Franks Warns of Military State if U.S. Attacked

HeadlineNov 24, 2003

Gen. Tommy Franks has predicted that the U.S. may discard the Constitution in favor of a military government if the country is attacked with weapons of mass destruction. In an interview with Cigar Aficionado, Franks said if such a attack occurred “the Western world, the free world, [would] lose what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we’ve seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy.”
