Lord, save us from tyrants in the military.
Like President Eisenhower, President Trump is well aware of the realities of the Military Industrial Complex.
Whatever the General intends in his statement, the Constitution offers states some guarantees of protection in Article IV Section 4 that have required action by US armed forces in past years, and could require them again.
Legislatures can require protection against domestic violence when they are in session and perhaps should do so when their Governors turn a blind eye.
Milley thinks he is being clever by mentioning the Constitution. But otherwise, his words echo military tyranny.
