A Department of Defense adviser resigned, effective immediately, from the military's science board citing what he believed to be a violation of conduct from Defense Secretary Mark Esper.
In his resignation letter, James Miller Jr., the former under secretary of defense for policy from 2012 to 2014, recalled that he swore an oath of office to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States ... and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same," similar to what the defense secretary had done before he took office.
"On Monday, June 1, 2020, I believe that you violated that oath," Miller wrote in his letter to Esper, which was obtained by The Washington Post.
Miller's reasoning centered around President Donald Trump's controversial visit to St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington, DC, on Monday, where he posed with a Bible for photographs as protesters in the surrounding area were hit with smoke canisters and pepper balls at the event, according to the United States Park Police.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, the Episcopal bishop, described the scene to CNN and The Washington Post as an "abuse of sacred symbols" amid a "a backdrop for a message antithetical to the teachings of Jesus and everything that our churches stand for."
Esper, along with US Army Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was also present during the visit.
"Law-abiding protesters just outside the White House were dispersed using tear gas and rubber bullets — not for the sake of safety, but to clear a path for a presidential photo op," Miller wrote. "You then accompanied President Trump in walking from the White House to St. John's Episcopal Church for that photo."

he’s counting on Biden winning to get back in-
Boy let the President hold a Bible and the leftist world goes crazy.
Good riddance, Bigot!
He was looking for a reason anyway. This seemed to fill the bill. So long, then. We’ll be fine.
” ...his resignation letter, James Miller Jr., the former under secretary of defense for policy from 2012 to 2014,”
Cried in public...
“I’m a pussy!”
Exactly. LOL
The swamp is self-draining!
Goodbye & Good Riddance
Yet another obamanoid. Trump allows these cretins to stay on and undermine him.
Christ Christie and Newt Ginrich (not exactly rock-ribbed conservatives) begged him to dismiss as many as possible back in early in 2017.
Cockroaches run when the light comes on.
Exactly! The U.S. Park Police reported that "many" in the crowd in Lafayette Park on June 1, 2020, started to get violent at 6:33 pm ET. The crowd wasn't entirely "peaceful" by any means (I saw this myself on Fox News' live coverage).
The U.S. Park Police also reported that they did NOT use tear gas (I don't know about the rubber bullets). They said they used "smoke cannisters and pepper balls" to disperse the crowd.
Staged event; another propaganda bullet fired wildly.
2012 to 2014
That says it all!
Good riddance!
2012-2014
A technical advancement in waste management....garbage that takes itself out...
Bunch of whiners
