A former military leader revealed the "implied" message... Donald Trump left for active duty troops during his televised speech for America's top military brass.

"You're putting an infantryman, a tanker, a truck driver in front of the American people," Hertling said. "That would be like saying you and I could go out and arrest people and quell riots and do all those kinds of things. The military does have its force to support civilian authorities. If manpower is needed, certainly military forces can go to an area and protect guard buildings, put up fences, do the kind of things that you need a lot of people to do."

"But that razor's edge into policing activities again is, contrary to the Constitution and contrary to our laws," he continued. "So it shouldn't be done. But what I heard (Trump) say was an implied remark that he was telling everyone in that room is be prepared to do that."

Hertling added that it seemed Trump was stoking the fires of insurrection to justify deploying the military into American cities.
