“There is no role for the U.S. military in determining the outcome of an American election,” Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy and Army chief of staff Gen. James McConville wrote in a joint statement Friday."

True enough. They may, however, have a role in enforcing the results.

Didn’t the US Military have a strong role to play in running some Iraqi Elections?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Not his call.

[Bellagio]

No, you invoke the Insurrection Act... not marshal law.

[Widget Jr]

To be fair to McCarthy and Gen. McConville, Flynn knows better than to talk on behalf of others like he did.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

Milley should have been fired when Esper was fired.

[M Kehoe]

Hi.

In the fwiw department, this whole event reminds me of December 1860.

[Hostage]

Milley is irrelevant.

I'm trying to find the EXACT statement. It was written statement. I did several searches, and I can find nothing more. So, context? No word "martial law". "Determining the outcome" is not even relevant. ANd Lara Why the freaking heQQ would big military guys talk this person? Why not issue the statement a more professional way?

Newsmax: "There is no role for the U.S. military in determining the outcome of an American election," Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy and Army chief of staff Gen. James McConville wrote in a joint statement Friday.

Just in: @SecArmy Ryan McCarthy and @ArmyChiefStaff Gen. McConville respond to former Gen. Flynn's remarks urging Trump to declare martial law to overturn the election results: “There is no role for the U.S. military in determining the outcome of an American election.”— Lara Seligman (@laraseligman) December 18, 2020

On Friday, senior Army officials told @laraseligman the military would have "no role" in overturning the results of the election https://t.co/knfQjRGCLm— Blake News (@blakehounshell) December 19, 2020

We need to flood DC with 10 million people....every day from tomorrow until January 20th!.....that would actually do something

[jcon40]

C’ mon man (to quote Biden) ....

Maybe the generals merely sayin

If there’s an armed uprising against the thieves that stole the election the thieves are on their own.

[Grampa Dave]

How about the Marine Corp?

Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy and Army chief of staff Gen. James McConville released a statement Friday...

These two fools serve the Commander-in-Chief!   They should be axed just for this subordinate act alone.

[linMcHlp]

So we find the US Army generals exercising:

The Jeff Sessions theory of governance, that once in position, the personal responsibility for, and duty to, protect and defend our democratic-republic and its foundations . . . may be abandoned.

Thus, generals recuse themselves by way of a list of Things That They Will Not Do!

While their duty requires that the foundation of:

Lawful vote procedures including:

- the voter must be an American citizen

- the voter must be lawfully registered

- only lawful ballots are to be counted

for examples, are to be preserved.

Because, there is no democratic-republic form preserved, without the integrity of the voting for duly-elected representation.

Hence, the US Army generals are in violation of their oath, and betraying their duty, and acting to subvert the authority of our Constitution and the protection of our democratic-republic.

All such generals should be fired immediately.
