this guy is a war hawk if you ever seen one not only does he defend wasteful military projects but he's been practically begging i mean begging everybody out there to stop sequestration cuts designed to save five hundred billion dollars for our country's budget check out a clip of this shameless tear jerker featuring an appeal from buck himself at the end. contracts of this nature. could radically valley would mean a loss of business will mean a loss of jobs nobody can defeat us from outside but if you don't so. we have to protect against them. now the olympics are in for another few weeks but i fear mongering wasteful spending where events save to save him again would take on two gold medals the summer and we can't campaign coffers well they are brimming with defense contractors gratitude as a result she according to the center for responsive politics northrop grumman has donated fifty thousand dollars to the congressman's campaign funds just this past year to see how it works nor the grumman scratches his back with campaign donations we can defend pretty much every single product that

week along reports of uncovered thirteen billion dollars in pentagon waste and we still hear the war hawks fear mongering over impending cuts doing their best chicken little impression. in modern warfare if you're not in dancing improving your technology become very much at risk so if we cut a trillion dollars out over the next decade our modernization programs come to a halt and you're talking about personnel cuts of gigantic proportion so you can't project force as the navy will have fewer ships than we've had one hundred years will be given one hundred fifty to two hundred thousand pink slips to active men and women in the military today and according to the secretary defense will cost one point five million jobs across the country we can't yet say precisely how bad the damage would be but it is clear that secrets ration would risk hollowing out our force and reducing its military options available to the nation we would go from being unquestionably powerful everywhere to being less visible globally clearly it would. that kind of secret cut across the board would have a serious impact n

the brits came over to dutch kindle berg, and said can you make war hawkes, which was a standard american war plane fighter. and he says, yeah, i can design a lot better plane than that for you. he said, give me 100 days, and he designed the p-51 mustang which was a very good plane, a really good plane. but then when the british got the idea of putting the rolls royce merlin engine on it, then you got a superplane, the best prop-driven fighter of the second world war. and those engines, where were they being produced? the big plant at packard in detroit where bill knudsen had a approached the presidents of packard and said i need engines. first for the british spitfire, but then also for the p-51 mustang. be all the planes, all the planes then pre-war designs except one, and that's the one that came out of the grumman's plant up in beth paige, new york. and, in fact, the only reason i've been using images at all in this speech is so i'll have an excuse to show you this one. [laughter] this is during the war. this is a failed carrier landing. as you can see, that pilot's in a bit of troubl

he was a war hawk. he was in favor of the vietnam war, had a change of heart and mind.o i think for me, it was some of the things that i learned out west. i think one of the pivotal moments was is a national security class participant. i had a professor who was a rhodes scholar, a west point graduate, a major in the army. and he came into the class one day and he wrote the name of 18 countries on the chalkboard and he said, we spend more on the military in the world combined and than these 18 countries. isn't that ridiculous? look at those countries. nato countries are not china and north korea. why do we need that much military spending? none of us knew what to say. he said i am surprised you are not more outraged by this. why do we need that much military spending. now we spend more on the military in every country in the world combined because of september 11. one thing you learn in the army is that your loyalty is to the constitution, to the american people, to the health and preservation of our country and the world. and you have to do what is best for all of those

hawks. the two planes to the amendment, have never come remotely close to passing. fiscal conservatives. [laughter] in the conduct, and i'm going to be clear about this, but the fact of the iraq war, but the conduct of it, had given policy hawks a bad name. i think that people of goodwill can disagree about the intelligence and the road war. there is very little debate once you got through the first summer of 2003, it was not working. i think that kicking him in the shins of late 2002 or early 2003 is worthless. john mccain, also, after september, -- jesus running into data could not have one. [laughter] it was the most challenging political environment for a republican ever. the fact that he got 46% is amazing to me. and i like senator mccain. look at it from a clinical way. remember the index where you add interest and inflation together? i wanted to add a new one, adding that people thought that we were on track, with the people that disapproved of the president's job performance. at the end, it would've been a hundred and 82%. i don't think anybody could have won it. that is the negative explanation. barack obama, whatever your politics, he has infused the political process w

war. and when you don't, you start to be like a bit of a chicken hawk. lot of these neoconservatives that have started these wars in the last 20 years have no war record except for rumsfeld. cheney, rove, bush. it's not an attractive portrait of people who can call for other people to suspend their lives. also, well, the whole issue of vietnam, you know, the whole -- lyndon johnson never raised taxes. and bush jr. never raised taxes during the iraq war. so, you know, the whole idea of how to fight a war is what's weird in this country. we have to learn that it's a national -- if we go to war, it's a serious thing. >> everyone's in it together. >> yeah, but we don't call it war in this country. we call it a mini-event or something. >> what was it you learned about yourself when you were in vietnam? >> oh, first of all, i learned to survive, piers. that's the hardest thing of all. which is to say get smart. because most of the time we go into a situation. we're a bit dumb. we don't know exactly what it's like till it happens. when it happens, you learn fast

war time. unless you count lincoln's few weeks of experience during the black hawk wars and the militia as militaryith none. franklin roosevelt doesn't have direct military experience. they learn on the job. they all learn on the job. and so i don't think there's much to be said in terms of the experience of being in the military that makes you more effective commander in chief in time of war. >> the book is "elusive victories: the american presidency at war." andrew polsky, thank you very much. >> thanks. >>> more "morning joe" in just a moment. sometimes, i feel like it's me against my hair.

there is a story that black, the famous indians, the black hawk war and a prominent figure in this word and for my book and for my book it will attack book it will attack st. louis and kaskaskia. dixon didn't do as he would not be of great men to kill women and children and he would leave them with your shoulders to fight it if they defeated american soldiers at the mississippi valley would fall into their laps. babcock said he considered this in the nether indians to politics into the lives used in retrospect probably decision was not in the best interest of the indians. forsyth's responsibility was primarily one of trying to keep the indians neutral. he spoke chippewa pottawattamie as well as french and has very strong personal ties to some of the indians among the pottawattamie, especially chief, was senior chief of the other voip river valley and has responsibility unsuccessful at first was to keep indians the least natural if he did not fight for the united states. after the collapse of the british position in ontario, the pottawattamie did make peace. after that, forsythe was able

and all of our deficit hawks out here, all of those folks that say, "got to cut food stamps, you got to cut education, you gugot to cut health care." oh, two wars, $2 trillion, $3 trillion, $4 trillion, no problem. no problem at all. and, for the first time, as i understand it, in the history of this country, we went to war -- which is an expensive proposition -- and at the same time not only did we not raise the money to pay for the war, we went the other way, we decided to give huge tax breaks, including to the wealthiest people in this country. you spend trillions going to w war, you give tax breaks to the wealthiest people in this country, well, that begins to add up. that's called creating a deficit. and then on top of that, because of the greed and the recklessness and illegal behavior on wall street which drove us into this recession, when you're in a recession and people are unemployed and small businesses go under, less revenue is coming in to the federal treasury. you're spending a whole lot, less revenue is coming in, you have a deficit crisis. now, some of my republican friends -- and some democrats, i should say -- they say, well,
