Even in the late 90s an awesome history teacher of mine referred to History as "The World War II Channel" so while the quality of the documentaries was excellent, it still had a kind of preposterously narrow focus on the current world order.
@@nutsackmania Your teacher may have called it that but I remember watching shows on the History Channel about the old west, the civil war, Vietnam, Cold War espionage (like this one), ancient Rome, archeology, you name it. It wasn't the World War 2 channel.
@GTZ Share There are youtube channels that buy licenses to old shows and post them. The copyright enforcement these days is too good for it to be here otherwise. I used to watch The Real West on youtube but that might have been pirated instead of licensed. I would try looking around.
That’s actually probably very true, someone should / might’ve even made a video on the descent of History channel into a TLC like soulless reality channel. Good analysis
@@nutsackmania Turns out it was actually your charmed 90's teacher with the preposterously narrow focus on the current world order. But, hey, he was popular so what else could matter.
Ahh. From the good ol' days. When the History Channel actually put out great content. This program is proof that, long ago, the History Channel was worth watching. I remember those days.
At 31:00 he writes CIA on a napkin and burns it in an ashtray for no possible sane reason, foreshadowing how bad the History Channel would soon become...
Yup history channel used to be good as did documentaries . Almost all modern documentaries are awful. Terrible bombastic music, terrible narrators and constant repetition of what happened 10 minutes earlier in the documentary because they think the audience is thick. Modern documentaries have been dumbed down to the attention span of younger generations. There I said it lol.
yeah documentaries have always been my thing ever since i was a kid ive always found them more entertaining and engaging than cartoons movies or anything else and yeah back in the day the history channel discovery channel and animal planet used to be where i watched pretty much everything and the sole reason i even bothered with cable now their full of reality crap that their recognizable really sucks but at least there is still youtube and curiosity lol
Those who live in once communist countries retained a very good trait even today! Highest academic levels for every child from the poorest to the richest, present & past history, geography, communities, nations is still a must! Hence children are well informed, educated even if a street sweeper but smart, hence they have a highest volume of educated, teachers, scientists, doctors etc!
Oh the good old days, when things were what you thought they were, and the radio played Rock And Roll! God I miss all of that! Especially the Rock And Roll! Rock was the best, and still is! Now we hear nothing but Pop, which is all garbage. The Rap, Hip Hop, and so called Classic Rock are all just crap. There simply is no good radio at all. The most I can take of any station is half an hour, that's it. I don't want to program my own songs. I want to be surprised! With at least 1 great new song every day. Like it used to be. God I miss it! Let the young people have anything they want, but give us what we want too! When we were young the old people had their radio stations. That's all we want. I don't want Pop, or Country. I want Rock And Roll! There are SO many types of it, it wouldn't be hard to do. But the young people hate us, and prefer to deprive us as much as they can. They call us Boomers. But I'm not a Boomer, and I don't like them either. There's a huge group between Boomers and Gen X that seems to not count. It has no name. And we are the Hard Rockers from the late 70s and early 80s. We're not the Boomers who were young adults in the early 60s. There's a 20 year difference, or more! We are not the rich, greedy, self satisified bunch that thinks they saved the world, but wrecked it instead. The bunch that did twice the damage they accuse their own parents of doing, and then sold out big time, for big bucks! Nothing mattered to them then or now, except their stuff and showing it off. Flaunting that stuff to the max. Conspicuous consumption. It's gross. And we're sandwiched between 2 groups who we don't like, and who don't like us. Without any music to listen to! It's hell! There's an awful lot more stuff to watch, but none of it is any good. Just like before. But back then we refused to watch that crap. Now people don't care if they rot their minds. They'll watch anything! So even when they're not watching, their minds have been turned to mush. They believe Trump, and people like him. Morons even dumber than themselves. God help us! It's not even worth continuing through all of this! It'll never get better though. Time to give up!
my first day of boot camp I had to change my MOS because I lost my clearance because I HONESTLY told them I had bought a small amount of marijuana when I was 15.
I agree with your premise- but remember the good ole boy network is strong in these agencies- FBI has many Mormons for example. They are a DeFacto cult and will cover. Another example is many of these guys come from rich sheltered families and simply do not have much STREET KNOWLEDGE- If u start with the premise - earn my trust- because my life is on the line- you follow your gut more. Turf wars are rampant- It hurts and hinders the ability to have any crucial objectivity in the decision-making process, Rotate assignments more - assign internal investigation assignments more rigorously. Do not put ethic employees in sensitive assignments- Chinese scientists were hired at a Academicbecame mainland
When I heard the story about 18 year spy Walker, if I said the word “death” once, I said it 1,000 times. There can be no greater betrayal than his to his country, and countrymen. He not only potentially cost American lives, he *actually* did in Vietnam.
If a Russian did the same thing and gave info to USA you would call him a hero. Sometimes a country needs to be betrayed. USA were criminals as far as the Vietnam war went. USA should be prosecuted for war crimes.
Me too! I just went on a whole raging speech to my friend about how he deserved to be sh○t for his crimes! If he doesn't deserve it, then who!? How do they expect to deter (serious, consequential) espionage if this guy isn't six feet under?
not even going to watch this video I'm ashamed what my country have fallen to. Maybe it was always this way and I was just to young, naive and starry eyed to see it. The corruption and greed in both politics & business makes me sad. It really comes to mind when I read or hear the writings of our founding fathers, 'stand for the national anthem or think of the men & women that have fought, died and became wounded serving our country. I'm old enough to know we will never achieve what America was founded on. We had our chance - God forgive us.
It's no big deal really. In America, we currently have two houses of congress and a Whitehouse with a bumper crop of losers. As you can clearly see, in America, "Loser" has become a primary job qualification.
@@Phuc_Socialist_You_Tube It's the same on this side of the pond. I always thought that anyone who wants to be a politician should automatically be disqualified. Communities should identify trustworthy and honest people from their communities who are then conscripted to serve in congress / parliament, pay them well, prevent them from having any outside business interests, ban lobbying and let them get on with running the country rather than enriching themselves.
Very good documentary. It's my belief that a credit report and banking records might be a better indicator of an agent's trustworthiness and reliability than a polygraph test.
Well I have a seriously awful credit report & a pile of debt & top secret clearance. (Not kidding) I would never sell out my country comrades. I was just having some fun there. I absolutely agree with you though. I'm just not that guy. I wouldn't do it.
I please believe me your credit history and all manner of financial activity is looked at as part of gaining Secret/Top Secret Security Clearances with the US Government.
@@christopherengel7436 I'm thinking maybe you acquired your initial security clearance with the government at a point in time when your credit history wasn't totally awful. Once given secret clearance your FICO score can tumble to room temperature levels and you'll likely be okay as OPM typically doesn't perform routine or random credit histories during the period of time your security clearance is active. 😎
What I found disturbing and enraging it that Walker did this for years and was never detected by our security. (His ex wife had to go to the FBI.) The fact that he was not detected screams loudly that they really didn't care. The intel community spent hundred of billions of dollars and yet did not know this guy was spying. It makes me so mad.
A skeptical way to look at it is that many corporations reaped the true benefits of the Cold War as the race to build expensive weapons & devise defense systems escalated. But there was no need for the “next” weapon nor system if the Soviets didn’t know we had them. Think about all the ppl employed by corporations rather than govt agencies. It’s like the govt Intel jobs existed to find reasons to continue escalating with a wink & a nod that they hoped didn’t set off a global nuclear war. So there was no lobbying to makie sure that no one was giving secrets to the enemy. Also, the very existence of these traitors made convenient scapegoats when the Soviets appeared to be developing new weapons & systems to combat ours, whether or not the traitors were actually the cultprits. Look at the complicated web of corporations & LLCs that turn out to be connected to defense today. Imagine finding out that a Chinese company is building a component or part that’s used in a fighter jet or a missile. Some of the scariest transactions of ppl connected in our govt involve foreign companies. Security cameras recording sensitive processes & sending the video to a server in China has happened many, many times.
I feel that anger, too. Walker was responsible for putting accurate sights on brave airmen in Vietnam, and I would have sentenced him to a slow death. But I wouldn't say that he was only able to do it because the top brass didn't care. Bureaucracy is difficult to manage and slow to change, and frankly, we're always learning how to better cover our blind spots. It was unthinkable that someone could be so callous and craven as to betray the brothers he serves alongside of, and I imagine this intelligence failure sparked changes in FBI and naval policy. Just like when we lost warships unnecessarily to fires and we subsequently made damage control everyone's job, I imagine sensitive materials are now stored more carefully. Unless you're a famous politician, and you can get away with that sort of thing.
They knew enough to out class each other's agencies, all the while at any moments chances are the damages have harmed our nation, not to discover now,....But...the fact of future concerns is huge in terms a wider variety of problems. Never good to have weak and Inter agency disfunction and squabbling going on, we'll pay dearly for it, and have in the past......
Who watches the watchers...? "You shall know them by the fruits of their labours." When an espionage department never produces any good results or every project fails....then smell a corrupted system....the corruption point may be one person.... Always remember...a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
Listening to the closing remarks that Russia felt and still feels humiliated by the collapse of the former soviet union played against what is happening now in Ukraine and the Balkans could not be more prophetic and troubling.
Except that is the stupidest and falsest thing ever. Uuuh, they felt "humiliated" by the collapse of their EVIL empire... What do you even mean by this...? That empire had to fall. It was evil. Is this how you make the point that the evil empire shouldn't have been defeated and that they should've been allowed to communize the world...? Because THAT's what they wanted. That's a lame and laughable way of promoting the global communist agenda... LOL. The problem however, the REAL problem was that Russia was pampered and cuddled afterwards instead of being given a lesson in humility. The problem was PRECISELY that Russia and the Russian people weren't totally humiliated. That allowed a radical "mother Russia" lover like this ordinary street thug Putin to take over and instill this fake feeling of "humiliation" by the hands of the West into the Russian people. Based on false pretenses of course. Nobody humiliated Russia after they lost their shitty evil empire, on the contrary, everybody was very careful not to humiliate them... So Putin came along, one of the most radical elements of the KGB and instilled this phony feeling into the Russian people. Very similarly to the way Hitler did it. Except Hitler was justified in a way to feel that way. The treaty of Versailles was far more unfair towards Germany than the collapse of the evil empire was for the Russians. And this is not the only way Putin and his regime are very similar to Hitler and his Nazi regime. Using this lame "pretext" of Russia having been "humiliated" simply because they lost the war (cold war) WHICH THEY STARTED is the most disgusting and pathetic way of defending that evil empire and the communist agenda. The problem was precisely that they weren't taught a proper lesson in humiliation. That's why they behave the way they do now.
On a related note, if I remember correctly, Ukraine is now accusing at least one general and a couple of town mayors of treason. Might explain why some areas fell so quickly.
So far as I'm concerned, traitors are the same as rabid animals and should be dealt with accordingly. Make them not rabid. A dead slimeball is a good slimeball
Hey. Know what? If that shoplifter is spotted for what he is and later-on tries to weasel his way into a situation where he's in the "big times"' as far as profiting from his amoral nature and his record as a low-stakes amoral bad actor washes him out for entry into t he higher-stakes opportunity to "shine" in the only way he is constituted to "shine" I don't see where that's a bad thing. Bust 'em all and nip things "in the bud" as much as possible. I'm sick and tired of reading stories about how someone with a criminal record who shouldn't have been hired in a nursing home is discovered to have been staging MMA matches between the geezers and taking bets on the outcome. If George Floyd had gotten the sort of Texas Treatment for the armed home-invasion robbery in Texas as would have occurred when I was in HS instead of 5yrs he'd stll be wasting oxygen---in a jail cell in Texas. And not as a supposedly-victimless-crime-inmate either. Poking a firearm into the gut of a pregnant homeowner to keep her quiet while a truckload of your "homies" ransack her home is no victimless crime. And a lot of serious violent criminals carry salable amounts of contraband on 'em to make things easy on the cops once the cops decide "enough if enough" knowing nobody in the "community" is going to risk their lives to testify about the violent crimes but a cop testifying about drugs found on the suspect will get them both what they want. The cops get the violent thug off the street for awhile and when the violent thug is seeking employment as part of his "out plan" he gets to whine to the prospective employer---who has quite possibly had a salable quantity of contraband on his/her person at some time in their misbegotten youth phase---that he was brutally over-sentenced for a victimless crime and successfully gets cycled back into the community again---still a violent thug. But Floyd's violent thuggery was without a doubt. He's really lucky, given it was Texas we're talking about, that the pregnant homeowner didn't unload a 410 shotgun slug into his gut from a pocket pistol chambered to fire those when he started pushing his way in the door. He should have counted himself lucky to get arrested and sentenced to a very long term then. How much better-off would we all be now if that lady had been A&D? And Maxine wouldn't have had that golden opportunity to prove the "Bell Curve" once-again. Ever heard the old axiom about how for want of a nail the shoe was lost? Nip those amoral types in the bud at the lowest level of damages-done possible. They are what they are and they're not going to change except with whatever maturity comes to their kind about the time most of us are getting ready to apply for SSI. And I'm "up for" snuffing *all* traitors and would happily be drafted to serve on the firing squad. I would aim for the heart no matter how the traitor ingratiated himself with the guards during his lengthy appeals. Because I wouldn't have *been* one of the guards. I'd rather select being put on that list in lieu of being liable to jury duty. Firing squads in those cases should be presented with known cases of the gorey details of the harm they caused whether it's an accurate reenactment of the torture and execution of some U.S. friendly foreign intel asset or what happened to a downed pilot in Vietnam. In the latter cases perhaps some who were downed and survived the ordeal could come and recount their experience to the citizens called to serve on firing-squad duty. This is a nation of by and for The People and it's not all rights. It also carries responsibilities. Congress is empowered to call forth Militia and one of the causes for mustering militia is law enforcement. Also quelling rebellion/insurrection and protecting the border. *Not foreign martial adventures* so since the National Guard have been mobilized to participate in foreign military adventures they are *not* the Militia, no matter *what* lies you've been told to the contrary. Execute all convicted traitors. It's more like being drafted to go kill enemy soldiers than a criminal execution. If we're to be judged by a jury of our peers it would seem right that citizens-gone-wrong as traitors ought to be *executed* by their citizen peers.
Part off the problem is describing his career as mediocre. He attained the rank of CWO3. Retired 20 years. I’m pretty sure his evals at that time were anything but mediocre. Enlisted personnel are the guts of the military. They are making it sound like these guys were conscripts with crap attitudes. You don’t get to CWO3 being mediocre.
@@toolguyslayer1 not true. A shithead white was still viewed, and treated as a shithead. My point is these guys are traitors. But their description of the careers made it sound if you weren’t an officer you weren’t that important
It is, but they get let out most of the time and people quickly forget about them and their crimes. Execution sends a much more powerful message for their followers. Too, we don't have to pay thousands to house and feed them for hundreds of years...
@@AndrewBlacker-wr2ve What a load of leftist bs. Death penalty "deters" the murder of prison guards, which happens every year. A friend of my family was murdered as a prison guard in California. It also deters the further crimes of escapees, of which there are escapes every year in which the escapees murder and rxxpe innocent civilians on the outside. Regardless, none of these spies fear anything but the death penalty. Look at their grins. The U.S. executed spies for 200 years.
Greed and power, the MO of virtually every US politician, senior military and senior intelligence officers. ..... “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

NOPE he was never pardoned. He was released on parole after serving 30 years. Then he was on some sort of house arrest for several years . Nobody really knows if his actions resulted in deaths. That's to say the Israelis could potentially share sources with other states in return for more valuable information for the state of Isr. Pollard was just after the bucks. He approached a Australian army officer seconded to the US - his bosses thought it was an FBI provocation or similar and did not bother to report it at the time. later they did, feeling rather foolish.
Actually that greedy swine wasn't pardoned. He'd been paroled and some corrupt traitor-led administration allowed the DOJ ( under executive branch dominion ) to declare his parole completed freeing him to be swept-up by Purloined Palestine to be data-mined to see if his photographic memory holds any other currently-relevant items which can be traded to our enemies for items of intel Irgunistan wants---and "screw us". The real treasn-"tell" is the pardoning of Aviem Sella who orchestrated the Pollard treachery. Anyone who would pardon Sella can be nothing but a traitor and though t it was technically legal to do and cannot be prosecuted for what it is, This needs to be shouted from the mountaintops and that yellow-belled draft-dodging prevaricating phypocritical divided-loyalties traitor needs to lose all his support. Unfortunately there are heaps of people who just cannot admit to themselves they were swindled of their faith and credit---and undoubtedly considerable disposable income which would have been better-spent stocking up on Everclear, high quality instant coffee, sucrose, engine lubricants and a host of other things which may become very valuable items of barter B4 what's been done to us is over.

Probably better 4'em anyway... I don't think Everclear ever goes "bad". It's about as high-test as you can get. It can be used for an antiseptic, a crude anesthetic and even fuel. Expensive fuel. I think a good investment would be simple solar panel hooked directly to 12v LEDs for use in indoor water gardening to grow duck-weed. It's supposed to be pretty nutritious and it's more difficult not to grow it than to grow it.

That could be done indoors where it's right there secure and then n you've got what amounts to a cistern full of water too. Sun shines, lights shine, plants grow. No fancy controllers or sure to need replacement batteries involved. We've been royally shafted in case you failed to notice.
We've only had two spies convicted for working for the USSR in Norway since WW2, and they were both caught in the 80ies. It was certainly not just an American problem at the time.

I was in the Navy when John Walker and Son were caught along with his brother and friend. When see this I get enraged by their action. All of them should have faced execution. It should have been done the Old Navy tradition that involved a ships yardarm and a rope. All these spies caused the death of people. John Walker and family and friends the body count is unknown, but it is on the thousands yes thousands. Every move we made was known to the North Vietnam. To honestly look at John Walker was why we got our butt kick over there. If you lost a loved one over in Vietnam it most likely was because of the Walker spy ring. Wives lost their husband and many children never even met their father. So yes enraged is a understatement.
@@shivasirons6159 I have to agree with about the politics, but we lost a lot of lives due to that dirt bag family and friends. I also blame John's wife too. She knew what he was doing for many years yet kept her mouth shut because she liked the money. When John Jr was released he went to live with his mother. I had a friend on board the Nimitz when they MA and NIS now NCIS picked John Jr the crew spit on him and had other plans if they didn't get off the ship.
You should be even more angry at Nixon and his cohorts for committing treason in order to win the presidential election. By promising a better peace deal to the North Vietnamese if they held off ending the war until after the 1968 election, he caused the deaths of 20,000 more Americans and about a million Vietnamese. Of course, he didn't keep his promise about the peace, and the war didn't end until 5 years later.
Vietnam was before my time ( b.1978) but it looks to me like the war was also lost by the legacy media and spoiled brat college students ( or radicals as they called themselves) and I read in “Radical Son” by David Horowitz that they all weren’t against the war they were only against American victory
@@jonramsey6348 We didn't really have a goal. There was no way to have a "victory". We were just causing unnecessary death and destruction. It was worth protesting. That was the last war that had some honest coverage by mainstream media. The government learned from that and embedded and contained the media pretty tightly after that, leading to the veritable defense department stenography we have today.
At last! Potashov speaks, correctly, of repentance instead of the incorrect remorse. Repentance means real sorrow for sin, whereas remorse merely means self-pity at being caught. There is a very great difference between the two.
@@tiajones7036 That is a(n American) misconception. Remorse is self-pity; for example, when you wake up the morning after a drunken binge. It becomes repentance when you really are sorry for whom you have wounded by your actions, and resolve not to do it again. Remorse is often a way of trying to get around your offence by making the wounded party feel guilty.
Yep! Obama was the most loathsome ShitWeasel ever to sit in the Oval Office. And he is not done yet.

I'm a veteran & my blood is already boiling over these first traitors I'm hearing. People died. War would be compromised! VHS on John Walker movie. One of my bosses investigated this.
You never know how one's assumed benign actions can be devastating to others you have never come in contact with. The one that shared secret codes that eventually got in the hands of the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam war is probably responsible for the American deaths that occured as a direct result of that information being compromised.
Sounds like he should be given a medal in this case. When an American soldier was killed in Vietnam, it was one step closer to the end of that criminal invasion.
@@fredrikcarlstedt393 that question should be asked of you, the only reason the murder of innocent Vietnamese people ended was because of American death toll rising so it was a good thing
Bless that ex wife for her courage. Was a bit frustrating to hear at first she wasn't generally believed, also sucks she took so long to get the info out, but one official, with an open mind, and will power to dig into it, starts pulling on some strings and look what was found! This have saved countless lives and stopped something that could gon gone even further off the deep end! That's what these organizations are developed to do!
A nice improvement on that would be if the traitor cost any lives the method-of-demise of the most essential important life lost should be the method-of-execution of he who caused that casualty with his treason. In the case of one particular traitor I can think of who has gone too long unpunished I suppose his method-of-execution would be to be pardoned and counter-constitutionally banned-to-death... Screw "great". That puts me in-mind of when LBJ pushed a program which turned CRT into a lifestyle rather than a theory and called *that* "great". Make America *AmeriCAN* Again!
They were summarily executed on the street. No trip to Lubyanka Prison. No show trial and confession. The commissars are judge, jury, and executioners.
13:00 U.S. Armed Forces have invaded a sovereign country, Vietnam, and are flying in bombing missions on all kinds of targets. The spy gave info just for his own personal greed, but it's hard to be outraged at something that at the end of the day helped the Vietnamese defend their country. US airmen died (and way more Vietnamese) but that was because they were given bad orders: the rot was at the top, they're the ones who should have suffered.
@@chrisanderson5317 ergh no, not just Lenin and Stalin but any reasonable person who believes every country should be able to determine and act on its own future without threat of invasion.
I am not sure but I saw a news story that said the lack of sufficient communication between the CIA and FBI was one reason that the 911 attack was not foreseen.
Sometimes it's the Govt itself that does it; during the Vietnam war certain people would let the North Viets know through the Swiss which target was going to be bombed the next day. They did this to try and save civilian lives BUT the rockets were set to shoot down American pilots. The US Military did not know this. Many Americans became ambushed this way. If I remember correctly; this was under LBJ! So Absurd.
The US hasn't fought a "total" war since WW2. The idea that you can or should safeguard civilians at the expense of your own people is ridiculous. Get in, overwhelm and destroy so you can get out and come home. But if you do that, war profiteers wouldn't get as much money out of the killing that wars produce.
@@gregh7400 Stupid to go to war unless you're there to win. We messed up with the Korean War and now it's a constant sore. I wonder what Biden will stumble into with his foggy mind. I worry every day what might be next. For half the country it's just another Top Gun Movie.
The American Government invented the Gulf of Tonkin fake torpedo attack (admitted by Sec of State McNamara) to start the Vietnam War in order to shift a trillion dollars of American taxpayers money into the private pockets of the Military Equipment Corporations. US soldiers were deceived into believing they were fighting for other people's freedom (later same in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc). Everything returned to peaceful normality in SE Asia after the US Military removed themselves back to America in 1973. The whole Cambodian killing fields happened because Washington dropped of 2.7 million tons of bombs on Cambodia which directly killed 500,000 people, destroying Cambodian government authority and opening the path for the Communist Khmer Rouge (Pol Pot) to seize power and kill 1.7 to 2.5 (one third of the population) by murder, disease and starvation. The murder of Cambodians by Communists only ended in 1979 when the government of unified Vietnam invaded Cambodia and destroyed the Kampuchea Pol Pot Communist regime. Washington would have loved to keep the Vietnam war going for another 10 years and steal another trillion dollars from US taxpayers, but the American Government were FORCED to quit Vietnam because US soldiers murdered 2000 (two thousand) of their own Officers, a practice known as "fragging" (google it). The US military police gives the following estimate of the number of victims: "Between 1969 and 1973, there was an increased incidence of fragging, says the historian Terry Anderson from Texas A&M University. The US Army does not have any exact statistics on how many officers were killed in this manner but they do know of at least 600 cases of confirmed fragging and another 1400 where officers died under suspicious circumstances. As a result of this, the US Army was not at war with the enemy in the beginning of 1970 - they were at war with themselves." This explains why America abandoned Vietnam and this is why the Draft was abolished. The shareholders of the Military Equipment Corporations bribe politicians to start and prolong wars, this is why military strategies are designed to maximize waste (same in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc). The Vietnam War was started and prolonged by Washington politicians so they could shift taxpayers money to the men who bribed the same politicians. The Rules Of Engagement (ROEs) "The No Win Strategy" in Vietnam was designed to support North Vietnam AGAINST Americans in South Vietnam to prolong the war as long as possible to maximize Corporate plundering of American taxpayers. The owners of America regard soldiers as their livestock to be deceived, utilized and discarded, this is why Henry Kissing said, "Military men are dumb stupid animals to be used for foreign policy". US Troops are reluctant to admit that only served Wall Street because then they can never again proudly say "I served" without admitting that they only served the people who tricked them. Since 1945 America has only fought wars which they started themselves and America does not win wars because American wars are designed to never end. The entire American government and corporate structure are the traitors who betray the American people.
Or journalists. Not ones who expose corruption. But the ones that compromise national security for a scoop should end up against a wall with a black bag over their head.
Have you heard of spy swap? We also recruited spies in their country. Spies are frequently monitored and arrested only when politically convenient. When we catch a few of theirs they are able to immediately reply by arresting some of ours they have been monitoring for the exact purpose of a swap. Executing spies would be the default if our countries were at war. However, without a formal declaration of war most countries understand the diplomatic repercussions of executing an agent of a foreign government. As far as our own citizens being the spies for a foreign government you are correct that we have jurisdiction but again it comes down to looking in the mirror: are we also employing their own citizens against them? Are we at war with them? Real diplomacy is dirty and sometimes awful people need to be spared to keep the peace. Before anyone tries to attack my comment, personally I don't condone this. I am just explaining the logic they used through the last century.
This Doc was long before Chelsea Manning or Edward Snowden, so they showed themselves to be still pretty much as stupid later on, as they were then. So I guess that answers your question. Manning was a low level corporal and still had access to secrets, and sent them to Wikileaks. Snowden waltzed out of the door of the NSA, with unbelievable amounts of info on flash drives, and gave it to publications. But to give those 3 letter agencies credit, someone a long time ago (I forget who) gave what is now an old saying..."There is no such thing as a fool proof security system".... And with today's tech that's so far beyond what Ames or Hanson could imagine, that old saying could never be more true.

'If war had broken out, thousands and thousands of American kids would have died as a result of that'. John Lehman, former Secretary of the Navy. How absurd and ungrounded is it possible to be? If war had broken out between the US and Soviet, millions and millions of kids, women, men, people of all ages and their pets, and all kinds of animals would have died as a result.
When are you going to do a series about current traitors? We have more traitors in office right now! Than we ever had in our history!!!!! That's the story most of us want to see...
Spying is endemic in and essential to most countries. This can be a follow up from routine border survalence or going in deep to use or expose the spying activities of another country. Countries, just like most individuals, don't like surprises that could prove harmful to their security. It would be imprudent to not be vigilant and, well, suspicious of unverified people and situations.
In this age after many nations testify to a Christ crucifixion is spying and slaughter and slavery. Tyranny and oppression. Age of the beast with a face and a name.
You said Tucker, Tulsi, and journalist Glenn Greenwald. You know the guy Snowden went to because American journos are all puppets. If uncle Trump were in office none of this shit would have happened. We've sent eight billion dollars there, of our tax payers money.
This program is proof that, long ago, the History Channel was worth watching. I remember those days.
Yes but the History Channel is- "History"
Yes I remember the 90s too
Watch CBS reality. Medical detectives.
I watched it instead of cartoons. It may have hampered my social skills a little, but at least I’m not a moron.
@@charleswest6372 he said it "was", so your comment is moot.
The History Channel used to be great. I think it was the success of Pawn Stars that made them shift entirely to low effort trash.
Even in the late 90s an awesome history teacher of mine referred to History as "The World War II Channel" so while the quality of the documentaries was excellent, it still had a kind of preposterously narrow focus on the current world order.
@@nutsackmania Your teacher may have called it that but I remember watching shows on the History Channel about the old west, the civil war, Vietnam, Cold War espionage (like this one), ancient Rome, archeology, you name it. It wasn't the World War 2 channel.
@GTZ Share There are youtube channels that buy licenses to old shows and post them. The copyright enforcement these days is too good for it to be here otherwise. I used to watch The Real West on youtube but that might have been pirated instead of licensed. I would try looking around.
That’s actually probably very true, someone should / might’ve even made a video on the descent of History channel into a TLC like soulless reality channel. Good analysis
@@nutsackmania Turns out it was actually your charmed 90's teacher with the preposterously narrow focus on the current world order. But, hey, he was popular so what else could matter.
Ahh. From the good ol' days. When the History Channel actually put out great content. This program is proof that, long ago, the History Channel was worth watching. I remember those days.
At 31:00 he writes CIA on a napkin and burns it in an ashtray for no possible sane reason, foreshadowing how bad the History Channel would soon become...
Yup history channel used to be good as did documentaries . Almost all modern documentaries are awful. Terrible bombastic music, terrible narrators and constant repetition of what happened 10 minutes earlier in the documentary because they think the audience is thick. Modern documentaries have been dumbed down to the attention span of younger generations. There I said it lol.
yeah documentaries have always been my thing ever since i was a kid ive always found them more entertaining and engaging than cartoons movies or anything else and yeah back in the day the history channel discovery channel and animal planet used to be where i watched pretty much everything and the sole reason i even bothered with cable now their full of reality crap that their recognizable really sucks but at least there is still youtube and curiosity lol
The same fate took Bravo and TLC, and others I’m not thinking of. Shameful.
Those who live in once communist countries retained a very good trait even today! Highest academic levels for every child from the poorest to the richest, present & past history, geography, communities, nations is still a must! Hence children are well informed, educated even if a street sweeper but smart, hence they have a highest volume of educated, teachers, scientists, doctors etc!
Excellent presentation. I miss the good old days when the THC actually covered, well, history......
And MTV played Music videos.
Oh the good old days, when things were what you thought they were, and the radio played Rock And Roll! God I miss all of that! Especially the Rock And Roll! Rock was the best, and still is!
Now we hear nothing but Pop, which is all garbage. The Rap, Hip Hop, and so called Classic Rock are all just crap. There simply is no good radio at all. The most I can take of any station is half an hour, that's it. I don't want to program my own songs. I want to be surprised! With at least 1 great new song every day. Like it used to be. God I miss it! Let the young people have anything they want, but give us what we want too! When we were young the old people had their radio stations. That's all we want. I don't want Pop, or Country.
I want Rock And Roll! There are SO many types of it, it wouldn't be hard to do. But the young people hate us, and prefer to deprive us as much as they can. They call us Boomers. But I'm not a Boomer, and I don't like them either. There's a huge group between Boomers and Gen X that seems to not count. It has no name. And we are the Hard Rockers from the late 70s and early 80s. We're not the Boomers who were young adults in the early 60s. There's a 20 year difference, or more!
We are not the rich, greedy, self satisified bunch that thinks they saved the world, but wrecked it instead. The bunch that did twice the damage they accuse their own parents of doing, and then sold out big time, for big bucks! Nothing mattered to them then or now, except their stuff and showing it off. Flaunting that stuff to the max. Conspicuous consumption.
It's gross. And we're sandwiched between 2 groups who we don't like, and who don't like us. Without any music to listen to! It's hell! There's an awful lot more stuff to watch, but none of it is any good. Just like before. But back then we refused to watch that crap. Now people don't care if they rot their minds. They'll watch anything! So even when they're not watching, their minds have been turned to mush.
They believe Trump, and people like him. Morons even dumber than themselves. God help us! It's not even worth continuing through all of this! It'll never get better though. Time to give up!
In the good old days THC did not mean history of any description! LOL! The History Channel showed history. But that's a different thing!
And allowing known alcholics to keep their jobs in a highly classified environment...brilliant.
my first day of boot camp I had to change my MOS because I lost my clearance because I HONESTLY told them I had bought a small amount of marijuana when I was 15.
I agree with your premise- but remember the good ole boy network is strong in these agencies- FBI has many Mormons for example. They are a DeFacto cult and will cover.
Another example is many of these guys come from rich sheltered families and simply do not have much STREET KNOWLEDGE- If u start with the premise - earn my trust- because my life is on the line- you follow your gut more. Turf wars are rampant- It hurts and hinders the ability to have any crucial objectivity in the decision-making process,

I miss the old History Channel. When they used to produce content related to History.
Remember, these are merely the ones who got caught.
There’s spies who don’t get caught too!
That's the problem
When I heard the story about 18 year spy Walker, if I said the word “death” once, I said it 1,000 times. There can be no greater betrayal than his to his country, and countrymen. He not only potentially cost American lives, he *actually* did in Vietnam.
I am surprised such a guy was the biggest spy against USA and so easily
I agree. What a low life
If a Russian did the same thing and gave info to USA you would call him a hero. Sometimes a country needs to be betrayed. USA were criminals as far as the Vietnam war went. USA should be prosecuted for war crimes.
Me too! I just went on a whole raging speech to my friend about how he deserved to be sh○t for his crimes!
If he doesn't deserve it, then who!?
How do they expect to deter (serious, consequential) espionage if this guy isn't six feet under?
Your first sentence is incoherent nonsense. Rewrite that.

I'm ashamed what my country have fallen to.
Maybe it was always this way and I was just to young, naive and starry eyed to see it.
The corruption and greed in both politics & business makes me sad.
It really comes to mind when I read or hear the writings of our founding fathers,
'stand for the national anthem or think of the men & women that have fought, died and
became wounded serving our country.
I'm old enough to know we will never achieve what America was founded on.
We had our chance - God forgive us.
Nice to know that the FBI saw fit to appoint someone they regarded as a "loser" to work on counter-intelligence....
Losers have experience from their losing business .
It's no big deal really. In America, we currently have two houses of congress and a Whitehouse with a bumper crop of losers. As you can clearly see, in America, "Loser" has become a primary job qualification.
@@Phuc_Socialist_You_Tube It's the same on this side of the pond. I always thought that anyone who wants to be a politician should automatically be disqualified. Communities should identify trustworthy and honest people from their communities who are then conscripted to serve in congress / parliament, pay them well, prevent them from having any outside business interests, ban lobbying and let them get on with running the country rather than enriching themselves.
the 'feebs' couldnt catch a COLD.
Yeah, I hope they investigated the guy who made THAT happen!
That Title should be the description of the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and president.
These are my favorite documentaries. Remind me of being a kid who would rather watch the History channel then cartoon network.
Agreed! I too despise my ridiculous absurdities presented in animated form.
When the History Channel actually talked about real history, instead of ghosts, aliens, big foot, and pawn shops.
Very good documentary. It's my belief that a credit report and banking records might be a better indicator of an agent's trustworthiness and reliability than a polygraph test.
Good point!!!🙏🤔
Well I have a seriously awful credit report & a pile of debt & top secret clearance. (Not kidding) I would never sell out my country comrades. I was just having some fun there. I absolutely agree with you though. I'm just not that guy. I wouldn't do it.
I please believe me your credit history and all manner of financial activity is looked at as part of gaining Secret/Top Secret Security Clearances with the US Government.
@@christopherengel7436 I'm thinking maybe you acquired your initial security clearance with the government at a point in time when your credit history wasn't totally awful. Once given secret clearance your FICO score can tumble to room temperature levels and you'll likely be okay as OPM typically doesn't perform routine or random credit histories during the period of time your security clearance is active. 😎
Polygraphs are unscientific and unreliable. Psychopaths can pass them easily. Those spying against us should be put up against the wall.
Money and Power drives the traitor, I would submit that the current House of Representatives far surpassed anything in our version of the cold war.
What I found disturbing and enraging it that Walker did this for years and was never detected by our security. (His ex wife had to go to the FBI.) The fact that he was not detected screams loudly that they really didn't care. The intel community spent hundred of billions of dollars and yet did not know this guy was spying. It makes me so mad.
A skeptical way to look at it is that many corporations reaped the true benefits of the Cold War as the race to build expensive weapons & devise defense systems escalated. But there was no need for the “next” weapon nor system if the Soviets didn’t know we had them. Think about all the ppl employed by corporations rather than govt agencies. It’s like the govt Intel jobs existed to find reasons to continue escalating with a wink & a nod that they hoped didn’t set off a global nuclear war. So there was no lobbying to makie sure that no one was giving secrets to the enemy. Also, the very existence of these traitors made convenient scapegoats when the Soviets appeared to be developing new weapons & systems to combat ours, whether or not the traitors were actually the cultprits. Look at the complicated web of corporations & LLCs that turn out to be connected to defense today. Imagine finding out that a Chinese company is building a component or part that’s used in a fighter jet or a missile. Some of the scariest transactions of ppl connected in our govt involve foreign companies. Security cameras recording sensitive processes & sending the video to a server in China has happened many, many times.
@@r.williamcomm7693 the air would be so much cleaner without Big Business that many would undoubtedly suffocate from too much oxygen.
You are very right. A woman scorned could be very dangerous. Screw FBI and cia who think they know all.
I feel that anger, too. Walker was responsible for putting accurate sights on brave airmen in Vietnam, and I would have sentenced him to a slow death. But I wouldn't say that he was only able to do it because the top brass didn't care. Bureaucracy is difficult to manage and slow to change, and frankly, we're always learning how to better cover our blind spots. It was unthinkable that someone could be so callous and craven as to betray the brothers he serves alongside of, and I imagine this intelligence failure sparked changes in FBI and naval policy. Just like when we lost warships unnecessarily to fires and we subsequently made damage control everyone's job, I imagine sensitive materials are now stored more carefully. Unless you're a famous politician, and you can get away with that sort of thing.
They knew enough to out class each other's agencies, all the while at any moments chances are the damages have harmed our nation, not to discover now,....But...the fact of future concerns is huge in terms a wider variety of problems. Never good to have weak and Inter agency disfunction and squabbling going on, we'll pay dearly for it, and have in the past......
Richard Miller led a charmed life. He spent 3 years in prison, remarried in ‘95, and lived to the ripe age of 76…not too bad for a traitor.

Listening to the closing remarks that Russia felt and still feels humiliated by the collapse of the former soviet union played against what is happening now in Ukraine and the Balkans could not be more prophetic and troubling.
In the Balkans?! WTf's happening in the Balkans?!
Yuri Bemenov 101, don`t believe anything is happening, think about it twice.
Speaking on prophetic and troubling. America fits this description perfectly. America is collapsing daily.
Except that is the stupidest and falsest thing ever. Uuuh, they felt "humiliated" by the collapse of their EVIL empire... What do you even mean by this...? That empire had to fall. It was evil. Is this how you make the point that the evil empire shouldn't have been defeated and that they should've been allowed to communize the world...? Because THAT's what they wanted. That's a lame and laughable way of promoting the global communist agenda... LOL. The problem however, the REAL problem was that Russia was pampered and cuddled afterwards instead of being given a lesson in humility. The problem was PRECISELY that Russia and the Russian people weren't totally humiliated. That allowed a radical "mother Russia" lover like this ordinary street thug Putin to take over and instill this fake feeling of "humiliation" by the hands of the West into the Russian people. Based on false pretenses of course. Nobody humiliated Russia after they lost their shitty evil empire, on the contrary, everybody was very careful not to humiliate them... So Putin came along, one of the most radical elements of the KGB and instilled this phony feeling into the Russian people. Very similarly to the way Hitler did it. Except Hitler was justified in a way to feel that way. The treaty of Versailles was far more unfair towards Germany than the collapse of the evil empire was for the Russians. And this is not the only way Putin and his regime are very similar to Hitler and his Nazi regime. Using this lame "pretext" of Russia having been "humiliated" simply because they lost the war (cold war) WHICH THEY STARTED is the most disgusting and pathetic way of defending that evil empire and the communist agenda. The problem was precisely that they weren't taught a proper lesson in humiliation. That's why they behave the way they do now.
On a related note, if I remember correctly, Ukraine is now accusing at least one general and a couple of town mayors of treason. Might explain why some areas fell so quickly.
"pride cometh before destruction"
So far as I'm concerned, traitors are the same as rabid animals and should be dealt with accordingly. Make them not rabid. A dead slimeball is a good slimeball

Bust 'em all and nip things "in the bud" as much as possible.

If George Floyd had gotten the sort of Texas Treatment for the armed home-invasion robbery in Texas as would have occurred when I was in HS instead of 5yrs he'd stll be wasting oxygen---in a jail cell in Texas. And not as a supposedly-victimless-crime-inmate either. Poking a firearm into the gut of a pregnant homeowner to keep her quiet while a truckload of your "homies" ransack her home is no victimless crime. And a lot of serious violent criminals carry salable amounts of contraband on 'em to make things easy on the cops once the cops decide "enough if enough" knowing nobody in the "community" is going to risk their lives to testify about the violent crimes but a cop testifying about drugs found on the suspect will get them both what they want. The cops get the violent thug off the street for awhile and when the violent thug is seeking employment as part of his "out plan" he gets to whine to the prospective employer---who has quite possibly had a salable quantity of contraband on his/her person at some time in their misbegotten youth phase---that he was brutally over-sentenced for a victimless crime and successfully gets cycled back into the community again---still a violent thug. But Floyd's violent thuggery was without a doubt.
He's really lucky, given it was Texas we're talking about, that the pregnant homeowner didn't unload a 410 shotgun slug into his gut from a pocket pistol chambered to fire those when he started pushing his way in the door. He should have counted himself lucky to get arrested and sentenced to a very long term then. How much better-off would we all be now if that lady had been A&D? And Maxine wouldn't have had that golden opportunity to prove the "Bell Curve" once-again.
Ever heard the old axiom about how for want of a nail the shoe was lost? Nip those amoral types in the bud at the lowest level of damages-done possible. They are what they are and they're not going to change except with whatever maturity comes to their kind about the time most of us are getting ready to apply for SSI.
And I'm "up for" snuffing *all* traitors and would happily be drafted to serve on the firing squad. I would aim for the heart no matter how the traitor ingratiated himself with the guards during his lengthy appeals. Because I wouldn't have *been* one of the guards. I'd rather select being put on that list in lieu of being liable to jury duty. Firing squads in those cases should be presented with known cases of the gorey details of the harm they caused whether it's an accurate reenactment of the torture and execution of some U.S. friendly foreign intel asset or what happened to a downed pilot in Vietnam. In the latter cases perhaps some who were downed and survived the ordeal could come and recount their experience to the citizens called to serve on firing-squad duty. This is a nation of by and for The People and it's not all rights. It also carries responsibilities. Congress is empowered to call forth Militia and one of the causes for mustering militia is law enforcement. Also quelling rebellion/insurrection and protecting the border. *Not foreign martial adventures* so since the National Guard have been mobilized to participate in foreign military adventures they are *not* the Militia, no matter *what* lies you've been told to the contrary.
Execute all convicted traitors. It's more like being drafted to go kill enemy soldiers than a criminal execution. If we're to be judged by a jury of our peers it would seem right that citizens-gone-wrong as traitors ought to be *executed* by their citizen peers.
😂 if they really commit the crime they'll simply kill them... plain and simple.
This is entertaining though... 😂

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

I Noted that Jonhathan Pollard was omitted. I guess he was working for the correct country. He was pardoned though.
NOPE he was never pardoned. He was released on parole after serving 30 years. Then he was on some sort of house arrest for several years . Nobody really knows if his actions resulted in deaths. That's to say the Israelis could potentially share sources with other states in return for more valuable information for the state of Isr. Pollard was just after the bucks. He approached a Australian army officer seconded to the US - his bosses thought it was an FBI provocation or similar and did not bother to report it at the time. later they did, feeling rather foolish.
Actually that greedy swine wasn't pardoned.

The good days of the History Channel are now.....history itself.
I was in the Navy when John Walker and Son were caught along with his brother and friend. When see this I get enraged by their action. All of them should have faced execution. It should have been done the Old Navy tradition that involved a ships yardarm and a rope. All these spies caused the death of people. John Walker and family and friends the body count is unknown, but it is on the thousands yes thousands. Every move we made was known to the North Vietnam. To honestly look at John Walker was why we got our butt kick over there. If you lost a loved one over in Vietnam it most likely was because of the Walker spy ring. Wives lost their husband and many children never even met their father. So yes enraged is a understatement.
Carl, im an ex squid too, i feel ya passion but we lost nam to politics, as far as battles we did the asskicking!
@@shivasirons6159 I have to agree with about the politics, but we lost a lot of lives due to that dirt bag family and friends. I also blame John's wife too. She knew what he was doing for many years yet kept her mouth shut because she liked the money. When John Jr was released he went to live with his mother. I had a friend on board the Nimitz when they MA and NIS now NCIS picked John Jr the crew spit on him and had other plans if they didn't get off the ship.
You should be even more angry at Nixon and his cohorts for committing treason in order to win the presidential election. By promising a better peace deal to the North Vietnamese if they held off ending the war until after the 1968 election, he caused the deaths of 20,000 more Americans and about a million Vietnamese. Of course, he didn't keep his promise about the peace, and the war didn't end until 5 years later.
Vietnam was before my time ( b.1978) but it looks to me like the war was also lost by the legacy media and spoiled brat college students ( or radicals as they called themselves) and I read in “Radical Son” by David Horowitz that they all weren’t against the war they were only against American victory
@@jonramsey6348 We didn't really have a goal. There was no way to have a "victory". We were just causing unnecessary death and destruction. It was worth protesting. That was the last war that had some honest coverage by mainstream media.
The government learned from that and embedded and contained the media pretty tightly after that, leading to the veritable defense department stenography we have today.
I thought the penalty for treason was death. How are these people walking around alive?

At last! Potashov speaks, correctly, of repentance instead of the incorrect remorse. Repentance means real sorrow for sin, whereas remorse merely means self-pity at being caught. There is a very great difference between the two.
@Phillip Vietri ••• REMORSE IS WHEN YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
@@tiajones7036 That is a(n American) misconception. Remorse is self-pity; for example, when you wake up the morning after a drunken binge. It becomes repentance when you really are sorry for whom you have wounded by your actions, and resolve not to do it again. Remorse is often a way of trying to get around your offence by making the wounded party feel guilty.

I'm a veteran & my blood is already boiling over these first traitors I'm hearing. People died. War would be compromised! VHS on John Walker movie. One of my bosses investigated this.
and you think your own country did not do the same in other countries? surely there people died as well, because the US paid people for their secrets.
You never know how one's assumed benign actions can be devastating to others you have never come in contact with. The one that shared secret codes that eventually got in the hands of the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam war is probably responsible for the American deaths that occured as a direct result of that information being compromised.
Sounds like he should be given a medal in this case. When an American soldier was killed in Vietnam, it was one step closer to the end of that criminal invasion.

A nice improvement on that would be if the traitor cost any lives the method-of-demise of the most essential important life lost should be the method-of-execution of he who caused that casualty with his treason.
In the case of one particular traitor I can think of who has gone too long unpunished I suppose his method-of-execution would be to be pardoned and counter-constitutionally banned-to-death...

13:00 U.S. Armed Forces have invaded a sovereign country, Vietnam, and are flying in bombing missions on all kinds of targets. The spy gave info just for his own personal greed, but it's hard to be outraged at something that at the end of the day helped the Vietnamese defend their country. US airmen died (and way more Vietnamese) but that was because they were given bad orders: the rot was at the top, they're the ones who should have suffered.
Well spoken comrade. Vladimir Lenin and Comrade Stalin concur with your sentiments.
@@chrisanderson5317 ergh no, not just Lenin and Stalin but any reasonable person who believes every country should be able to determine and act on its own future without threat of invasion.
I am not sure but I saw a news story that said the lack of sufficient communication between the CIA and FBI was one reason that the 911 attack was not foreseen.
That's right. Frontline PBS has a great episode called "The Man Who Knew" about just that. It's here on youtube.
@@MakerInMotion Thanks......It did a good deed here with your post.
It is truly horrifying how often the CIA has screwed up, making stupid mistakes like the one you described.
They communicated well enough. The job would go through regardless because it was an inside job.
Of course they foresaw 9/11 , they orchestrated it. !
Sometimes it's the Govt itself that does it; during the Vietnam war certain people would let the North Viets know through the Swiss which target was going to be bombed the next day. They did this to try and save civilian lives BUT the rockets were set to shoot down American pilots. The US Military did not know this. Many Americans became ambushed this way. If I remember correctly; this was under LBJ! So Absurd.
The US hasn't fought a "total" war since WW2. The idea that you can or should safeguard civilians at the expense of your own people is ridiculous. Get in, overwhelm and destroy so you can get out and come home. But if you do that, war profiteers wouldn't get as much money out of the killing that wars produce.
@@gregh7400 Stupid to go to war unless you're there to win. We messed up with the Korean War and now it's a constant sore. I wonder what Biden will stumble into with his foggy mind. I worry every day what might be next. For half the country it's just another Top Gun Movie.
The American Government invented the Gulf of Tonkin fake torpedo attack (admitted by Sec of State McNamara) to start the Vietnam War in order to shift a trillion dollars of American taxpayers money into the private pockets of the Military Equipment Corporations. US soldiers were deceived into believing they were fighting for other people's freedom (later same in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc). Everything returned to peaceful normality in SE Asia after the US Military removed themselves back to America in 1973. The whole Cambodian killing fields happened because Washington dropped of 2.7 million tons of bombs on Cambodia which directly killed 500,000 people, destroying Cambodian government authority and opening the path for the Communist Khmer Rouge (Pol Pot) to seize power and kill 1.7 to 2.5 (one third of the population) by murder, disease and starvation. The murder of Cambodians by Communists only ended in 1979 when the government of unified Vietnam invaded Cambodia and destroyed the Kampuchea Pol Pot Communist regime.
Washington would have loved to keep the Vietnam war going for another 10 years and steal another trillion dollars from US taxpayers, but the American Government were FORCED to quit Vietnam because US soldiers murdered 2000 (two thousand) of their own Officers, a practice known as "fragging" (google it). The US military police gives the following estimate of the number of victims: "Between 1969 and 1973, there was an increased incidence of fragging, says the historian Terry Anderson from Texas A&M University. The US Army does not have any exact statistics on how many officers were killed in this manner but they do know of at least 600 cases of confirmed fragging and another 1400 where officers died under suspicious circumstances. As a result of this, the US Army was not at war with the enemy in the beginning of 1970 - they were at war with themselves."
This explains why America abandoned Vietnam and this is why the Draft was abolished. The shareholders of the Military Equipment Corporations bribe politicians to start and prolong wars, this is why military strategies are designed to maximize waste (same in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc). The Vietnam War was started and prolonged by Washington politicians so they could shift taxpayers money to the men who bribed the same politicians. The Rules Of Engagement (ROEs) "The No Win Strategy" in Vietnam was designed to support North Vietnam AGAINST Americans in South Vietnam to prolong the war as long as possible to maximize Corporate plundering of American taxpayers.
The owners of America regard soldiers as their livestock to be deceived, utilized and discarded, this is why Henry Kissing said, "Military men are dumb stupid animals to be used for foreign policy". US Troops are reluctant to admit that only served Wall Street because then they can never again proudly say "I served" without admitting that they only served the people who tricked them. Since 1945 America has only fought wars which they started themselves and America does not win wars because American wars are designed to never end.
The entire American government and corporate structure are the traitors who betray the American people.

@Richard SPARKS the Rosenbergs were electrocuted in 1953 at Sing Sing prison in NY
Have you heard of spy swap? We also recruited spies in their country. Spies are frequently monitored and arrested only when politically convenient.
When we catch a few of theirs they are able to immediately reply by arresting some of ours they have been monitoring for the exact purpose of a swap.
Executing spies would be the default if our countries were at war. However, without a formal declaration of war most countries understand the diplomatic repercussions of executing an agent of a foreign government.
As far as our own citizens being the spies for a foreign government you are correct that we have jurisdiction but again it comes down to looking in the mirror: are we also employing their own citizens against them? Are we at war with them?
Real diplomacy is dirty and sometimes awful people need to be spared to keep the peace.
Before anyone tries to attack my comment, personally I don't condone this. I am just explaining the logic they used through the last century.
This is an enjoyable documentary. It also showed the ineptitude of the 3 letter agencies. I wonder what the 3 letter agencies are like now.
More treasonous than ever.
Sadly, chalk full of the socialists & communists those agencies were tasked to defeat.
This Doc was long before Chelsea Manning or Edward Snowden, so they showed themselves to be still pretty much as stupid later on, as they were then. So I guess that answers your question. Manning was a low level corporal and still had access to secrets, and sent them to Wikileaks. Snowden waltzed out of the door of the NSA, with unbelievable amounts of info on flash drives, and gave it to publications. But to give those 3 letter agencies credit, someone a long time ago (I forget who) gave what is now an old saying..."There is no such thing as a fool proof security system".... And with today's tech that's so far beyond what Ames or Hanson could imagine, that old saying could never be more true.

Spying is endemic in and essential to most countries. This can be a follow up from routine border survalence or going in deep to use or expose the spying activities of another country.
