>> ll, as you knknow, i will iticize the secretary of defense when i think it's appropriate, but in this partular situation, thi he's doing t right thing to follow the remmendatis of his military officers r couple reasons. one, i think it's important that we listen to t militarydvice that he's been given, unlike what the esident's been doing. but the sond thing is i think the protectionand safety of the troops has to be foremost for him and in front of every decisi he makes. i alsoon't disapprove of him relooking this policy 45 days down the road if the military officerscome back and say they nt to revise it but itust shows how very concerned these military lers are about the ebola virus. >> they're coerned, but th iteration of thatxpression of concern. thmilitary sayinghere wl be a ten-day quarantine. i think you know on this broadcast i said very clearly, this outrageous, whenor health oanization calls for a 42-day quarantine and physicians say 21, andthe miitary's itial reaction or at the orrs of ecivilian leership said ten days. this has migrated to this point d as you sai as we have said here, why in the worldould not the concern about the wellbein of our tops always b foremost in the minf botothparties, the white house, the congress, the pentagon? >>well,lou, it should be. i ink on of thehis that you point up aolutely corrtly is the absence of an overall strategy to deal with the eola virus overall,us like we have see an absence of sttegy that this administration h had in dealing wi foreign licy or other destic concerns that we've had since they have en in office. >> and congssman, as we look at what is happening now with another thousand troop going to west africa, a time when this admistrati is cutting, slashing ourilitary and doing so with,t seems, almost not rectance and rbrance, why in the worl shouldthe american people not be outraged hat is happening?

>> i tnk we have a long tradition in the u. miliry of o commanders making the rit desis about the care, the feeding and th sanitation and heah of our troops. on this on i firmly onn the si ofniform milita. i think they are making the righcall, u. >>admiral, let's turn to other fficult calls and let's begin with the ilamic sta which now, it pears, that the air strike campaign is maki a differen. weave en the islamic stat have to fallbackfrom several towns now. how do you judge the progress and is this, do you believe, a sustainabldin? >> i think the ai trikesu, are only the beginning we've got to g turkeynto the game. they've got the second largest standing army in nato thiss on their border. they need ultimately to be involved against the islamic ste. we need to getato itself involved becse t u.s. shldn't have to carry this by ourselves. number three, we've got to get armsn the hds of the pemerg those troops in the northnhe kurdish partf iraq. they arehe bt fighter on the field on our sidend we have to coinue to revitalize the iraqi secuty forces. that will take time. we cano all those things but it is encouraging, we are seeing some results in effect from this air campai. t we can't bankonthis. we're not going to winthis thing fromhe air. we're going eed troops on the ground. >>nd just as progress seems to athand in the fight against th islamic state, now reports th t are using surface-toir missiles against our apache atck helicopters. how much peril and how effective are their coununtermeasures liky to be? >> i'm worried about it, lou. at the moment, only have abt a half doze u.s. helicoers involved in this figh but think over time, at's going to be an area wre we can putorce to realffect on the battlefield. the fact tt we're seeing the islamic state with these hand-hd missiles, very ncerning. again, it eaks to the need for trpsn the ground and it's not just the helicopters. ultimately these are very dangerous for transport aircraft as tey amoving troops around the field. so we' got toe concerned about this. we ought tlook for the sourc of those weapons, try anut them o, and weht to be thinking corently aboutow we caget bots o the groun not on peshmerga, not only iraqi security forces but i think u.s. special forces ca help kno down that hd-held rface-to-air missi threat. >> as we wrap up here, admiral, the u.s. marines ve pulled out of afghanistan, mp leatherneck is no me for our leathernecks an the same time, another conflict between our uniform military and civilian leadership. the mitary saying the afghans enowhere near ready. >> my view is we've got a shot. know what failure looks like and that's cdiraq, wherere the s. military esence was withdrn completely. we did not fuill ourlan keep 15,000 visors, mentors in cocountry and now we see the results ofhat. i think ifwe can kee e plan is about 12,000to 15,000 u.s. and to advisors and mentors in couny, i think we have a better than even chance of avoiding thehe kind of dee that's unfoldi now i raq. if we simply pull out like we did iraq, we are ing to see the whole thin collapse. so let's ho we can keep a sufficient number of troops there, not set any artificial timelines for withawal. agai this is only about 1200 troops from high of150,000. i think we've got aasonab chance but it will be a near run thg. >> takingnote that the admiral said, he used the hypothetical with the word "if" and added the word "hope" it sesee perilous langue to be forced to use when coitting our troops to ttle admira aays good to see you. thanks so much. author of the new bookthe cideal admiral as i hav said about him, nothing accidental about it. we recommend the book to y you highly. up nt, the 9/11fflag, t orin moon landing footage, important icons of amecan story. story. theyre allissi. from fhionetailers to healtjewelersoviders, to sportingood stores, we p provide financing solutios for all soof businesses. bankin loyalty. analytics. syengage with us. you know your dentures can ve. unlike natural. try new fixodent plus truefeel. this smooth formula helps keep deures in ple. it's fe of flavors and lorants for a closer feeli t naturat fixode. and foet it. joining me no the host, creator of h-2's lostistory and best-seing author, br meltzer. first ofof all,reato see you, my friend. >> always go t see e you. >> this is ather spectacular adventure u're taking off o our lost hiory. you're breaking ouhets already. >> it's uunbelievable, right?

means someone airliftedt out of there. this iaophisticated robbery. thissn't like taking it fr the ll. >> how about one of th big cran and put it on a boat? >> listen, or james bond's ck tng. whatever it is. but the point is, no one even kns ese thingsre gone. wh y he tse stories, you just go you kw what, we heard at one poi the bi rights was hanng on some ri guy's wall. you know what, l, history doesn't belong to some rich guy. history doesn't long to some drug dealer who is trying to lader his money through lost and stolen artifacts. history bengs to all of us. of the greatest item there, do i think we are going to find jack kennedy's pillbox hat? i would love to find those things. >> who h it? >> ththat's the ing. the actual it, the pink su she wore i in the national archivesight now. the hat is not. things like the 9/11 flag. i was jt tag to rudy giulianibo it. we all know the flag and it goes up, it's famously raised, then comes down a this greek couple steps rward and they say that'sflag. th d't want it back. they want to keep it and putt in a museum. but when theyunfurl ithey say our flag is a three by five flag the firefighters whoaise i sathat was ahree by fe flag. this isn't o flag. rudy giuliansaid true story, yot to write, he said that flag that went everywhere wasn't the ght ag. >> of allhe this rht now u are going to real to us, paof our lost hihistory, what is theoscurious to you? >>he most curious one is k's brain. let me say that again. jfk's brain isissing. we all know his body wt aft he was assassinated, went to arlington national cemetery. his brain was separad. they never did forensic testing on it. god knows what it could show us about trajectory how man shots were fired. the azg part is i don't expect anyone to bring back the brain but at one poi in time, someone had to have put it in a container and was walking around washington, d.c. with this. i want to know who took it and erdid it go. the person they suspect it to be is a family member and meone who is trying to protect their own family >> i was afraid that -- >>isten -- >> the show airs?
