The military is a bureaucracy. He is advocating for more budget.
There is absolutely nothing we can do to prevent an Islamic attack on the US today - Islamic terrorists are already here. We let them in, and we let them be radicalized right here.
The good general is just using this inevitable series of events (part of which he influenced - by not speaking out sooner) to advocate for more defense budget.
The next islamic attack on the US will be distributed, it will be focused on critical infrastructure and killing people where Americans congregate - including our children at their schools.
Our own government prevents us from taking effective steps to prevent such an event.
The response to a distributed threat must be equally distributed. The military will only waste the money.

I’ve always wondered why terrorists are so emo, always going for a high body count. If they simultaneously took out the key bridges on our interstate highways and cyber-sabatoged our electric grid, think what a long-term crippling effect it would have on the economy and our ability to respond. (transporting of food, military equipment & supplies, workers who keep the economy going, etc.). Even if the electric grid was repaired rather quickly, bridge repairs would take years.
