Scott Taylor has been the owner and publisher of Esprit De Corps magazine since 1988. A former infantryman and award winning author, documentary filmmaker and war correspondent. How can anyone argue with what he is saying? Thank you for taking the time to do this Scott, its people like you who tell the truth in the world who make it a better place.
This man had me hanging on his every word. Along with his intelligence, knowledge and objective stance, he maintained a monotoned, yet very balanced and poised speech. What i like about that is, that he didn't get all preachy or use dramatic posturing or tonality like a preacher would or an actor. He just delivered the truth and didn't need to resort to narcistic theatrics to deliver an excellent presentation. Well done.
Thanks, Scott, for a well-thought and deep talk. People like, you who explain the truth to the world, make it much better.
One of the best TedX talks online.
He really gets you mesmerised as speaks & thinking about compassion, humanity from different lives from our own. Seems top bloke 👍

This talk brought hope to my heart. I hope one day we can supersede war.
If he runs for Prime Minister, I'll vote for him. An honest man at the helms would be a nice change.

If you want to see what "dumb ass" looks like, you need look no further than your own backyard. US politics are a gong show at the moment.

What I do or need is none of your business. My country is none of your business. YOUR country is your business - look up American debt clock and try to pay that off. You couldn't if you tried.

+Mar d Obama has run it up more than any of our presidents before him. You are correct about that. It is hard to pay for Canada's defense. Must be nice to know you do not have to spend that much on your defense budget knowing that America will always have your back!!
Need men like this in high office

I don't understand this Scott, nothing u are sayings processing in my brain.
I know this is 5 years old, but Hussein *did* kill thousands of Kurdish people with gas weapons. Well, at least that was what was in the news back in the late 80's. Unless mustard gas doesn't count as a WMD.

+Maskimuna Murpert No, I am sorry ....this piece of shit should do a documentary on the hundreds of thousands that Sadam Husein did kill with weapons of mass distraction. Talk about the chemical weapons Sadamm used to kill thousands of innocent women and children. He gets in a car with men that have hoods on........he is an idiot......not brave....there is a difference!
