Should be NoCom, as in no command. I'd more readily listen to an Army or Marine general.
It’s not a military threat, it’s a criminal invasion, the magnitude of which requires a military response.
And neither does PT see a “military” threat from the south. But It does represent a very real threat to America all the same.
If I were Trump, I would be so discouraged. So much betrayal from supposed patriots at every turn. Mitch, all the RINO Senators, Paul Ryan, Michael Cohen. On and on forever.
Our President is remarkably resilient. Amazing to see.
Is a “military threat” the only threat to a nation’s border?
Wonder if he'd say that if he just learned his mother and father were murdered in their retirement home by an illegal, on their knees, begging for their lives?
Millions, MILLIONS of Americans have similar stories to tell.
Completely misleading headline.
This guy works quite literally under a rock called Cheyenne Mountain and takes a trip to the border with the SECDEF. Hardly a subject matter expert on the border threat.
Time to retire.
At what point do masses charging our border NOT become a military threat?
Does this General have any familiarity with the term, ‘asymmetric warfare’?
Hey O’Shaughnessy, your country is being invaded by a colonizing force, you dunce.
technically true. The mexican Military is not defecting or attacking.
The drug cartels and coyotes (basically Mexico’s Militia) however....
Why the hell is an “Air Force” General wading in on “combat readiness”? Did the run out of ice at the Officers’ Club, or something?
Hey, Gen-Gen...ever hear of “guerrilla warfare”, Al Quida, ISIS, the Sandinista, etc? You don’t need a snappy uniform, or shiny boots to be a threat to the sanctity and security of another country, just a desire to take over and grab the spoils of invasion.
General, have you noticed the caravans from central America headed our way, and their determination to come into our country, welcomed or not? Have you seen the tunneling, the climbing, the smuggling, the drugs, the illegal alien crime problem...or any of those things.
At least the military is somewhat controlled, and organized...take them away and the invaders come in willy-nilly and militias - manned by armed civilians - break out everywhere. Is that what you want General.
Or, are you just hoping this will land you a gig on a news channel panel as a “military expert”?
Guys an idiot. If China and Russia and the communist world were to invade they would assault our borders eventually which includes the freakin’ southern border.

This general needs to lose his stripes. . .there is a war going on without a military presence. . .it is called disease, sex trafficking, murder, kidnapping, crimes against US citizens, drain on our economy, schools, etc. Such comments from him in my opinion are traitorous.
And did it while Trump is out of the country. The low life SOB.

Another stellar appointment by President Trump.
Does everyone he hired to work in the “The Trump Organization” disagree with his business philosophy, too?
