Boy am I feeling this guys pain as he talks about the great disappointment and feeling of betrayal as a former military and homeland security advisor. It is so heartbreaking that a supposed leader and his enablers have brought their own country to this.

Follow the money. Start with billionaires who have bought the government and set policy.

As a Marine Corps Assaultman who no longer wears the uniform, I can say that we Marines are a different breed. I am proud that we have someone with the character of Col. Lapan. Semper Fi

Domestic enemies are are far worse than foreign, and deserve must harsher treatment !

[emmdeecastro]

Domestic terrorists must be taken seriously. More so the uniformed personnel and elected officials!

The people in office should who may have contributed to the January 6th riot, I think that their phones should be streamed for anyone who tweeted about the riot at the Capitol Hill.

If you watch the footage of the horned guy on the House floor, the audio shows him and others fervently praying in the name of Jesus Christ. As a Christian, I find that appalling and down-right NOT Christian. How many of these extremists think they are following Christ? Looks to me they are following Trump. Sickening.

There were Capitol police who were sent home early and not called back. This was coordinated from within.

Domestic enemies or domestic terrorist? Smh

[BS-pvvv]

All of them need to be held accountable immediately!!!!

[donHooligan]

the "insurgency" proved that police CAN de-escalate violence, if they choose to.
patrol officers should not be allowed to drive around looking for a fight.
armed backup can be called in, but patrol officers should be looking to improve situations, not make them a bloody mess.

talk about how they can de-escalate violence, cuz they proved it.
disarm institutionalized racism.
don't let armed officers drive around looking for fights.

These clowns aren't too far from Timothy McVeigh. They're not as bad obviously but they did have bombs out there. Having bombs outside the Capitol...that's like a life sentence man!

First none peaceful transition of our lifetime

Any retired member of the military who was part of this sedition should lose their retirement benefits, such as medical and monthly payments

I saw domestic terrorism all summer long... That bunch was treated like heroes!

[chancerobinson]

Anytime you have the Military involved, there is no “Peaceful Transfer of Power”.

[mattmasters]

It seems to many that the enemy is not our countrymen, rather the politicians that are playing games with our livelihood, security and morality.

Great interview. I appreciate his honesty and service.

This is making America Great Again?
I could hear the frustration and sadness in his voice mounting.
