General McCaffrey is speaking out

[Mysterian]

Retired four-star U.S. Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey slammed President Donald Trump on Wednesday for suggesting the use of what he called “dangerous” American cities as “training grounds” for the military.

McCaffrey — in an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” — stressed that the hundreds of thousands of troops with the National Guard are a “national treasure,” describing them as “our friends and neighbors” who are well-equipped to respond to disasters.

It's time for a lot more retired generals to be speaking out about the attempted coup happening in real time. Where is Wesley Clark?

two Silver Stars, three Purple Hearts, and four Bronze Stars with V for valor device.

2. I fully agree. Generals Milley, Franks, Sanchez, and Petraeus and a host of other retired star officers

need to speak out now. This is not about politics. This is about adherence to the Constitution.

3. Dont look for Petraus to say a word

I've known him since he was a captain, just before being promoted to major. It was always what was good for Dave above all else.

4. With respect to Petraus, your oath to the Cnstitution doesn't include anything about being optional.

No question that he has had high regard for himself.

In regard to generals speaking out, listen to what retired Major General Manner has to say. starting 3:02

7. Thank you for posting this clip from MG Manner

His comments are right on target. We need more of this but will our corporate media put them on the air? I think some retired generals need to come together as some kind of non-political coalition to demand press attention to the proper role of the military in the U.S.

6. Did any other General speak out?

Depressing if it's only him. He's on MSNBC all the time.
