"Sprint speed" says the Pentagon'sGeneral Miley in response to Capital terrorist attack.

That’s The pentagon’s response to the request for National Guard troops to help defend our nations CAPITAL building and All the elected leaders, Except of course the orange idiot. So god help us if a capable enemy attacks us, like Russia or China, or maybe Canada because we are toast.

Now I know why the last military conflict, war or police action we “won” is World War II. Our current military leaders are just not competent.

“Sprint Speed”? Good grief.

We need some new guys in green running military stuff.

to send troops to secure the House. George Patton would have been all over that and worried about rules and congressional outcry later.
