Retired 4-Star General Demands Tucker Carlson Be Fired for Slamming Top US General on TV
Western Journal ^ | June 26, 2021 | C. Douglas Golden

In 2020, if you wanted to get a Democrat outraged, you’d have someone in President Donald Trump’s administration speak ill of the media. In 2021, if you want to get a Democrat outraged, have a member of the media speak ill of someone in President Joe Biden’s administration.

In this regard, Fox News host Tucker Carlson seems to be a prominent target, particularly when he criticizes how the military has gone woke. On his program Thursday, he criticized Joint Chiefs of Staff head Gen. Mark Milley for his remarks defending critical race theory training and saying he wanted to understand “white rage” before a congressional hearing.

Carlson called Milley “obsequious” and said, “He knows who to suck up to and he’s more than happy to do it. Feed him a script and he will read it.”

In one of the more jocund parts of the segment, after a clip was played featuring Milley noting that reading about critical race theory didn’t make him a critical race theorist — “I’ve read Mao Zedong. I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist,” Milley said — Carlson laughed and said Milley was “not just a pig, he’s stupid.”

For that, a retired four-star general wants Carlson fired.

Generals, “the perfumed princes of the Pentagon”, are telling Americans to shut up. This is not going to end well.

I took one for the team and clicked on the link to see who it was:

In a tweet on Friday afternoon, Barry McCaffrey — a former drug czar during the administration of President Bill Clinton, now a military analyst with NBC News and MSNBC — asked why Fox News hadn’t terminated Carlson for making those remarks.

“Let this sink in. Tucker Carlson on live Fox TV called Gen Mark Milley the Chairman of the JCS ‘Stupid’ and a ‘Pig,’” McCaffrey tweeted.

When a General starts playing politics it’s war to the death.

Why not just declare the “Dictatorship of the Proletariat” and be done with it? How does any member of the US Armed Forces get to even the rank of Private without knowledge of the importance of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution? Send this poltroon to the stockade~!

“I’ve read Mao Zedong. I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin...."

Maybe he should have been reading Hamilton, Madison, Jefferson....

Why does it seem that somebody on the left is trying to get Tucker Carlson fired almost every day? Are they really interested in challenging their notions of world events or are they like the the medieval Roman Catholic church that wanted to burn anyone at the stake that challenged their monopoly on reality? Is Tucker the new Galileo?

Generals are supposed to protect the Constitution (including the First Amendment regarding speech). This puts him and the other CRT concerned General in the class of a enemy of a domestic nature. They support a dictatorship and not the Republic.

Maybe General Milley and other top Generals and Admirals should read a few books on how to win a war....

or

Winning a War for Dummies

20 years in Afghanistan and the Taliban are still at it, with no Air Force, no Navy, no nothing really except knowledge of the area and a will to keep going.

You anger a Conservative when you lie about them and you anger a Wokie when you tell the truth about them.

He’s retired so he’s got little to do other than run his mouth to make a few bucks.

He’s retired. He’s just an ex-government employee with an opinion. There are lots of them. And, of course, opinions vary.
