Retired Army Brig. Gen. Steven Anderson warns federal judge that Trump’s proposed 250-foot ‘Triumphal Arch’ poses a terrorism risk near National Mall traffic circles

Retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Steven Anderson has told a federal judge that the proposed 250-foot “Triumphal Arch and Military Complex” in Washington would make the National Capital Region less safe, not more. Anderson, who served 31 years in the Army specializing in ordnance and logistics, called the project “ill-conceived” and “unsupportable as described” in a sworn declaration filed in support of a lawsuit seeking to block construction.
