Politics aside, I never thought much of this guy. Yes he served, but he also has been a consistent self-promoter above anything else. Loves to be on TV and the sound of his own voice. I guess he would have been a better democratic president than Obama, but that’s about all I can say for him.
Saw a show where they did a rolling on the floor funny parody of Russel Crow in Gladiator.
Oh look. It’s General James Mattoon Scott.
Nor is the ideology of progressives, for that matter. Where can we ship THEM?
And there is authorization to do just that: the National Defense Authorization Act of 2011, which allows(among other things) the indefinite detetntion without trial of US citizens deemed "threats to national interest"...
There was a valid case for internment of the Japanese based on military necessity. With good reason, the Roosevelt administration feared espionage and sabotage from the numerous Japanese spy rings that, based on radio intercepts, were known to be operating on the US west coast. The FBI and other security agencies though were unable to locate and shut down the Japanese spy rings, so the US interned the Japanese — and the illicit spy radios all went silent.
Small point - odds are it wasn’t “Janet Reno’s Boys” in those vehicles. While its not rocket science to operate those vehicles, it does require some training. In particular, it takes a while for a crew (even if each member is well trained) to become effective. I’ve always believed either active duty or NG soldiers manned those vehicles.
The really sad part - it would be totally different today. Every agency involved, from the Sheriff to the FBI would already have their own MRAPS and PCs on site, with their own well trained crews.
Why does somebody keep flogging this story? They are coming across as cheerleaders for it.
President Trump will put Clarke in his place; and such ideas as he’s flacking, into the round file, where they belong.
He’ll also put REAL Generals and Admirals back in charge of our Military, I might add.
The guy who almost started WW-III?
Only took seven posts, not bad.
Thank the Lord that British general relieved him.

They want them for Christians, conservatives, returning soldiers and prolife demonstrators. The democrat party leaders know the only way to win, however they see that, is to destroy the opposition. What a fantastic way to do that, put the opposition in camps, so they cannot vote. Is that much different than what the POTUS and at least 10 senators did to the teaparty, sicked the IRS on them so they could not participate in elections?
To an active volcano...:^)
“I’ve always believed either active duty or NG soldiers manned those vehicles.”
They were JTF-6 assets so you are correct.
How about, if you're thinking of internment camps, we all get organized, get ahead of the curve in that road that leads to 'camps', and STOP LETTING PEOPLE INTO THIS COUNTY WHO MOST LIKELY HATE THE USA?
How about let's start right there, hmmm?
And then, instead of setting up camps, and figuring out how to feed all those people (whoever it is that would be sent to 'camps') if they are foreigners, let's spend the time and money which would need be spent on pre-planning and logistics analysis in figuring out who would be sent to those camps -- AND DEPORT THEM!
How's that? Just kick 'em out. Wouldn't that be wa-aay cheaper, in the long run?
Way more effective too, other than perhaps for consideration those same persons may join or be enlisted in an army somewhere, at some time on the future, we (the USA) may have to fight.
If any were to be deported --- make good records on these people, like fingerprints, DNA tests, biometric iris recognition, etc.
Any who come back to this nation, as part of any army,or any force at all (including criminal gangs) fighting against this nation, or subverting this nation's laws --- in any way--- if those individuals found inside the borders of the USA --- those individuals be subjected to summary execution. No appeals allowed other than identification confirmation.
