claimed that it did not use chemical weapons in vietnam. it instead, used chemiccal agent and not against personnel. the u.s. has used chemical agent to clear areas to flush out enemy bunkers that began yoursing hush herbicides as defensive measures and then as an offensive strategy. always careful call it a chemical agent. insofars as united states actions in vietnam, and it's refusal to sign the protocol, the u.n. refined its definition in 1967. this is where we get in the idea of eco-side. scientists in the united states and elsewhere began radicalizing themselves and organizing themselves and other sympathetic people to their view of the use of chemical agent in war as ecocide. arthur gulfson coined the term, compared it to genocide, basically saying that if you destroy the means by which a community can support itself from the natural world, then you are essentially killing them and complicit in their death. so gulfson is another scientist rallied, environmentalists and students alike to protest the war not only on humanitarian ground

so, now i am going to turn to vietnam. so we could talk a little bit about a contrasting experience for u.s. servicemen. serviceman certainly experienced a different geography in climate, but here is where we have the difference in answer to britney's question, here we've got an actual strategy of attacking the landscape, especially through the use of chemical agents. while most of these instances in korea were tactical uses of chemical agents to enhance the u.s. forces ability to identify and view their enemy, it was not a strategy, it was not a large-scale strategy. it is in vietnam when we see the strategy of using chemical on a wide scale come into place. that use the scale and the use of a different chemical, agent orange, another of rainbow agents that were used during the war, generates outcry among scientists and civilians back in the united states, and that is where we have the difference. yes victor? >> [inaudible] >> 1925 is the geneva convention on chemical weapons. >> so how are chemical agents used justifiabl

they talk about being drafted, going to vietnam, what vietnam was like, and, of course, a large part of their experience is trying to adjust, coming back, which is always pretty difficult, too, so it's quite an involved story, and we have a wide variety of these stories in the book. damian: all right, anything else you want us to know about your book, sir, before we let you go here on "comunidad del valle"? dr. ornelas: well, you can buy it, you know, it's available. damian: well, that's right. dr. ornelas: it's still available. i donate a lot of the money to the vets, these guys, so, you know, we sold the first thousand copies in a matter of--we had a presentation in the hometown, and we sold a thousand copies right there, and then we reprinted and reprinted, and the first thousand went to the vets, and then i'm trying to recoup my money. maybe i broke even. i don't know. but my--you can get the book by writing to me, mornelas@sdccd.edu, that's my email. maybe somebody would be interested. i'm still getting inquiries, and it's very gratifying. damian: okay, well, thank you for telli

so you didn't just go to vietnam and not laugh, right? there'laughter in vietnam. even in the war. there is friendship that lasts forever and good times and things you remember fondly. mike: the original bar at the tip of manhattan, where this incredible story of loyalty began, is long gone, but not the memories of the local boys from this neighborhood who were killed in vietnam. their names are memorialized in this church garden. it includes the name of marine lieutenant richard reynolds jr., who was killed before chickie could get him his beer. rick: first of all, this was uncharted territory for the most part. there weren't a lot of military installations that far north, and we were setting up and digging foxholes and so on and so forth. and then i get a message on the radio that i have to come back into the main perimeter. i walk in and there is a sergeant and i said, you called me back in? he said, i didn't call you back in, this guy did. ricky, how are you? what the hell are you doing here? chickie donahue in a madras shirt, light denim genes. >> they weren't exactly camoufla

you take off for probably your 30th mission over north vietnam. you're leading your squadron and you come in for a for an attack, drop your ordnance and you start to pull out and you're thinking already thinking about a nice dinner in the wardroom. and you're at this point in the boardroom. there were linen, tablecloth and there were a mess. steward so you're thinking about that. you were thinking about a clean bed and a hot shower. all of a sudden your aircraft shakes, your wings on fire. you look at your instruments, you've got seconds to figure out what to do in those 3 seconds, you realize you have to do what no aviator wants to do. you have to punch out. you punch out your your arm your leg. it hit coming out of the cockpit. your response of the your chute opens and because you're low and just coming out of a dive you're on the ground and about 15 seconds. so this whole sequence of events from you being an invincible all american naval aviator to being on the ground in foreign hostile country takes about 20 seconds. imagine quickly that trans

now, why is it that they're going to vietnam instead rather places. ok, so we have a population and therefore we have relative labor and you don't get the cost benefit. it's been a bit much lower than the other. and essentially if you compare to be it, ma'am, the label on average is just like less than half of china. we also have a government who sign or not 88 for the man. so companies who have many move fast to read and get them to enjoy the benefit when they asked the man the political police even get now he's also saying, well, move and, and that's why. and also if you don't get the monetary policy as well, so we have to let you know that like a store and that people, people in the basement quin leanne, director and portfolio manager at dragon capital speed to us earlier today. now, spain, portugal and france have agreed to build an underwater pipeline between marcia and barcelona that were to carry natural gas and eventually hydrogen. the deal comes after the 3 countries decided to abandon plans to extend the mit cat gas pipeline that would have

that is his fifth beer tops. >> i'm going to vietnam and i'm bringing a beer! pete: joining us now, marine corps veteran, author of "the greatest beer run ever." chick donahue. thanks so much for being here. is that how it happened? i want to show my support by bringing my buddy as beer? >> yeah. essentially. that's how it was. it was a great suggestion and the bartender actually asked me for my papers, he wanted to go and do it, whether it was impossible to get there on my seaman's papers, in other words, get on a ship there. i volunteered for it. i was doing nothing. it sounded like the right thing to do. pete: you had seaman's papers you could get on a military vessel. what did you do? fill a duffle bag with beer? how did you know where to find them? >> well i had their military addresses, you know. the military address doesn't go by geographical like a town or a state or county, whatever. it is just the units. so i had to find out where the units were at that time when i was in vietnam. pete: once you reached them, we're looking at photos right now of you w

people in vietnam feel worse. people in vietnam were particularly positive. in chi minh city's harsh ho chi minh city's harsh lockdown last year, norm could not leave the house, even to buy food, and she had a newjob and a new baby to content with. when surveyed, women were more likely than men to say the pandemic negatively affected their mental health. for some time, i their mental health. for some time. i was — their mental health. for some time, i was exhausted, - their mental health. for some time, i was exhausted, and i their mental health. for some time, iwas exhausted, and if| their mental health. for some | time, iwas exhausted, and if| time, i was exhausted, and if i needed some time for myself self adjustment of the toilet and stayed there for a few minutes. then after you get, 0k, minutes. then after you get, ok, breathe in, breathe out. but the survey suggests that parents of children under 18 are faring better now, on average, than most other groups. i average, than most other . rou s. ~' average, than most other u-rous. 4' ., average, than mo

like my parents for the vietnam generation there called the vietnam generation because of that war. you get the creation from world war ii. the lost generation was the first world war. i was 21 years old on when september 11 happened. the wars in iraq and afghanistan were not generally selling defining defense but they do not define my generation. people my age saying that set them on the course for what their life was going to be. so when i sam not part of the greatest generation or a lost generation it's what i felt like at times is the lost part of generation that i am kind of thise. little -- people in that experienced we are the substrata of our generation. and i think one of the reasons for that is how these wars were constructed. so from that revolution to the present day every war america spot has had a construct to consent to sustain it. i mean inyo terms of blood and treasure for those of the two things you need to sustain' to have a war. so let's look at the american civil war the construct of that war, first ever draft is inn the s u.s. civil war as of the first income t

i would probably j say america - vietnam. that got a say america — vietnam. that got a smile in the room. they are kind of going through a bit of a transition at the minute, america, but you could see the quality they've got. it is a very exciting one. there are new teams in it, it is going to 32 teams. i'm very excited about this world cup-— it being the biggest and best yet. safe journey home. as for the world cup, here in auckland the countdown is officially on, 270 days. i was iioin to is officially on, 270 days. i was going to say — is officially on, 270 days. i was going to say that. _ is officially on, 270 days. i was going to say that. of _ is officially on, 270 days. i was going to say that. of course i is officially on, 270 days. i wasl going to say that. of course you were. in the womens super league, everton held on to secure a narrow 1—0 victory at aston villa, inflicting back to back home defeats on the hosts. elsewhere, two goals from khadija shaw helped manchester city earn a second successive wsl victory at tottenham hotspur. the win ea

like like i mean my my parents, the vietnam generation, they're called the vietnam generation because of that war, you know, you have the greatest generation from world war two and you have, you know, lost generation was the first world war. i was 21 years old when september 11th happened. the wars in and afghanistan were not generationally defining events. they did not define my generation. people i meet who are my age are walking around saying that was the thing that really, you know, set them on the course for, what their life was going to be. so so i say not part of like a greatest or a lost generation. i was actually i have felt like at times is the lost part of a generation that. i am kind of this little subset, you know, the people in that experience we are. so this, this sub strata of, our generation and i think of the reasons for that is how these wars were constructed. so in from revolution to the present day, every war america has fought has had a construct to sustain and by concert to sustain. i mean, in terms of blood and treasure, those are two things you need to sustain

it could strike central vietnam but saturday morning local time. this is a rainmaker. we can see more than 300 millimeters of rainfall. flooding is likely. it's a mountainous area, so mudslides and rockslides will be a concern, as well. one more storm to talk about in the pacific. this system that is a low pressure system. it will likely slowly approach. it was battered by heavy rainfall. as we go into next week, it could curve towards taiwan. many areas of asia will see rainy conditions into next week. meanwhile, across the opposite side of the globe, we're watching a couple of systems. one system, this is karl, and last week, julia made landfall in nicaragua as a tropical depression. we have video out of el salvador to show you the damage. julia wreaked havoc on el salvador after bringing rainfall to the country. the water swamped fields. it left knee-deep flooded areas and rescuers had to carry people in their arms to evacuate them. at least 25 people have been killed because of julia. ten of them being reported in el salvador, including five soldiers. the rainy sea

like this was a truism of the vietnam war but one of the truisms of the vietnam war was the problem was we didn't fight a seven-year war. it's that we fought seven, one you wars. you could say the same thing about afghanistan. so this decision to build in plywood in many ways ironically gives us the twenty-year war because if you look at that twenty-year timeline, at any point in the 20 years or talked about obama and all the missions accomplished and rumsfeld, any point in the 20 is willing 1824 months from major troop withdrawal. when you're on the grant in afghanistan in doing like a very retail work of counterinsurgency and what you're doing is sitting down with some like listen, mullah xyz is very important that you and your people support the afghan government, the future of your nation and your people is with the afghan government and our efforts here and here is a vote were going to build your edits can be great. i can't tell you how many versions of this conversation to look at you and say yes, yes we like all that but i just watched cnn and your president said you're leaving i

in the case of vietnam, it took years to develop any kind of peace movement. by the time the significant peace movement had developed in 1967, pet name, the main target -- vietnam, the main target, had been practically destroyed at the time where the leading specialist on the topic warned vietnam may not survive as a historical entity under the most severe attacks that any country has -- that size has ever seen. by that time you began to get a peace movement. not much in congress. very little. certainly notuch among their intellectual community. it was a popular peace movement which did have an effect after years and years -- that is when the united states was working up much of indochina. the iraq war is important. first time in history there was a major protest against a war before it was officially launched. i say officially because it was already underway. but then it declined. there was not much protest later that the united states was carrying on horrendous atrocities in iraq and the lucia and other places -- fallujah, and other places. very little prote

my vietnam was divided into 2 separate states. the north returned to the viet mean while the south became a republic placed under american protection. cambodia and laos saw their sovereignty recognize it was the end of french indo. china like domino pieces falling one after the other. the loss of indo china had immediate consequences. it force france to give back to india trading post it had administered for nearly 3 centuries in ponti chevy. my god, i can. and yeah. now in october, 1954, france withdrew from asia to the apparent indifference of most french people. france had lost nearly 80000 soldiers. thousands remains to be evacuated. fighters from the 4 corners of the empire, prisoners, the wounded, damaged for life. ah french citizens would settled in indo china plus thousands of indo chinese auxiliaries who had chosen to defend the french where repatriated to france often endeavour of condition. ah, they've lost everything with reports of the deceit echoed across the whole empire. sir martha she said when it did ala cool it
