next weekend on american reel america, vietnam hearings 50 years later. from february 1966, the senate floor in relations committee gave equal time to critics of the war and members of the johnson administration in hearings that were televised live. here is a preview. >> the vietnam hearings were probably some of the most extraordinary ever held by congress. they were hearings and investigations into a war that was still being fought. the senate wanted to know why we were in vietnam. what the administration's policies were. they wanted to hear from opponents of the war. they gave equal status to critics as to supporters. george kennan was one of america's most customers diplomats and theorists about diplomacy. andas he wrote an article signed it mr. x. because he was a diplomat and could not take sides. that suggested the policy united -- that's just the policy the united states should follow was containment. here was the author of the containment theory saying it does not apply. this was a mistake. it is clear however justified our own action may be in o

most of the men fighting in vietnam were volunteers. but of those drafted, many came from poor or middle class families. there were accusations that many deferrals were granted to the sons of the rich and well-connected. in 1969, the draft became a lottery. and it was must-see tv. >> september 14. sharyl: by 1973, direct u.s. military action in vietnam ended and so did the draft. today, the director of the selective service agency, lawrence romo, keeps those same capsules and glass jar in his office. understand that freedom is not free, they understand the importance of registration. sharyl: it's romo's job to make sure 18-year-old men still sign up. he says the agency is equipped to on-ramp women. it would need at least six months notice. dir. romo: the thing is, we've learned with world war i, world war ii, whenever you have a big national emergency you can never say never. sharyl: but wars are run by generals and politicians. no one ever asks the young people who will fight. we thought we would, asking a group of high school students

anyone -- any journalists who covered vietnam will tell you that it was the last time there was freedom to cover a war. they could go wherever they wanted and pictures wherever they wanted. the state department and the government became very pr savvy in the other wars embedding was a way to -- to corral journalists. if you recall, bush wouldn't allow a picture of a body bag or a soldier coming home with a flag-draped cofin for years and years in iraq war. i think to say that the new york city is sensorring you have to think what they have access to. >> i think you raise important points which which i have acknowledgeed. in a way this book is a finger-wagging new york city times. i'm using the times at the engine journalism of case study. all newspapers, all magazines have been equally guilty. in a way i want us to look less at the times, which is bound by its ties to the u.s. government and instead look more for citizen reporting and citizen photography. a lot of the best reporting and photography from the resent paris bombings came from -- from independent bloggers and not from institu

the main issue in vietnam is whether they can exist in vietnam organizations that workers can organize not only at a particular place but can evolve a structure where there is true labor movement independent of the communist party. right now there is one union that is part of the government. if you believe those changes i going to be real, they should occur in meaningful ways before we vote and most importantly if there's any credibility the vietnamese government has to stop beating up people who are trying to form an independent union. >> want to thank you for doing this, appreciate you coming back. >> i appreciate, you work by the clock unlike congress. so i appreciate the chance, keep in touch because there will be more and more activity here next week as various groups

, the south vietnam could not survive without american troops defending it. so we knew they would not going to be able to fulfill his campaign promise from 68 of peace with honor in vietnam. instead he decided to take it. he timed his withdrawal, the military withdrawal from vietnam to his reelection campaign. by the time he started secretly taping his conversation in the oval office in february 1971 he already knew that is going to bring the troops home either shortly before or shortly after the election. he chose that timetable to keep saigon from falling before election day and taking a shot at a second term down with it. so it's startling to hear an american president pays such profound and important decisions that affect literally held lives of american troops just on how, printed on how they affect his own political will been. and is extended to his negotiations with the vietnamese. a negotiator idea with hanoi, secretly assuring them to the soviet union and the people's republic of china that if they waited a year or two after they brought the last ame

military action in vietnam ended and so did the draft. today, the director of the selective service agency, lawrence romo, keeps those same capsules and glass jar in his office. dir. romo: the majority of young men are patriotic, they understand that freedom is not free, they understand the importance of registration. sharyl: it's romo's job to make sure 18-year-old men still sign up. he says the agency is equipped to on-ramp women. it would need at least six months notice. dir. romo: the thing is, we've learned with world war i, world war ii, whenever you have a big national emergency you can never say never. sharyl: but wars are run by generals and politicians. no one ever asks the young we thought we would, asking a group of high school students -- young men and women -- if women should be required to register. >> i think it's definitely going to be a shock for most women, no doubt, but i do think, in terms of establishing an equal and fair chance for everyone, it's necessary. >> under the current system, if there is a draft and young

he inherited the vietnam war, as you know. and reports came to him that the north vietnamese forces were seeking sanctuary in then neutral cambodia and they were using that as a safe place, if you will, to launch invasions against the south. starting in 1969 richard nixon began to authorize the bomb bombardment of targets. and ground forces crossed the south vietnamese cambodian border and invaded cambodia. nixon did not ask for any congressional authorization. this was a secret operation from the beginning. when it was discovered, there were a lot of protests. this is where you have the kent state shooting on may 4th, 1970. you should also know that there were a lot of protests in favor of the president's action in invading cambodia. congress took a dim view, however, a president waging war without prior congressional approv approval. and we'll talk about a little bit later on, the resolution that had been passed back in 1964 authorizing lynn don johnson to act in vietnam in ways that people came to regret. it also is the roo

"it was for the misty that they y ew in vietnam. that's why the tail is 'he' and that's why you see the blue names next to the canopies of actual misty pilots that flew the misty missions in vietnam," says david miller, the paint facility manager. the names and numbers aren't the only interesting tidbit about the f-100.

vietnam hearings, 50 years later. to give equal time to members of members of the johnson of the administration. here's a preview. >> general taylor had been very much involved in vietnam policy. president kennedy sent to vietnam in 1961. he said it was a dire situation. he didn't believe the south vietnamese government could defend itself. americans bringing more naval support and air support. general taylor did not. he did not believe the u.s. combat troops should ever be sent to vietnam. he was opposed to that. but general taylor was a loyal whater and he supported the johnson administrations doing. because his telegrams are now public record. even his conversations with the presidential public record. we know he had great reservations about sending people there. line and onlythe send naval support and air support. we are engaged in the historic debate in this country. i haven't hold my view that it will be too long before the american people repudiate our war in southeast asia. they'll be good news to hanoi senato

talking about a new era in myanmar and vietnam in new transition. rishaad: the usual five-year term. hanoi our bloomberg bureau chief is here. we have this leadership change. what does it mean for direction? >> as you mentioned, bit of musical chairs. the most important job everyone was looking for is who was going to be the general secretary of the party, a very important role. it came down to two guys. the current secretary and the prime and is there. he challenge the current general secretary. he was reelected to the role. two very different men. one is known as a conservative while the ohther is a reformist. the question is who was better for investors? note was put out this morning saying they do not expect any changes for the macro economic picture. a lot of economists feel that way as well. it really was under his administration that the party signed on to the tpp. vietnam will be the biggest beneficiary and the party wants to ratify that later this year. even though you have these terms, you cannot paint them. rishaad: what was the noise lik

nations like vietnam, vietnam has a distinction confrontation if you will, political confrontation over territory. it became obit physical a couple of years ago when two ships collided, they have purchased, they just got the last of five submarines. 100 billion of defense weapons and supplies are being purchased 50 philippines a purchase they have not seen in years. obviously you could hear the aerial display at the air show has just started antonio. >> scott heidler, reporting from singapore, thanks. we're joined by gordon chang, contributor to the daily beast. always good to have you with us. this is reportedly the most advanced surface to air missile deployment in the south china sea area. why this? it is clearly an escalation. >> clearly. the hq 9 is essentially the russian s-300 and eventually they're going to get s-400 and it's going to be more advanced. what they're trying to do is close off the air space of the south china sea. in the east china sea in november 2013 they declared their air defense identification zone. they're probably going to do the same in the south china sea

much more for vietnam and for malaysia. but even that four-tenths of 1% over 15 years i think it's very much in question. because that model assumes that there will be full employment, which hasn't occurred. that model assumes that wages will keep up with productivity. that isn't true, hasn't been true. that model doesn't look at issues like income inequality, a major issue today. and that model also doesn't look at specific sectors. so i have urged the itc a to use a very different model to look at these issues, and they are going to a report by the middle of me. i hope that that will spark intensive discussion about the essence of tpp, and whether it really will benefit the working families of the united states. so let me just close. i want to read just the last paragraph, if i might. all of you have a copy. some will say that tpp is an improvement over the status quo. you'll hear that a lot. others would say that we should not, that the perfect be the enemy of the good. by the way, you've probably heard people say that h

we know that north vietnam took over south vietnam and made it a communist nation. we know that everything we fought the war for, the opposite happened. , thato recognize vietnam president clinton got huge crowds cheering him when he went to vietnam. it is a very different country. the majority of the smes were born after the war. it is part of their history. they fought a war with china more recently than i fought a war with us. it is a bit of a different situation, we know all of that. of the testimony that was given in 1966, none of them knew how it was going to end. they projected the ending. they thought the north vietnamese would give up and decide it was not worth the fight. they would go back to their country and let the south vietnamese live themselves. that is his vision. saying, we have to get out of there in the most face-saving way possible. general gavin is saying we need to create enclaves and not try to take back everything. general taylor is talking about what are the realities of the government in south vietnam. none of them know what we know and i

and this weekend, we kick off a three-week special series on the 1966 vietnam war hearings, 50 years later. senate historian emeritus donald richy. >> they were probably some of the most extraordinary hearings held by congress, an investigation into a car that was still being fought that the congress and particularly the senate wanted to know why we were in vietnam, what the administration's policies were, and they wanted to hear from opponents of the war. threw gave equal status to critics of the war as they did to supporters of the war. it was a real debate. >> this weekend, two witnesses who opposed president johnson's vietnam policies. first a february 1966 abc news special report that includes the testimony of former ambassador to the soviet union george kennan then retired general games gavin followed by questions fres senators including comarman j. william full right? in korea we learned air, naval power alone could not win a war. it was incredible to me that we had forgotten the bitter lessons so soon that we were on the verge of making that same tragic error. well, general,

i think that we're going through a process similar to what happened after the vietnam ended and all the people that were supporting that war had to quietly and slowly come to the terms with the fact that it was a mistake. we're seeing the same process happen where the consensus that it was a mistake is starting to seep in, even into right wing minds. they're trying to find a way to reconcile what has become obvious with what they believed at the time >>> looking at what donald trump did there before that debate crowd saturday night, do we really have to talk about this in two chunks. he gave one brief on the iraq war and pivoted and talked about 9/11. are they really two different things that happened to live together in the american mind? >> i think they are different. i think what generated the angry reaction from the crowd was the notion that the president lied about the intelligence to get into iraq. that's false. i know this has been a talking point for the past 10 years, but there have been two bipartisan investigations into this. there was one in 2004 and in 208. they found no ev
