General McCaffrey is speaking out [View all]

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?
