General Mark Milley, another Never-Trump general and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, fired off a warning shot to President Trump during a speech on Wednesday.
Via CNN:
“We are unique among militaries. We do not take an oath to a king or a queen, a tyrant or a dictator. We do not take an oath to an individual. No, we do not take an oath to a country, a tribe or religion. We take an oath to the Constitution. And every soldier that is represented in this museum, every sailor, airman, Marine, Coast Guardsman, each of us will protect and defend that document, regardless of personal price,” Milley said during remarks at the opening of the US Army’s museum.

That’s what bothers me, we need some context here. I’m well known here at home for popping off at the mouth sometimes, but on this I’ll have to reserve judgement for later.
Then live up to that oath. The next President will be decided by votes of the Electoral College per Article II of the U.S. Constitution, not CNN.
I would have fired that slob when he started mouthing off about his trip with the President to the church.....that he shouldn’t have done it.
What was the trigger for this asshole’s statement?
Fire his ass.
That’s true, Milley. And part of that oath says we’ll defend against enemies foreign and domestic.
That includes you.
If the General stated that in public he should be fired by President Trump. Trump needs to rid the military of Obama’s perfumed princes.
Will someone please post the OFFICER’s Oath... correctly and currently as required to be given.
Not an enlisted person’s oath. Officer’s oath, and there is a different one for a General officer— please also post.
thank you!
Ping
Sounds like a coup.
If that quote is accurate and he really believes it then he is in concord with Trump. Trump’s problem is with the political generals who put their own political and financial interests ahead of the Constitution.
I told you before, this Milley dude needs to be fired. I thought he would go, when Esper did. He should take retirement, in lieu of court martial, since it is illegal to publicly talk trash about the CIC. He is no different than that chump Wesley Clark. Actually, he might be worse. So, has the chump been fired yet? He should have been gone by sundown.
Does ANYONE know if CIA director Haspel has been fired yet??}
Could have been a threat to Biden...
Why?
Biden is a nothing right now.
A nonentity.
Nada.
Until the elections results are certified next month.
crappy coup kook
If he really wanted to retire, all he had to do is quietly resign.
Time for the UCMJ take care of his highness, Mark Miley. He’s past the point where he could’ve resigned, and has now reached insubordination.
Always thought he looked sneaky and cowardly.
What he said is in fact correct, and he didn’t imply that Trump is not following the Constitution.
