'There was Going to Be No Military Coup': Trump Sec. of Defense Destroys Jan. 6 Narrative (Former Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller)

Thanks for the post, bitt.

Here is the new book mentioned in the show by SecDef Christopher Miller. I'm very interested in his view that we are lending to Ukraine and preparing our troops to fight YESTERDAY's warfare with yesterday's weapons; and how we must step up to new methods:

This is the Barnes & Noble "Overview" of the book:

President Trump's last secretary of defense shares harrowing stories of missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, gives an insider look at the tumultuous final days of the administration, and issues a stark warning about the readiness of the military under President Biden.
If you know one thing about Chris Miller, it's that he was President Donald Trump's final Secretary of Defense, elevated to that position in the days after the 2020 election. If you know a second thing about Chris Miller, it's that he oversaw the U.S. Armed Forces during one of the most controversial and tumultuous periods the military has experienced in decades, culminating in the shocking events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Yet Chris Miller is no political partisan. On the contrary, Miller has spent his adult life in the crosshairs of America's most dangerous enemies—from Middle Eastern deserts to the bowels of U.S. intelligence agencies—and emerged as one of the leading national security minds of his generation.
Needless to say, Chris Miller has stories to tell. In Soldier Secretary, he reveals for the first time everything he saw—in a book that is candid, thought-provoking, and like that of no Secretary of Defense before him. This book is not just the inside story of what happened during the Trump administration—it's the inside story of what happened to America, its military, and its institutions during the two decades after September 11, 2001.
Part badass, part iconoclast, Miller is an irreverent, heterodox, and always-fascinating thinker whose personal journey through war and the White House has led him to some shocking conclusions about the state of American power in 2021. With a perspective that will surprise and interest both Republicans and Democrats, Miller argues for a radical rethinking of U.S. national security strategy unlike anything since the creation of the joint armed forces in the 1980s. He offers a roadmap for how the United States can win in the era of unrestricted warfare by shedding the bloated defense bureaucracy, bringing American forces home from endless conflicts, renewing our national unity, and beating China at its own game
Miller is a true American warrior whose incredible journey from Iowa to Afghanistan to Iraq to the White House endeared him to the troops, prepared him for the unprecedented crisis of January 6, and left him deeply concerned about the future of our military and the future of our nation.

“Interesting - we’ve been told by some here the coup did occur, Miller is actually still the SecDef, and Trump is still President, and we have been living under Martial Law since January 2021.”

Haha. Yeah, my sister, bless her heart, is a Q tard, and she believes Trump is still POTUS.

She says that the Biden Administration was given a choice:

A) In the interest of preventing panic, let the public believe the election was not stolen, Biden won, and is POTUS. But in reality, President Trump will be calling the shots. Or..

B) Step down, face criminal charges for election tampering and other treasonous acts.

Biden chose to stay out of prison and enjoy the perquisites of the Pesedency, but it’s all an act.

My sister really believes this stuff - or she did last time we spoke of it a year ago. It’s called “Devolution” and it’s one of the Q fantasies

I would bet she’s having doubts at this point though, given what a complete disaster Biden has been.

If Trump were secretly running things, we wouldn’t be facing another Great Depression and we wouldn’t be on the brink of WWIII. Big Pharma wouldn’t be poisoning the world with fake vaccines and millions of criminals wouldn’t be trafficking humans and fentanyl across our southern border. January 6 protesters wouldn’t be rotting in DC dungeons.

Just finished reading the book. Very well written account filled with exploits of his Army service including several tours in Afganistan, Iraq, at the NSC, and his post military service as Secretary of Defense.

The more I read, the more I hoped he would serve in a future administration. He offers frank, but interesting observations, candid personal admissions, and large number of controversial recommendations. His book was well worth my time and yours.

I found myself comparing him favorably with many of the marine and navy personnel (officers & enlisted) I valued most during my career.
