During his opening statement in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday morning, General Mark Milley denied inappropriate phone calls with the Chinese military and tried to reassure Americans he is dedicated to civilian control of the military.
"I am specifically directed to communicate with the Chinese. These military to military communications at the highest level are critical to the security of the United States," Milley said. "My loyalty to this Nation, its people, and the Constitution hasn't changed, and will never change, as long as I have a breath to give. My loyalty is absolute, and I will not turn my back on the fallen."
"I firmly believe in civilian control of the military," he continued.

A CIB is a Combat Infantryman’s Badge.
2nd reply. And you claim army E-5 sad.
We had too many rules of engagement.
He’s a liar.
Hah.....yellow fever.......nails it.
I agree with that but I don’t know what protocol is. That said, the moment Pelosi says something about the mental state of the POTUS, Milley should have excused himself and reported to someone. If he called His Chinese counterpart, maybe he said we have a Speaker of the House who is a loose cannon. I’ll warn you if she does anything.
Of course, that’s fantasy. I don’t believe anything good about anyone in DC.
LTC Lindsey who was last CCS CO wrote the book. Randy Harrison and all contributed. Sorry, I just respected our SGM’s.
I've transitioned out of the military 50 years ago and now speak English......
Why do you have a problem with that? You're more than sad, you're pathetic......Sheesh!
Yes I was, 50 years ago........
It’s all acronyms and this is normal speak for all who are/have been involved.
Then you should be very familiar with WWBD............LOL!
No E-5 is so dumb he does not know what a CIB is.
then why did he make an unsolicited call to the Chinese in Dec indicating such? And why did he make a call in Dec if Pelosi didn't contact him with her psychotic fantasy until Jan? Were the details of his Dec call leaked and spread until it made the rounds to Pelosi's office but somehow never made it to the Oval Office?
Really?
I think the only time he is taking economy with the truth is when his lips move.
He has lots of practice at telling the truth, in a version that does not include everything he knows. He is also expert at being the hero of his own stories. A self-promoting legend in his own mind.
Consider me dumb with memory deficiency and proud to be dressed down by some internet asshole.............I salute you sir!
Bump every word!
Amen! Inquiring minds would love to know.
Respect!
He’s a liar.🙄
I think they knew the fix was in at that time.🤔
