Morning Joe thinks this would only be offensive if done to Biden.

After seeing all the articles about his deplorable actions, I wrote a letter describing a time when the JCOS had an opportunity to behave legitimately and he could have followed that example.

Subject: General Milley Unpardonable

General Milley violated his oath of office. The Constitution unequivocally made the president commander in chief of the military. Therefore, civilian control of the military became sacrosanct and could never be violated. Remember that Truman had to fire MacArthur over that issue.

Vietnam provided an example of how legitimate behavior could have forestalled warfare options. McNamara stood between the JCOS and Johnson about Vietnam War escalation. His job became easier, because the JCOS often behaved more like bureaucrats than soldiers, sailors, or airmen.

However, the JCOS finally united, and there was a reckoning described in the article titled “Vietnam 1965: The Day It Became the Longest War”. They were concerned about committing to a land war. After making their presentation, which Johnson turned into a charade, they were treated to an unnerving and degrading performance.

“He screamed obscenities, he cursed them personally, he ridiculed them for coming to his office with their ‘military advice.’ Noting that it was he who was carrying the weight of the free world on his shoulders, he called them filthy names-shitheads, dumb shits, pompous assholes-and used ‘the F-word’ as an adjective more freely than a Marine in boot camp would use it.”

Based on what occurred, a proper course of action for them would have been to resign, and in civilian clothes, hold a press conference to explain their reasons for resigning. As junior officers, they had already risked much more than pensions and resumes. If truly disturbed, Milley should have done likewise.

Meanwhile Casa de Austin isn’t as humble:

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has a baller home worth nearly $3 million

Has the IRS checked this out... how a General can afford a mansion on military pay? Maybe Joe, Mika and Ignatius can look into it.
