the army

the american war in vietnam was not the first. the french battled the vietnamese before us and lost in a bloody defeat at the battle of -- in 1954. the 1954 geneva accords survived vietnam into the north and south. the communists were led by ho chi minh. and the emperor control the south, where they wanted closer ties with the west. out.55 they were pushed anti-communist took over, and he was supported by president eisenhower. he was our hedge against communism in the region. u.s. -- we were getting into our own war with vietnam. as part of this war, many pilots were shot down. i am going to mainly talk about those involved in the air war over vietnam. mostly navy and air force pilots were the ones shot out of the sky over vietnam. they would make up the pows. not all, but the majority of the prisoners of war, and many of the missing during the american war in vietnam. now, back to the home front and the women that i talked about in the league of wives story. we will go back to the 1950's, to the world where does world war ii era.

vietnam needs to export back.ose to 100 million people in vietnam but the big question is, you have already signed and fta with singapore and now vietnam, who is going to be next? when will it be asian? between two of the world best position economic groupings... 650 million people in asean. who could be the next two countries? indonesia, there are negotiations which seem to be going well. tylan could be next and then a region to region. let's move onto oil because opec has confirmed it extend supply cards until the end of march, 2020. the move to prop up prices is likely to anger donald trump and has demanded that saudi arabia supply more oil and help reduce prices if they want military support in its stand—off with regional rivals iran. for more on this development i am joined by my colleague, monica miller. two allies at loggerheads over oil? opec has decided to roll over oil? opec has decided to roll over the supplies until the end of march 2020. this deal was ironed out before the meeting took place between s

in vietnam. they were the seven best i knew. the picture of mel homes up there, the guy in the nice hat and all that, he lived in a in those days, and i'll include the israelis. i flew with the israelis quite a bit. that airplane. i put that in writing. his wife gave me a big kiss. [laughter] dan: but mel was that good. i enjoyed telling you about this, larry. what makes a guy that good? maybe it's a god-given talent. but mel would strap in the f4. he had that kind of perception. the airplane became one with him. now, out of the seven or eight guys, and i picked top gun, the original rose. he redefined the envelope of the f4. he knew that airplane. he knew what it would do. i got a lot of trouble with mick douglas because we flew that airplane way beyond. we never killed anybody, we never wrecked an airplane. so you get away with it. pretty soon the kill ratio goes 2:1 in vietnam. probably fifth now. now, afterreason march,ars of war, from 3 1969, to the end of the vietnam going strong,as putting

if during active military naval or air service they served offshore of the republic of vietnam during the period between january 9th $162.00 and ending on may 7th 175 this means possibly tens of thousands of veterans who have been denied their benefits will soon get the treatment they need and we can find better ways to rectify the damage of agent orange on the other hand there are times when ideology runs right into the hands of partisan politics and leaves those who need the most getting nothing a federal program that funds fertility treatments for veterans is again seeing pushback in congress by anti-abortion activists who see in vitro fertilization and surrogacy as ethically questionable due to the fact that the resulting child would not have been conceived through natural means and that genetic material should such as unfertilized eggs would end up being destroyed so this politics identity politics and party politics need to be kicked to the curb when it comes to the needs of our veterans of war joining me now to discuss this is conservative commentator worry rarely toughing than

the european union signs another free trade deal — this time with vietnam.nd on the markets: stocks have rallied as a thaw in the sino—us trade dispute tempered risks to the global economy. japan's nikkei is at a two—month top — as new tariffs avoided. hello and welcome. opec members are meeting in vienna today to consider whether to extend production cuts to try to prop up prices. but deals being made on the sidelines with non—opec members are already making headlines. saudi arabia and russia, a non—opec member, have already come out to endorse a policy aimed at pushing up the price of crude oil as the world faces a weakened economy. many analysts expect the group to roll over supply cuts of more than one million barrels per day until the end of the year. but the outlook for oil demand is murky at the moment. the ongoing trade war between the world's two biggest economies, the us and china, has held back brent crude prices in recent months. that's because fears over ongoing tariffs will damage global growth, reducing demand for the commodity. that's been co

pretty soon the kill ratio goes from 2:1 in vietnam. you probably won't ask me this, but i have to tell it. 2:1 is the reason now, after five years of war that top gun got started. from 3 march, 1969, to the end of the vietnam war, top gun was going strong, putting guys in the fleet, teaching the new tactics we designed. guess what the end kill ratio was? 24:1. that's a whole lot better. you can hold your head up high when you come back and get out of the airplane, i tell you. anyhow, i'm sorry. probably preempted you on that one. larry: no, no, we'll come back to it. i did want to ask, you sort of brought this up about flying the f4 beyond what it was designed to do. one of your themes was the be an counters restricting let's -- restricting what is possible. so in this period of time, you write about the fact that the navy actually restricts or prohibits air combat maneuvering, dogfighting, so as not to put strain on the aircraft. and combined with this idea that it's all going to be missiles, you won't need the dogfight. you will go u

dan: the kill ratio went up to what i told you it was in vietnam.orce, their senior leadership, they would not change the tactics. we brought him down to fly. proof of what should have happened. on. later went after they got started, he retired or something. the air force kamala. i will say they are joined at the hip. they shared information. they are both american fighter schools. they share information. air force, i never said a bad word about them. they built it hundred of those planes. that is one of the reasons that i had buried with me. 347 -- 340-something airplanes. those guys were as good as anybody in the world. yesterday -- yes, sir, right here. >> i salute you for all your service. i thank you for that. they took the bull out of the aircraft. did they take the bullets out of the aircraft's that were giving ground support to the infantry? >> i think he is asking about the comment that you made earlier. the navy took the bullets out of raid.y right -- sky -- did they take the bullets out of any of the ones helping those on the ground? dan:

came to me very much at home in canada but vietnam is also an integral part of. if you ask me if i was a comedian all of vietnamese i would say i'm both i don't have to choose in the same so-called you know 30 percent of either me 7 you know i'm 100 percent on both especially because i would say i've even too much cheese and bacon now i'm big enough to sit on 2 chairs and not at the crack of the chairs you know and so i would say that i understand the immigrant. poster position because i have been one but i've also become fully to me when you know i i don't know i consider myself a very often i forget that you can tell that i am not a white person of the year. and i'm reading a few books of people actually about your path. i asked her what do you experience as as a refugee does your success help you to raise awareness about the reality of free we have a referee trees i hope i hope i have had the chance to be invited to many events where i speak and now and i'm always you know happy when there's one person in the room who would come up to me and say you've changed

everyone gave us praise for singapore and not vietnam. frankly, the meeting in vietnam in terms of the deal was more important than singapore. i think what i would like to do is we will take one or two questions, as i understand it, and then i will head out to the dmz and pay my respects to everybody, including some soldiers. we have tremendous military here. and south korea. and we are going to see some of our great american soldiers. we will be talking to them, and i will be seeing kim jong-un, and a few word, you can start with a question. thank you. >> thank you very much. we will now take questions. [indiscernible] they will be answered by president moon, followed by president trump. be interpreted consecutively, so please remove the earpiece. we will not first take a question. -- we will now first take a question. >> [speaking foreign language] >> hello, mr. president. i am from cbs and i would like to first of all welcome president trump upon your second visit to the republic of korea at the restricted bilateral meeting this mornin

vietnam syndrome grows out of this idea. those afflicted with this conflicts wondered whether the united states could ever win a war again, and in the right way. and, also be in the right. among the roads to hopeful redemption was the idea that they could import just war to make the case that america would not only win wars, but when it the right way and be in the right. about, howng different sides did not debate the medieval term of just war. of thew different sides political struggle, for the sole of american foreign policy used alter therrogate to debate about the morality of foreign policy. michael walter has a role to play in this. he becomes popular after vietnam. he writes a book called "just and unjust wars" in 1977. he says that the non--- vietnam is the book that this gets any sort of play. says it is because america has this long tradition of intimate relationship with war. and people, for the most part throughout american history, war has been seen as a force for great change, it affirms something good about the

but of course, vietnam is not the only target.esident trump well.g about india as how successful has india been. in taking some of the market share when it comes to the supply chain movement? chris: india has not really been as successful as vietnam, malaysia and the philippines. i think one of the reasons for that that the indian economy is very much more domestic-focused rather than export-focused. we have seen isolated benefits, for example, exports of iphone xr starting in india. but those are going to europe rather than the united states. so india's exports are growing, but not to the u.s.. one of the challenges prime minister modi faces after the elections is performing trade policy to be more open. so far we have had things like the "make in india" transitions which have drawn the ire not just of the united states but of government. . india wants to join the regional comprehensive economic partnerships, the rcep, that is being negotiated at the moment. they would open up china, japan, south korea, but so far, india has not

you can see in vietnam japan has a big lead over china.hat this means for markets and southeast asia is that there are so many opportunities, but there will be some of these projects that are big in nature, very complex and high-value. inrever gets to be involved this project will probably be able to extend the lead, or close the lack -- close the gap. david: how much of this, james, can i -- what's throw politics in.- lets throw politics which funding source countries choose? james: politics do affect the funding to a certain degree. you can see that china is lagging behind in the philippines and vietnam. this is possibly due to tensions over this out china seat. we think that -- china sea. we think that is because vietnam is a big attraction to the japanese. the japanese have been in the region for a long time. they have a hit over china. up thats only ramped investment in the region over the past five years. that is mainly thanks to president xi jinping's initiative. yvonne: there was a lot of scrutiny around the belt and road in just t

i was in vietnam coping with extreme breakdown. and how design knows not in shorting the plan will win but not as easily you spoke about the boxed. forest let's look at the story of the people who are tackling revo pollution in india one flaw was that a staple of putting it temples and mosques around the country but they often end up in rivers considered holy the india to maintain their sanctity fix one example the ganga floor of bees reportedly accounts for 16 percent of the go to movies that ends up in what is considered india's. do young entrepreneurs and conquered have found in the ingenious solution to the seemingly complex problem. of. i got that cheese all incense sticks have always been and in this very place john reid went 15. there's a chick friend who had come to visit me in concord so and we're sitting here. is a festival which marks the ending of the winter solstice and been coming off some are some people celebrated by taking a dip in the ground this is considered is very horny. so we sat here for about an hour and we

the leader of south vietnam. when he was assassinated in talk mansfield began to more about his opposition to our havingment in actually boots on the ground in the area. originally, this opposition was behind the scenes. he respected the rights of the executive to make foreign policy , and he did not for a long time speak out publicly against our .nvolvement in vietnam as time went on, he became more and more public with his opposition. in mansfield papers, you see , kennedy,he president johnson, outlining his opposition to strategies, to having troops on the ground, outlining opposition to funding the war. to 60's, he isid talking about his opposition publicly. articles, ing in speeches he is giving, even in letters to non-constituents. one of the things about mike mansfield is that he saw every montana and who came to washington dc, he responded in person. he signed every letter. every time one of his constituents wrote him a letter, he responded. mail about of vietnam, pro and con. there is a letter that he re

the first thing was vietnam. hugen vietnam, we had a moral imperative to act, protect vietnamese that had been working with us, withelped us, had sided him, and were in the kind of difficulty you can imagine after we pulled out. were using the act to vietnamese who were eligible under the terms of the act. and what we found is that -- we interviewed in the field, we interviewed boat people and crossed borders. but what we found was that the storiesall sounded exactly the same. was pretty clear that path of responses tot went from applicant one applicant two to applicant 25. so the actual identification a persons who have well-justified fear by reason of so forth.gion and after a while, you realize it's who had hard to tell that well-justified fear and who doesn't. recognize that that's gonna be with us as long like that,standards written into the law, and we should. means that you're going to have to make some very tough decisions. be some of those may negative and with consequences to the individual. that, you d

he got tons of mail about vietnam, pro and con. here is a letter he received who lived in great falls and writes to him about being drafted. and what his plans are if he does get drafted. mansfield writes that, thank you for your letter, which i have which hasved and given me a clear understanding of your situation. know, i voted against the extension of the draft, but it is nevertheless the law of the land. i am also working to limit to the involvement in southeast asia by legislation. tonow of no other way responding to urging of conscience and what i believe to be the overriding sentiments of the people of our state. i respect your decision to state your personal decision. regrettably, i can offer you little in the way of tangible help. if you reject the justness of killing in this particular war, but still are prepared for military service, it is possible some other assignments, perhaps in the medical corps, may be open to you. he hand wrote a note on the letter back that says mike, i am indeed sorry i cannot be more encouragin

trade representative, robert lighthizer who says they're now looking at vietnam he warned vietnam hasbring down its trade surplus with the u.s., which hit a record high last year to $40 billion >> so that's part of the reason why companies would be looking beyond vietnam to pakistan, india, and elsewhere, because they're afraid that the same kind of tariff dispute might be visited upon vietnam hang around as we broaden the conversation with companies shifting production out of china on tariff fears and president trump's tough talk this morning on twitter, should we expect muchrogress from this meeting? john rutledge is chief investment officer and cnbc contributor. john, do you see it the way the president sees it, in other words, that the chinese may indeed try to run out the clock on his administrationso that they can get what they think would ostensibly be a better deal from a democrat successor to mr. trump >> tyler, my head hurts, too, and i'm not sure the president knows what the president thinks about this issue but here's the fact. the fact is that this is one of the two power
