Is the new rule that Ivy League generals are beyond criticism?
American Thinker ^ | 26 Jun, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

It is if you’re a general who is more interested in defending leftist shibboleths and trendy racism than in the Constitution.

General Barry McCaffrey (retired, thank God), graduated from West Point, served in Vietnam, and put an end to his honorable career by attaching himself to the Clinton White House. Instead of fading decently away as old generals should, McCaffrey continues to insert himself into military politics, always with an eye to tilting the military towards the left. His latest opinion is that Tucker Carlson, a civilian, should be fired for daring to say that General Mark Milley, who is chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is an idiot and overall disgrace to the fine tradition of the American military.

As always when I write, I need to put into place a few basic predicates:

Up until the Obama administration started meddling with it, the American military was the most effortlessly diverse and harmoniously racially mixed institution in America. Not only was the military a meritocracy, every person serving understood that a military divided amongst itself is deadly, not to the enemy, but to the troops who serve.

Were and even are there racists in the military? Absolutely. In any group of people, you’re going to have idiots who are insecure or stupid enough to assume negative things about someone based upon the color of his skin or the shape of his eyes. The military, however, has always had an efficient system for getting rid of these people because their very existence endangers the troops and the missions.

The Obama administration, however, disliked the traditional military. What it did overtly was to open the military to openly homosexual and transgender troops.

Ultimately, 0bama fired almost 200 military officers.

The next conservative should fire all of the transgender supporters.

These generals are major Aholes that should have corporal punishment in private.

Perfumed prince.

Any general that supports trannys in the service is a traitor.

Milley is the very model of a modern major general. He really needs to hit the gym. He is a disgrace to the uniform in so many ways.

Saudi’s have their princes, America has their generals.

Cue the military boot lickers.

Gen Milley wants to understand White Rage? Well, General, listen closely:

If you are white and are 'woke' you have white guilt.

If you are white in a bi-racial marriage you are displaying your white guilt.

If you are white and have a bi-racial child you are displaying your white guilt AND oppressing your child.

If you support BLM, you are displaying and attempting to atone for your white guilt.

If you are white and claim that you are not racist you are a white supremacist.

If you are white and don't feel guilty then you are a racist oppressor.

If you are white and do not like the new woke rules, you are experiencing white rage.

Very poor judgement! I know he was a war hero and for that reason should be honored and appreciated. But what poor judgement! Risking his honorable career to please his radical bosses!

IMHO, there are so many ways he could have mealy mouthed his way out of this inquiry, unscathed. Now, his days are numbered. At lease I can hope.

Nope. Not these disgraces. And they are a disgrace to the uniform they wear and the oath they swore to uphold. Pretty sure it’s the same oath my dad swore me to in 1967. For me it still means what it meant then. These disgusting UPOS should be stripped of their rank and given general discharges. Less than honorable for undermining the mission. But, nobody’s gonna slap the crap out of any of them. Any respect the gained for their service is rapidly slipping away.

Patton would probably shoot Vanilla Milley instead of slapping him - of course the world would be a better place because of it.

Today these are the great, new, woke officers bringing openness and enlightenment to all.
