Will he recognize and support the war on our southern border or repeat the idiocy of a Marine general a week or so ago denying the emergency on the border and saying that Marines were not prepared to defend our border?

Exactly. I want him protecting our POTUS and our border.

Nothing else is really a great priority out there for the military right now.

That Marine General you refer to is the man who LtGen Berger will replace.

The marines are a small, self sustaining, rapid deployment force.

If you took every Marine from every base including supply and maintenance depots, boot camps, and troops on ship you could only muster 220,000 troops. That's all there are and you have just stripped America of most of her ready deployment capability.

It's not that there aren't idiot or treasonous Generals. There are. But the story you refer to is another case of globalist media manufacturing a slur after being lectured accurately on the functions of different sectors of the military.

The general in question had an incomplete quote taken out of context.

Semper Fidelis.

The Marine General who said that needs to be retired.

Maybe he will give that general his retirement. It would be a good opening statement.
