This entire line of reasoning is completely and utterly laughable - it can't be taken seriously in the context of this story, for the following three reasons:

1) "General, I really don't think I should have to explain the concepts of blowback or unintended consequences to a United States Army General...but it's pretty clear I do."
2) "You're claiming the world is more safe now than in 1938? Did you just forget the Cold War? The proliferation of nuclear weapons? Terrorism? I'm not even getting into the supervillains or alien invasions here. No, I'm sorry, but on a purely geopolitical level the world is LESS SAFE than it ever was, meaning your little black-ops military operation has been wholly INCOMPETENT from Day One."
3) "Yes, I care about the public - I believe power such as mine requires a check and balance - again, not a concept I thought I would ever have to explain to an American."

But good dear (insert name of preferred deity/magic invisible spaceman here) this is goddamn stupid on every conceivable level. Everyone involved in this comic should resign in shame.
