LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — For the first time, a high-ranking and decorated member of America’s military has come out swinging against President Donald Trump.
Retired four-star Gen. Barry McCaffrey tweeted Friday that the president was a threat to national security.
Actually, he tweeted that the president was “a serious threat” to national security.
McCaffrey, 75, is a highly decorated soldier who has been awarded two Silver Stars, three Purple Hearts and two Distinguished Service Crosses. He served in Vietnam. The president avoided service in the war due to bone spurs.
The retired general known for his no-nonsense approach wrote that president Trump seemed to be under Russian President Vladimir Putin’s sway “for some unknown reason.”

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.— Barry R McCaffrey (@mccaffreyr3) March 16, 2018
The Gadfly will cut right to the chase.
General Barry McCaffrey is no flaming liberal. His voice and his viewpoint are based on his decorated military career and his lifelong dedication to this nation's and it's people's safety and security, our constitution, and our way of life.
The Gadfly cannot speak for anyone but his self, but it goes without saying, that The Gadfly sides with a highly respected and decorated career military man who has put his life on the line for this country and led other American men and women in to battle on behalf of his sworn duty to safeguard our national security interests and our democracy and freedoms.
The rest of you all will need to decide, hopefully soon, whether you are on General McCaffrey's side or on this military service, draft dodging asshole's side:
Choose wisely.
