in world war ii and my mother was a teacher from east texas. they grew up as, you know, children of the depression and all the men went off to world war ii. this generation today will take us through these troubling times. these millennials will find a way to preserve the democracy and i think will pave the road for a bright future. here is the book. everyone at home. admiral william mcraven. thank you again. it is called sea stories: my life in special operations. great pleasure. thanks very much, brian. pleasure to be here. thank you very much. coming up, the major figure who years ago predicted that we americans would indeed be witnessing a president under investigation as we indeed are right now. how do you gauge the greatness of an suv?
democracy. so i do get concerned when the president talks about dirty cops and the fbi or doesn t listen to his intelligence professionals or, again, goes after the media. it s just not helpful. and to your point, it does impact the moral of the great men and women that are working at these phenomenal institutions. and to your point, i am a huge fan of the intelligence community, obviously, as well as the military and the first responders, so, you know, my hope, again, would be that the president would tone down the rhetoric and get back to supporting these institutions, because they will have to survive him long after he s gone as the president. admiral mcraven, thank you very much. the book is sea stories and thanks for being with us today. and as we continue, nancy pelosi picking up on her comments. investigating him since we took majority. so there is nothing new in that. but and then he had a press conference in the rose garden with all of this sort of visuals
degree in journalism and then for reasons all his own, decided to volunteer for navy seal training. we don t know how he would improved jou ed journalism but grateful nation can thank him for 37 years of service that included jumping out of a lot of perfectly good airplanes but being involved in the capture of hussein, the rescue of cap pata phillips and the raid to get bin laden. he retired with four stars. he ran as part of so com. all that means the secret and po spooky stuff that we civilians aren t supposed know about. he s here tonight as the author of sea stories, my life in special operations which went on sale just today. we re awfully happy to have you
hussein, the rescue of captain phillips and the raid to get bin laden. he retired with four stars. he ran as part of so com. all that means the secret and spooky stuff that we civilians aren t supposed know about. he s here tonight as the author of sea stories, my life in special operations which went on sale just today. we re awfully happy to have you here in our studios. good to be here. as a man with your experience, when you hear people right now talking almost cavalierly about stand by plans to perhaps more than 120,000 of our very best in a fight are iran, how do you react to that?
beds every morning after every parent has read your previous book. but in sea stories, you write about the men and women you led. and what i m impressed about in the book, it s not really about you, it s about the men and women who served under you in the bin laden raid and the rescue of captain phillips. there s been so much erosion of trust in the next generation and institutions of trust, whether it s in politicians or in the media or in banks. but the one place we still have trust is in our military. can you talk about what i call the real 1% in this country, which is the men and women who suit up, who volunteer, and go fight? i actually think it s more than that. as i ve told folks before, it may surprise you, but i m the biggest fan of the millennials you ll ever meet and i always hear this rhetoric about the fact that the millennials, they re pampered and they re soft and they re entitled. i m quick to say, then you never saw them in a firefight in afghanistan or iraq. or yo
