There’s over 800 generals in the military...

Why is this one’s opinion so important?

Listen you buffoon I was Naval Officer and I participated in LAW enforcement(drug) on the high seas. The military can and does do law enforcement EVERY DAY and all that brass ass hat had to say was there is an ongoing SECURITY throat on the border and the military has a huge role in securing the border.

Who promoted this turkey in the first place? What? Invaders have to cross our southern border in Russian tanks before it's a military threat?

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.

The AP is just using words with deception...
There are no uniformed troops invading. There are tanks to be dealt with and there are no bombers and fighter jets to be brought down.. Therefor, he sees no military threat.. Nobody to stomp..!
But that sure as hell doesn't mean there's NO threat to our country and way of life..

A real “US General” should see democrat voters as a military threat.

Basically, he is an Air Force General. The forces threatening our southern border (and he does acknowledge that there is a threat to our southern border) do not have an air force, so they are not a threat to our Air Force, militarily.

Now if the coyotes and the drug dealers start flying in their narcotics and human cargoes, and protecting their operations with armed aircraft, he might see the problem differently.

Trump never said there was a MILITARY threat at the southern border.

Does the AP think we are so stupid as to fall for their crap?

I guess we’ll find out in 2020.

The media will try to misinform the electorate and voter fraud is a real threat.

I don’t see a military threat from south of the border either. Trump has done a good job of working with Mexico, and the Mexican military looks like it is helping, and has no inclination to invade our country.

Caravans of people are a threat to our country, they are an invasion, but they are not a “military threat” unless they steal weapons and tanks.
