| 0:37.1 | I welcome my good colleague, Colonel Jeff McCausen, United States Army retired, artillerymen, CBS News, Dickinson College |
| 0:39.9 | visiting professor and Diamond Sixth Leadership and Strategy CEO. |
| 0:43.9 | We march to the marching these last hours in Beijing before the forbidden city, a reviewing stand |
| 0:51.6 | containing Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, and Vladimir Putin, among others. |
| 0:58.2 | The parade was endless weapon system, some of which are threatening to the fleet, some of which |

| 2:16.9 | intimidate us as the 88 was, and the 88 was a |
| 2:21.7 | very good weapon. It did very well, not only against anti-air, but also against anti-tank. |
| 2:27.8 | What did you think of when you saw that row after row of marching men and those weapon systems? |
