I’m sure he’ll put his money where his mouth is and head to the border to prove it...right?
Oh yeah, he’s a remf.
Ok, I take back the mean stuff I said about him, I just listened to about 30 minutes of his testimony. He pretty much backed up Trump and did not throw him under any buses. He merely said there was no traditional military threat at the moment from the south. But he did say securing the border was a big and wide reaching element of national security.
Then he went into a discussion about needing south facing radars that were scrapped after the cold war as Chinese threats from South America could materialize.
It pains me to defend a USAF general, but he was on board for troops to the border, and did not mite on several attempts to get him to dispute the National Emergency declared on the border.
But in my defense, I didn’t know that until I broke a FR rule and went to the source and listened to the whole testimony...or at least 30 min of it.
Now he just said he supported SecDef in shifting DOD dollars to the wall.
And he refused to take the bait that using those funds would hurt morale and readiness.
Listen to him and he is doing pretty good if you ask me.
It’s pretty clear he isn’t a sycophant of the Dems on the committee.
OK.... It’s not a MILITARY threat. It is dire a threat to the nation however. That by definition makes it a threat that the military can and should be used to eradicate.
Stupid Air Force PC general.
So Mexico doesn’t have tanks on the border. Who knew !!!
BULL$HIT Sir!
I beg to differ: gang members, human trafficking, drugs, felons with weapons.
so this clown says he sees no military threat on southern border but does see Russia as a threat. Why is it I have seen in recent articles how it seems Russia is influencing assisting in some of the problem at US southern border but this guy doesn’t put two and two together?
This quote seems like a programmed response by a deep state plant.
Was this man put into place by the Obama regime? Obama purged our military.
Why did he have to use the word "military" to describe the threat?
Are disease, sex trafficking, murder, kidnapping, crimes against US citizens, drug trafficing threats? Take a time out general, to think about what you are saying and implying. You sound phony and whiney, playing games with words. Who are your "handlers?"
ISIS is not the military.
Drug cartels are not the military.
I recall the National Guard used against rioters who where not the military.
Godzilla is not the military.
Well yeah, but they're trying to get him to say something they want to hear, not what is true or false.
It is a national security threat, not a military threat. We all know there is no military force poised on the border. Misleading question leads to misleading answer. That’s what the Communist Dems specialize in. They are vile.
There is also a threat to the public order and to society with criminals involved in illegal drugs and human trafficking and a threat to the public health with an onslaught of diseases.
The metrosexuals that run NORTHCOM are SPACECOM rejects.
Our military “leadership” is balless.
“...no military threat on southern border...”
What a numbskull thing to say. Do these creeps think everyone on earth is just as stupid as THEY are?
Why would ANY enemy of the US need to outfit an ‘army’ to invade this country?
They only have to send ‘out-of-uniform’, crowds of America-hating terrorists to do the work for them.
Of course, it would be (has been) cheaper, more successful and drawing much less attention than a trained, equipped, armed and uniformed force would be.
This clown need to STFU! PRONTO
That sewer messyco has been invading us for over 30 years. Every president since Reagan has chuckled and winked at the invasion.
That warrants a military response on our part. IMO.
Another one of Bonzo’s butt boys.
