had to do with his experience. it had to do with what he has seen. we also shouldn't forget that mccraven was a journalism major when he was an undergrad ate at the university of texas so he knew not only what he did but he also understands what journalism is all about and that's a very unique per specive. >> admiral, we also heard president trump express that he should have gone it to arlington national cemetery to mark veterans day this past monday. this is a president who really doesn't apologize, who rarely admits that he was wrong now expressing regret. were you surprised to hear him be reflective there? >> i was actually heartened by it. i was glad to see that he recognized that it was a mistake and i don't suspect it's a mistake he'll make again. veterans day, memorial day, honoring of the troops in that way is one. hardest things for a president to screw up because it's -- i men, it's just a expression of thanks and gratitude so i'm glad to see he's taken mind of his mistake and he'll rectify it
