Vietnam was toward the end of the war. Summer of 70 to summer of 71. The experience stuck with me less because of anything i experienced as a combat platoon leader, but from what i saw in terms of the it gave me an idea of the terrible effects of long war. How long were you in the army . 15 years. We served until 1992. It was a year in vietnam early on. But for the most part, i was my experiences were those of a serving officer in the latter part of the cold war. We thought that we existed to be prepared, to fight world war iii, and that our ready to do that would prevent world war iii from happening. So i spent seven years in germany and most of the rest of the time in stateside units that would have deployed to germany in the event of a crisis. It was a time that patriotism equated to seeing military service. As not simply honorable but almost a part of what it meant to be a citizen. I grew up in that environment. When it came time to go to college, i had choices. And i think i went
As not simply honorable but almost a part of what it meant to be a citizen. I grew up in that environment. When it came time to go to college, i had choices. And i think i went to west point, not because i thought i was going to be a career officer, but because i was attracted to what they had to offer and thought i would save my parents some money by paying for my education. They paid for you go there too, slight. Its a stiphon. Its spending money, more than spending money, yes . Where did you grow up in illinois and indiana . I was in normal, illinois.

And when we return from hawaii in 1954, we returned to where he grew up in the northwest corner of indiana, around east chicago and hammond. Her years, total years from her freshman year at the west point to the time you got out of the service, what were those years. 1965. So i became a cadet in the summer when we were ratcheting up the comba
Whatwe that means, its to use e power of the office to obtain an improper personal benefit while ignoring orfi injuring the national interest, or acts in ways that are grossly inconsistent with and undermine the separation of powers that is the foundation of our democratic system. Now, this question of whether the president engaged in abuse of power came up before when this congress considered the impeachment of president nixon. And president nixon famously said, if the president does it, it is notde illegal. And this body rejected that because thats not so. That goes directly contrary to what the founders said. But President Trump has said the same thing in responding to the prior investigation by the Department Of Justice and defending his conduct. Heres what he said. I have an article 2 where i have the right to do whatever i want as president. That he has the right to do whatever he wants as president. That is as wrong as when president nixon said a similar thing. That is not what
They earn their ability to stay in this country. Toupt deport me . Good to have you with us tonight, folks. Thank you for watching. There are times in peoples career where you are presented with the opportunity to move forward and you take advantage of it or blow it. This was not a good weekend for this man, paul ryon, who is on a book tour. In the midst of a conversation he says reads my book. Thats how desperate he is. When you look, august has been an extremely busy month in the news business. We have seen the Ongoing Campaign of u. S. Air strikes against targets in iraq against isis. Ferguson, missouri, one for the archiv archives. Intense protests after 18yearold Michael Brown was shot and killed by police. Congress has been on vacation. There hasnt been a lot of town hall meetings. Why is that . When your Approval Rating is in the toilet, why would you want to go see the public . Lawmakers went home before addressing the immigration crisis. That is not good for republicans. Tonig
