public and the army. or this is a very unique gallery and it is a standalone gallery separate from our fighting for the nation galleries, which gives insight on the wars and the battles and the campaigns soldiers have fought since the revolutionary war up in afghanistan the military tactics the weapons the type of uniforms they were punctuated with individual soldier stories that not only talk about what the soldiers went through but also more context about the battles and or wars that they fall in kind of complementing that and strut, you know, the theme we stress here at the museum is the army values. these are seven values that soldiers today live by or live up to from loyalty duty respect selfish service honor integrity personal courage, you'll find that in the stories that you you read in the museum where the artifacts you interact with so early on it was always important to have a national museum the focus on the history of the army, right all the branches major branches have their own national muse

and descend taylor's army to conquer northern mexico. this is taylor's army. when mexico still refused to concede after he did this. poke opened the second front down here at veracruz he was the largest us amphibious assault until world war ii. more than 80 ships more than 10,000 troops. veracruz surrendered following a siege scott embarked on his epic march then to mexico city in the halls of montezuma. 260 miles away interestingly the duke of wellington, who is the victor at waterloo? kept a wall map of the campaign and his study and followed scott's campaign. he thought scott was just the greatest general of his time, which he was. poke wanted to be president of the whole country not a partisan president. produce a democrat to the core he worked hard to prevent scott and taylor who were both whigs from reaping any political profit from the war. there is reason for this george washington andrew jackson and william henry harrison had all been generals who became president. but in the process pope made enemies of both his generals. he congratulated himself on

it's the army of the shenandoah did this? and so those early newspaper accounts, they suggest that there was no element. of the army of the shenandoah that did anything. to put up a fight that morning or slow early morning assault. so for example six days after the battle. the new york tribune reported the following dislodge from its works the army fell back and disorder and all efforts to rally it or restore order failed. well, you know if you know anything about cedar creek this isn't exactly how things unfolded and this got the veterans of the six corps greatly greatly aggravated. they were concerned because again, this is their legacy. this is their their reputation. the problem is that when you have all these newspaper accounts basically telling the same story. without any degree of differentiation these early newspaper accounts these become source material. for early historians who are writing histories of the civil war so for instance dr. james moore, he was a retired surgeon from the united states army. he published i

welcome to the program chad's army has announced pro-drug president idriss deby has been killed the army says he was leading soldiers fighting rebels on the frontline that he had just won reelection and was one of africa's longest serving leaders be begins our coverage. this was chad's president idriss deby campaigning last week provisional election results indicated he'd won a 6th term in office the debbie had reportedly joined his son and other soldiers on saturday to repel an attack by a rebel group in the northern province of can in. the border with libya according to the military he was severely injured it says it will now create a transitional military council led by debbi son and has suspended the constitution or union for a transitional government will be put in place the new republican institutions we put in place to facilitate the transition and by the organization of free democratic and transparent elections following the spirit of sacrifice that the marshal of chatted for for all his life right up until his last suffering idriss deby was a former military officer who came to

the army in northern virginia on the rapid anne rappahannock river line and the army the potomac picking another place and time to launch another offensive against them. and so just to quickly follow up on that. lee's offensive than at malvern hill i guess could be criticized mutiny explicable, right? it's we've all been to malvern hill. you can pick a better what's really inexplicable there is why little jorge decided that he'd abandoned a position that would so powerful that the confederates had no chance of driving union troops off of it. that's what's inexplicable at malvern hill even more inexplicable than the confederate attacks that right. oh entirely hill he was coming back. he never really initiated the fight it sort of started on its own. i think venable might have been responsible for i mean ultimately it's certainly is lee's army, but i mean what happened in malvern hill was not i think it all similar to what happened at biggest charge where? these clearly behind it these orchestrating. yeah, i mean we're gonna get mcclellan off the hook there and i was worried peter because

army national -- what the hell is that? i thought there was only the army. the army national -- i never saw an army national guardsman anywhere in new york city. yet, there was a big contingent of new york national guardsmen in new york city itself. i never knew anything about that, you had to have an in -- >> one of the best-kept secrets. >> now, it's big. now you know about the army national guard. but nobody knew -- and so small-town america knew about it because so-and-so was a fireman but he also was with the army national guard, army reserves. that's small-town america. i'm talking about new york city, new jersey, philadelphia, nobody knew anything about that. that was sort of like -- now the active duty can't even do its job without the army national guard. so what happened was in the '70s total force came in. that was the package. and they said, okay, well, the army national guard, air national guard back then had all the world war ii, korean war stuff and they knew they weren't going to fight. they all belonged to the governor, that type of thing. t

three army divisions united states army divisions. this would be close to probably about 60,000 men. we're in fact engaged in northern luzon fighting the japanese there on. victory over japan day. in mid-august 194 so was the return to the philippines necessary, probably not although there has been some argument about this. was it worth the cost. very high cost now when the war ended in the late summer of 1945 macarthur was chosen to host the allied or the japanese surrender ceremony on board the uss. missouri in tokyo bay and so here he is sitting down at the table signing the surrender documents at that time. and so the war ended i guess in certain glorious way for douglas macarthur nimitz was there. william f. halsey was there. lots of other people who are involved in the war in the pacific were there, but it was a macarthur who essentially chaired the ceremony. now after the surrender of japan macarthur became essentially the ruler as supreme allied commander of the occupation of japan and he would serve in this capacity. areas wi

army officers in particular complained that he didn't really understand the armies needs the army's requirements. when general said that he was uninformed and determined to remain so not exactly a compliment. another big problem for eisenhower was for wilson. was it his boss? eisenhower new farm more about the pentagon than he did. it was almost a no in situation. so here is where humphrey wilson and eisenhower come together in a struggle that would last for several years. all of wilson's problems were compounded by humphrey's budget cuts. because in the early 1950s 70% federal spending was on defense. so if you're going to cut the budget, it's going to have to be defense spending. so another problem was it eisenhower was just not inclined to believe pentagon arguments. to keep its budgets up. as a career army guy. he well knew that money was being wasted at the pentagon. he understood how fiercely parochial the army and navy and air force were. even though that he had long encouraged them to think, you know more in the terms of the national interest. what bothered him especially was redundancy?

he is training an army to invade his country. is interfering in cuba's internal affairs. >> [speaking in spanish] narrator: a few weeks later, the democratic candidate for president is in new york campaigning. he issues a statement in which he says the united states is not doing enough for the cuban exiles. he says the united states ought to help them. in their television debate, vice president nixon disagrees. fmr. pres. nixon: now, i don't know what senator kennedy suggests when he says that we should help those who oppose the castro regime both in cuba and without, but i do know this that if we were to follow that recommendation, we would lose all of our friends in latin america, we would probably be condemned by the united nations, and we would not accomplish our objective. i know something else, it would be an open invitation for mr. khrushchev to come in. narrator: as the votes are counted on november 8, it is clear that a key issue has been , who knows best how to handle castro. it is the closest presidential election in u

and during after he gets out of west point he goes into the army the early army days. he's bounced around from he starts out at fort sam houston and then world war i starts and he's bounced around for posting the posting it lot of training. and now he's exposed to not only men that were educated. as we're most of these most of the students at west point. he's entered to uneducated. he's an introduced to all all and social aspects. of the young men age group of the early manhood age group the guys that were volunteering and and being drafted for the war after the war he experiences. the same thing but what the convoy across the united states 1919 he experiences. finding a whole new regions of the us that he had been to and he's not talking to boys that are men that are in his same age group that had the same military background or anything like that. these are the common people that are coming out to meet this impressive convoy to the united states, and it's not that he just drives why in waves he does stop he does talk to them. a you know, so they can have the speed of

they would meet to discuss the terms of the surrender of the army. effectively bringing about the ending of the war. that's certainly a crucial story, nationally significant and no doubt the reason this has been designated a national historic site. however, there are plenty of untold stories about ap mad dix. of course, for students of history, we struggle with that idea. if that were true, the 150 years that have followed the civil war don't make a lot of sense. in fact, during the centennial, the 100th anniversary of the centennial of the ending of the civil war in 1965, a tremendous celebration took place here marking the occasion, meanwhile the schools in this appomattox county are not integrated, in fact, it's still five years away from integration. why is it the place where our nation reunited? part of the story starts with the field behind me. something that people don't realize about appomattox is there were two battles fought here. the decision to surrender was not arbitrary, it was a reality of the the armies that surrounded him. on the mor

i had to explain, well, the army air force and army airport reported the army, and they wore the same uniform. it wasn't until 1947 that the air force became a separate organization, that they designed their own uniforms. and it just sort of grew from there. >> you raise a lot of important points, i think a lot of our viewers will find your world war ii research on your own, will come across the army of world war ii. they invented the achronims that are so abundant in our society today. was there ever a question beyond that proved challenging, to talk about what resources you may have used to discover these things? >> talk about the foot locker! >> that's what i was going to say! she said, okay, here is a picture of a foot locker. what can you tell me about it? i said, it's all a drab. it's got the guy's name, it's got his serial number, and i could trace back and say, okay, based upon this serial number, he went into the army at this general location. i think there was a path or two on it. i looked those up and said, okay, here is what's the patch. was it was such and such unit. it w

so it's the women's army corps. 47 of them served there. four of them were in the regular army. we have a couple of one offs in the air corps. in the air force. and the waves, the coast guard's were undefined. >> california was the highest number in terms of state of residents. and you can clearly see this in the infographic. and this is readily a billable to anybody who asks for these statistical data. thank you. thank you for putting it up. >> you mentioned that the chinese american women's are predominantly in the woman's air corps. -- >> no. women's army corps. excuse me. >> only two women served in the

i have got to retire from the army to get out of the army. and that is what i want to do, i want to go back to the army. bush when he became president, elected president, he did something very unusual. about two days after his election, we had seats right next to each other. and so he called me in. he called me. and he said i want to offer you a couple of jobs. and he offered me three jobs in the highest positions in the government. and i said thank you, let me go home and talk to my wife about it. and i went home, barely spoke to her about it because i didn't want any of the jobs, i wanted to go back to the army. and so i went and spoke to the chief of staff of the army and said do you have anything for me if i come back? and he said no, we have a place for you. so the next morning i went to the oval office and i said mr. president and mr. vice president, the army does want me back. enke very much, but i've got to go back to the army. and reagan kind of looked over and said that includes a fourth star? and i said yes, i'm going to get a four

in in the army and the fact rebels 'd have been doing a lot to try to enlist and recruit chaddy an army soldiers to join their cause to rise up and to and to overthrow it on the deadly regime listen i think that you know much of the the army is made up of debbie's agalloch. tribal relations and so that complicates i think the situation but it's very clear that the son is no match for debbie the father and it's not clear that he will be able to overcome not only the dissension within the military ranks but let's not forget that there's a deep resentment within the the population of chad we're just coming out of a very contentious election that that was really stolen from the chaldean people from the from the moment the campaign was was announced and so i think people's patience was growing very thin in the country with which the the institutions that debbie had put in around himself to really protect his family his tribe. from outside forces and so i think you're going to see a lot of sympathy for the stat rebels from among the population and i think that this military council that is i

army commando raid in germany that is going to fix all of this even though the army are the bad guys. >> i had information from some of our former intel people that there was extremely compelling evidence that could be gleaned from societal that is a company headquartered in barcelona, spain, that was responsible for aggregating all the information from all the machines and whatnot. that information as to how many votes were switched from republicans to democrats would've been easily established from the information that they gathered and what were the votes going in and which ones were changed going out. it turns out -- i don't know the truth, i know that there was a german tweet in german sing that on monday, u.s. army forces went into that company and grab their server, there's some that believe that this is the u.s. intelligence that manipulated all of this in order to cover their own rear ends. >> u.s. army goes to germany and seizes the server from a spanish company. because this is the server, the spanish company in germany had hues to switch, in america, all the votes from rep

senior officers have led the british army which means he doesn't like it. but. so we can conclude from this is. 4 years on after about a voice was originally given soldiers are still not quite ready to have their language policed probably because if you knew your army got a few other things to worry about let's not forget that the army has been at the forefront of the quality they've been teaching mentor on their own trousers for centuries washed on one saw it turn over. to the book. dropping bombs on middle eastern villages is the absolute definition of inclusive ity there kill everyone without prejudice. probably a long time for we see scenes like this on the front line. sort. oh my god did i say that. the n.y.p.d. especially at $75000.00 on a crime fighting robotic dog armed to the teeth with high tech cameras and microphones the police department had touted their g. dogs as a way to keep officers out of harm's way but the robotic retreat doesn't seem to have gone down very well with new yorkers. listen to. listen to. my case assistant. coach. never seen none

two other elements of the army were part of the plan, but they did not make it into the operation. the bad weather that occurred stopped both of those deployments, meaning that everything would depend on the main body's effort under washington and the army's password for the evening was victory or death. washington's plan included sending a small detachment of troops over the delaware first to secure the army's route of march. james monroe was with this contingent. in his autobiography, which he wrote in the third person late in life and actually did not complete before his death, monroe described the missional command of the vanguard of 50 men was given to captain washington. lieutenant monroe gave his service under him. on the 25th of december, 1776, they passed the delaware in front of the army in the dusk of the evening at macon i can's ferry ten miles above trenton and hastened to a point 1 1/2 miles from it, above which the road enter seconded which led from trenton to princeton for obedience of orders cutting off all communication from them in the country to trenton. mr. mon
