General Mark Milley Threatens President: “We Do Not Take an Oath to King or Queen, a Tyrant or Dictator”
Gateway Pundit ^ | November 12, 2020 | Jim Hoft

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.

I took and oath to defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. The Constitution is not operative when domestic enemies set it aside through fraud, and those who try to cover up that fraud and thwart the will of the people expressed through lawful votes are our domestic enemies. If Mark Milley does not stand for defending the Constitution against fraud, then he is a domestic enemy unless maybe he is a foreign one.

“...defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL ENEMIES, foreign and DOMESTIC...”

Half the country doesn’t believe in this, including many who took the oath.

I bet if you asked a simple question about something in the Constitution the general wouldn’t be able to answer it.

remember it is up to a bunch of weak kneed judges. Some judges just want a paycheck and are terrified of fame.

Uh, where is the threat to President Trump in that comment? (Note: I just read the posted heading and lead-in, I did not go to the site to read the whole thing. Thus, if Milley did make a threat against the president in the body of the article, he needs to resign his commission immediately or get fired tomorrow.)

He’s in the league of McClellan who made all kinds of excuses to Lincoln why engaging the enemy and fighting was not a good idea.

No kidding. He was dedicating a Gold Star Families exhibit in the Pentagon, for Pete’s sake. These people make it sound like he’s been caught gearing up to cross the Rubicon.

He might read the Constitution and find out what the President’s duty is as stated in the Constitution.

I'd been a long time, but here's the oath as I remember it:
I, (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the president of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
And there's nothing in the UCMJ that says you should not follow the president's orders during an insurrection. In fact, everything in that oath says you should follow his legal orders in such a situation and Trump has given absolutely no indication his orders would be anything other than strictly legal and above board.

Pres. Trump should fire him right now before his scheming disobedient a$$ causes real problems.

“We take an oath to the Constitution.”

Of which the jackass liberal traitor has never read.

Let him try to use the military against the people and he’ll be the first to go.

"country, a tribe or religion. We take an oath to the Constitution."

I don't get these high-ranking officers who don't realize an Oath to the Constitution is an Oath to the "country" it represents.

Is Donald John Trump still President of the United States of America?

If so, what’s this Generalissimo yapping about? Or is fake news putting words in his mouth to create a gaslight incident? I haven’t checked yet.
