Should be NoCom, as in no command. I'd more readily listen to an Army or Marine general.
It’s is absolutely a paramilitary threat. There is no dispute the drug cartels are heavily armed and are infiltrating into the US through the unguarded border areas.
He’s one of those perfumed prince politically-correct generals in lockstep with the Demonrat party.
He won’t see the MS13 threat either - until one of their machine guns opens him up like a can of sardines.
Like I said on a different thread ... This fight is going to either come down to regular American citizens taking armed intervention on the border, or a civil war - starting with an armed insurrection against Washington D.C.
Yep.
Bye bye general.
Happy retirement!!!!
You stand relieved.
“O’Shaughnessy, who visited the southern border on Saturday with Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan, was careful to defer any assessment of the southern threat to the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection. He said that those agencies believe that more fencing can impact the movement of drugs across the border.
O’Shaughnessy said he would defer to DHS “on the character of the threat,” adding that Northern Command is trying to “be a good partner” as the other agencies take on the drug trafficking challenge. Asked if it is a national emergency, he said, it is a “national issue” that requires a “whole-of-government approach.“
Ummmm - it’s not a military threat...he’s concentrating on his job and won’t make up stories that the Dems can leap on to try to debunk....
“...that proposed barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border could increase security against any potential military threats coming from the south.”
Nobody, no one, has even broached the notion that there is a military threat, in classical terms, coming from the southern border.
However, the RESULTS of having an unguarded border is the same.
This general is stupid to allow his words to be so directed as they were.
There’s over 800 generals in the military...
Why is this one’s opinion so important?
