General Hertling, thank you for your decades of service and for continuing to serve the public by helping us understand these complex issues.
535 members of Congress. Apparently, none of which can control a cranky 5yr old. VS 340 MILLION AMERICANS. There IS an answer to this. DO IT !
The country should not be In a place where we are constantly wondering what the leadership will do next.
100% this was to make a list of names of those who didn't applaud. Pete didn't account for 100% of the audience being on that list
This was a Nazi-like attempt to enlist every upper level military to swear loyalty to this President — without actually asking them to “Heil!”
I’m pretty sure there are many Americans hoping the military will uphold the constitution and protect our country from unraveling. Thank you.
This General is still serving the American people! Thank God!
General Hertling is always professional, informative and honest. Thank you for conversing with him!
He wants to take over the country using the military before his term ends! He is testing the system.
I was really impressed at the decorum of the military leaders forced to endure this debacle. This is part of why our military continues to be revered by most Americans.
