To me - EVERYTHING about Milley is worthy of condemnation. From the calls to China to the drone strike comments - the man deserves to be booted from the Army. It remains to be see if he deserves a firing squad.

But he has his supporters.

Calmes: Gen. Mark Milley deserves commendation in the face of Deranged Trump Syndrome

Retired General: General Milley did his job | CNN

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was right to reassure China during the turbulent final days of Trump's presidency that the US was not going to suddenly, recklessly start a war with them, writes Ret. Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling. Milley was reacting to the realities on the ground, and those...

I don't get this at all. One, if Trump was acting all General Jack Ripper and muttering about precious bodily fluids, maybe he had a good reason. It's still not what the military does - they obey the commander-in-chief, but they SURE DON'T TELL our enemy that we will sacrifice American soldiers for political purposes. We don't totally co-opt the chain of command because we don't like the boss.

I typically ask people - in these instances - how would you feel if the OPPOSITE took place, where someone on the RIGHT decided to take matters in their own hands - or it was the RIGHT that was censoring news or calling the shots? Because if you're angry at THAT but ok with this, you're not being honest with yourself.

Anyone who supports Milley is another Trump hater, and just as guilty of Treason as Milley is.
Just another Obama Officer who would be part of the military Coup.
Of course there are others, including the ones he swore to secrecy.

The ONLY thing I can think of - is the two instances may have horribly misrepresented by Bob Woodward. That is totally possible.

However, on the drone strike alone, he should get canned. There's no way they did that if not in haste.

Trump was vilified for demanding loyalty. Milley goes around the room to get a verbal oath from every one in attendance. Where is the outrage? Smells of dictator syndrome to me. And I still want to know what body fat standard the JCS is held to because it certainly isn't the same as lower ranks.

I have asked that question of Lefties and they lie and say they'd be perfectly fine with it.

"Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley's intended Resignation Letter to Then-President Trump Revealed"; Trump should have removed him, again, a mistake, he should have faced any backlash, would have won!​




SOURCE 1

That’s according to a resignation letter that he obviously never sent, per The New Yorker. It reads:

‘I regret to inform you that I intend to resign as your Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Thank you for the honor of appointing me as senior ranking officer. The events of the last couple weeks have caused me to do deep soul-searching, and I can no longer faithfully support and execute your orders as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It is my belief that you were doing great and irreparable harm to my country. I believe that you have made a concerted effort over time to politicize the United States military. I thought that I could change that. I’ve come to the realization that I cannot, and I need to step aside and let someone else try to do that.

Second, you are using the military to create fear in the minds of the people—and we are trying to protect the American people. I cannot stand idly by and participate in that attack, verbally or otherwise, on the American people. The American people trust their military and they trust us to protect them against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and our military will do just that. We will not turn our back on the American people.

Third, I swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States and embodied within that Constitution is the idea that says that all men and women are created equal. All men and women are created equal, no matter who you are, whether you are white or Black, Asian, Indian, no matter the color of your skin, no matter if you’re gay, straight or something in between. It doesn’t matter if you’re Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Jew, or choose not to believe. None of that matters. It doesn’t matter what country you came from, what your last name is—what matters is we’re Americans. We’re all Americans. That under these colors of red, white, and blue—the colors that my parents fought for in World War II—means something around the world. It’s obvious to me that you don’t think of those colors the same way I do. It’s obvious to me that you don’t hold those values dear and the cause that I serve.

And lastly it is my deeply held belief that you’re ruining the international order, and causing significant damage to our country overseas, that was fought for so hard by the Greatest Generation that they instituted in 1945. Between 1914 and 1945, 150 million people were slaughtered in the conduct of war. They were slaughtered because of tyrannies and dictatorships. That generation, like every generation, has fought against that, has fought against fascism, has fought against Nazism, has fought against extremism. It’s now obvious to me that you don’t understand that world order. You don’t understand what the war was all about. In fact, you subscribe to many of the principles that we fought against. And I cannot be a party to that. It is with deep regret that I hereby submit my letter of resignation.’

So you are complaining Milley upheld his oath to our country and didn't become Trumps henchman while also claiming that Wray and Garland are becoming Biden's henchmen?

Do you see the hypocrisy?

Do you want them to be loyal to the country or the president?

What does their oath of office have to say?
