'Terrible, Tragic Mistake:' Top General Warns Enemies Not to Test US Military Readiness
2020-04-10
[Military.com] "The Pentagon's top leaders said Thursday they can see a "light at the end of the tunnel" of the COVID-19 pandemic and stressed that the U.S. military remains a force in readiness, with fewer than 2,000 cases out of more than two million troops available to support contingency operations.

During an internet broadcast Thursday morning, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley warned adversaries that it would be a "terrible, tragic mistake if they thought that ... [they] can take advantage of any opportunities ... at a time of crisis."

"The U.S. military is very, very capable to conduct whatever operations are necessary to defend the American people," Milley said. "We will adapt ourselves to operating in a COVID-19 environment. We are already doing that."
Thank you, Capt. Crozier - without whom this message may not have been necessary.

#6  I wonder if this is going to be GM’s Waterloo. They will need new board of directors and management.

#5  GM themselves admitted that 7 out of 10 cars are made in China. Did the UAW help push GM to such an extreme?

#2  The 'Terrible, Tragic Mistake' was handing over our manufacturing base to the Chinese some 50 odd years ago. No warning may have been necessary, had that not been done.
