Two of the US military's most senior leaders issued a stark warning Thursday that the threat from the coronavirus is still high and stressed they are preparing for a possible second wave.

"That threat is not going away any time soon," Admiral Michael Gilday, chief of naval operations, told a small group of reporters."Nobody has a crystal ball."That was underscored by General David Berger, commandant of the Marine Corps."Clearly we have learned a hell of a lot from the last three, four months that we are going to apply should that happen," Berger said."We will be prepared for it."Neither officer mentioned President Donald Trump.

While Trump and Defense Secretary Mark Esper were publicly optimistic at a Rose Garden event last week that a vaccine would be ready by the turn of the year, Esper has been cautious about the future course of the virus."We are preparing for a second wave and maybe more. We don't know what the trajectory of this virus will be," he said May 7 during a visit to the US Northern Command in Colorado,"We are preparing for the long haul.

Senior officials advised against Trump emergency arms sales to SaudisMike Pompeo disregarded the advice of high-level officials at the State Department, Pentagon and within the intelligence community in invoking an emergency waiver last year to circumvent congressional review of billions of dollars in arms sales to the Gulf It's all good. NOT!!! Pompous Pompeo is a study in hypocricy. He claims to be an evangelical Christian. He considers that bestows upon him the god given right to 'lie on behalf of what god challenged him to accomplish.' A truely misguided Christian. It’s likely worst, he probably got an under table cut too Trumpism Trumpism
