Gen McCaffrey: 4 combat tours. NEVER EMPLOYED AP MINES
Link to tweet
Barry R McCaffrey ✔@mccaffreyr3
Nonsense decision. AP Mines poor defensive tool. Directional command detonated mines immensely more effective, less dangerous to emplace. AP Mines long term danger to civilians. 30 day self detonate reduces threat. 4 combat tours. NEVER EMPLOYED AP MINES.

President Trump has rescinded restrictions on the US military's ability to use landmines, weapons that have been banned by more than 160 countries due to their history of killing and wounding civilians, the White House says https://cnn.it/36ROehA

Trump was smart to pick some generals. He just picked all the wrong ones.
