Milley's note reminded ALL branches of their oath. He did not defy the President.
None of the military enlistees can disobey the POTUS -- NOT ONE.
Officers can resign their commissions, but they cannot commit mutiny. NOT LEGALLY, and NOT CONSTITUTIONALLY.
Any efforts to displace President Trumps authority and disarm the troops in the capitol is NOT a white hat plan,
We don't know yet why Esper did that.
It is highly possible that Antifa does have NG uniforms and did intend to use those to fire into the crowd.
The White House is protected.
There are federal agents, plenty there, plenty of ARMED MILITARY out of sight, and equipment beyond our understanding.
The POTUS could fire Esper at a moment's notice. This has not happened.
RED6: SEC OF DEF _instruct1
I believe we saw RED6.
MOVES AND COUNTERMOVES.
Ransomnote - you mentioned you had heard Milley say something undercutting POTUS' authority and if you could remember where that was? Or what he said? Because I didn't see anything in his letter that sounded like that.
Thank you for that. I guess I’m the only one who saw the photo of the unmarked military sniper in DC going to his position.
