Gen'l McCaffrey: Reluctantly I have concluded that Trump is a serious threat to US national security

Reluctantly I have concluded that President Trump is a serious threat to US national security. He is refusing to protect vital US interests from active Russian attacks. It is apparent that he is for some unknown reason under the sway of Mr Putin.

Had he been born to a real estate magnate and gotten draft deferments instead of serving in the military he'd be a clone of the Blathering Yam- egotistical, self-aggrandizing, unreflective, privileged and destructive.

Barry is a genuine American hero who worked in the Clinton Admin and in his Cabinet. He has been a long time contributor to MSNBC on military expertise, and I've always found him extremely balanced and well suited. Maybe it is my 29 years with the Air Force speaking, but you do our side no favors denigrating such quality people!

to agree with you. I’ve seen him on MSNBC for years and always thought he was well spoken and sided with Democrats.

The bigger longer-term problem of the corruption of the RepubliCons can wait for the moment (but not too long!).

He's said it and the good news it will carry a LOT of weight with senrior military staff and even the Joint Chiefs.

Go Barry!
