And here he was before his retirement from Special Forces and before becoming SecDef:

Baseball fans know the score. When the general manager says he's behind the manager 100%, that means the manager has two weeks left.
Biden just said, "I have great confidence in General Milley." Look for Milley to soon decide to spend more time with his family.
Bob Woodward has a new book, "Peril," the latest in his series of books on Washington that explain the deep state's version of reality. To promote his book, he played up his interview with PC General Milley. He said he called General Li of Red China when Trump was president and promised to give Li a head's up on any military action we take.
Instead of showing how dangerous Trump was, it showed how dangerous to the nation Milley is. His boss, the secretary of defense, did not authorize the January 6 call.
Who knows who Milley is calling today?
Within 24 hours, the Hero of the Battle of Mar-a-Lago has become bad baggage for Biden. The peril in "Peril" is not President Trump, but Milley, who has confirmed the story.
His excuse was as weak as a baby's arms. It was so bad that he was not man enough to deliver the message. He had his butler -- Colonel Butler -- tell reporters, "His calls with the Chinese and others in October and January were in keeping with these duties and responsibilities conveying reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability."
He worked behind the commander-in-chief's back.
That is called mutiny.
A White House official said 10 subordinates are willing to testify against him.
The butler confirmed this, adding that the "meeting regarding nuclear weapons protocols was to remind uniformed leaders in the Pentagon of the long-established and robust procedures in light of media reporting on the subject."
That, too, is weak. As weak as watered down tea.
Axios reported, "When Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley goes before Congress on Sept. 28, he may face some of the most hostile questioning of any modern four-star general."
Will he still be around by then?
It is not just the surrender of Afghanistan that bothers them. It's the sedition too. He was the General Leak of the Trump Era.
Axios said, "Republicans were already irate with Milley for playing a starring role in a string of recent Trump books.
"Even some of his friends are cringing over his extensive and high-profile scenes in these books and perceptions that he's participated on deep background with multiple authors."
Christopher Miller, who served as Secretary of Defense when Milley made his promise to General Li, told Fox he did not authorize the communication.
Uh-oh.
Miller said, "The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the highest-ranking military officer whose sole role is providing military-specific advice to the president, and by law is prohibited from exercising executive authority to command forces.
"The chain of command runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense, not through the Chairman."
Miller also said, "If the reporting in Woodward’s book is accurate, it represents a disgraceful and unprecedented act of insubordination by the Nation’s top military officer. [snip] his histrionic outbursts and unsanctioned, anti-Constitutional involvement in foreign policy prove true, he must resign immediately or be fired by the Secretary of Defense to guarantee the sanctity of the officer corps."
Miller is a retired Special Forces colonel.
Democrats are staying on the sidelines while a few key Republican senators -- Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio -- want Milley out.
Meanwhile, Biden's poll numbers are dropping amid a vaccine mandate, rising inflation, a surrender of Afghanistan, leaving thousands of Americans behind in Afghanistan, and bequeathing billions in war materiel to the Taliban.
General managers fire baseball managers in mid-season because nothing else can be done. Politics is the same. George McGovern said of his VP running mate Thomas Eagleton, "I’m behind him 1000%"
Two days later, he was gone.
When Biden said, "I have great confidence in General Milley," the countdown to his departure began.
That’s what I was thinking....a firing squad while he’s wearing an orange jumpsuit, if they can find one big enough to cover his enormous girth.
That Trump-hating SOB could have started a nuclear war by his actions.
And here he was before his retirement from Special Forces and before becoming SecDef:
I won’t be happy til they rip his buttons and epaulettes off and break his sword. Reduce him in rank to 2nd Lt.
Branded,
Marked with a traitor’s name,
What do you do when you’re handed,
It’s the end of the game.
Leave him at his desk with his service pistol and one round.
I thought I detested Soros....but this guy is soaring in my hate category.
I found a loose thread to pick at. Maybe.
Milley’s story is the Chinese were freaking because they thought Trump would do something crazy with nukes. This supposedly, after nearly four years of the Chinese dealing with the very tough and non-crazy Trump trade tactics.
All the (fake) polls in October were predicting a Biden blow-out. Was it really Trump the Chinese were freaking out over, or was it Biden? They had to have known by that time that Biden was mostly gone around the bend, and by all accounts he was the new incoming POTUS.
Milley never found it necessary to intervene during any other part of the Trump administration, not until it seemed likely Biden would be taking over.
Now that this meddling has been uncovered, Milley is saying it was about Trump because that narrative goes down like sugar in DC. But just maybe it was never about Trump.
Call me old fashioned, but why can’t we have public hangings on pay per view?
Psaki said at least 3 times that Trump instigated the 1/6 frat party. Not one reporter- or pub politician for that matter- pointed out that the FBI report said Trump did NOT cause that.
They’re trying to turn the Milley thing into Trump Was Dangerous.
Milley has a series of crimes behind him. Focusing on this is a smokescreen.
Given the facts, as alleged, are true, Milley should be busted to private and sent to federal death row in Terre Haute, IN. My only regret is that the federal death penalty does not include hanging. Instead he gets the needle.
You have to wonder why the Chinese were so worried. They continue to engage in acts of war, eventually, they will cause a war.
Seems like we are seeing a procession of “bad news” events related to the Bidenreich whereby each new installment serves only to get the previous bad news off the front pages.
The Milley affair happened to get the sheeple to forget the vax mandate, which happened to get them to forget Afghanistan. Shortly something else will come along to make them forget about Milley, maybe a false flag planned for DC tomorrow.
They went after General Flynn for nothing.
All they need to do, is threaten to cut off his pension, and he’ll sing like a song bird.
The mussilini farewell
I agree. Lots of people have a normalcy bias and have yet to realize we’re now living in “A brave new world”.
His replacement will be another Nancy dinner party princess.
Forget firing or resigning. He needs to be put against a wall and shot for treason.
He will be getting a book deal and be a commenter on cnn or msnbc. Millions being transferred.
The left bankrupted a General for supporting Trump and loving the country and silly nillly gets to be a treasonous traitor and gets rewarded. We Are In A War, this is Idiocracy.
