Top U.S. General Said Trump Preached ‘Gospel of the Führer’
New York Magazine ^ | July 14, 2021 | Ben Jacobs

Posted on 07/14/2021 4:36:37 PM PDT by Trump20162020

General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, likened Donald Trump’s effort to hold on to power after the 2020 election to Adolf Hitler, saying the president was preaching “the gospel of the Führer” with his lies about the election being stolen, according to a new book by two Washington Post reporters.

Milley was disturbed by the sight of Trump supporters rallying to his cause in November, calling them “Brownshirts in the streets.” Leonnig and Rucker wrote that Milley “believed Trump was stoking unrest, possibly in hopes of an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and call out the military.” The general likened the U.S. to Germany’s fragile Weimar Republic in the early 1930s. “This is a Reichstag moment,” he said, referring to the arson attack on Germany’s Parliament that Hitler used as a pretext to assume absolute power and destroy democracy.

“These guys are Nazis, they’re boogaloo boys, they’re Proud Boys. These are the same people we fought in World War II,” Milley said a week after the attack on the Capitol.

For those serving in the military, they should quit...Otherwise they’re working for and supporting these lying leftist/Communist misfits.

What a spectacular message if a million of them up and quit.

My experience too.
In all the years (⩪40) I worked in the defense industry I was always amazed at the number of officer leftists I met.

I wonder when General Millie will go after Terry McAuliff and the rest of the Democrat Party for saying that Al Gore was the real winner of the election in 2000.

Video of McAuliff here

I am not going to hold my breath.

This being is the same “general” who defended his systemic racism beliefs earlier. Now he releases FAKE NEWS after disgracing himself in attempting to explain his racist views.

W/twerps such as these ‘men’ we can only wonder what our chances would be should we eventually see ourselves in combat with any adversary breaking down our doors.

To err is human, but this level of bonehead takes an Ivy League degree.

I remember there was a small group of neo-nazis at Spangdahlem AB in the late 70s. They were dealt with expeditiously.

For the last 4 years, it’s been very ‘fashionable’ to claim that Trump stole the election from Hillary. Hillary being the primary and most vocal cheerleader of the claim.

Now we’ve gone from ‘fashionable’ to ‘nazi’ for the same claim?

I never hear any comparisons with Mussolini or Francisco Franco. I wonder what Germans in general think of America demonizing them as a people because they’re not Italian or Spanish? Or is Milley just a woke-beat snob?

Then I’m sure the General’s vehement denials will be heard shortly...

Seeing as the House controls the purse strings, should the Republicans regain the House in 2022 funding for the military should be dramatically scaled back until this *hitstain Milley is fired.
