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."

So what was he caught doing?
The never Trumpers are going wild over this resignation! Rick Wilson is a mindless toad leading the rabid pack, followed by that lightweight joe walsh
On the one hand, I’m confused. Whatshisface thinks somebody violated his oath of office, so whatshisface resigns? Fprtunately, on the other hand, I don’t really care what this jagoff thinks or does. So there’s that
Was also googling for pics of Martin Luther King Jr. holding a Bible, but could find none (was instead directed - again and again - to images of President Trump holding one).

Good riddance pussy...
Quoting W.C. Fields, he reads the bible “Looking for loopholes”.
Oh BTW, you have lost your integrity...
Propaganda.
It's Satan's Bible. Knowing Clinton it contained the "Old Testicle."

Resigned because she complained ?

Miller is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and International Institute for Strategic Studies.Miller clearly has absolutely no knowledge of new weapons systems that may be useful to the U. S. Military.The Defense Science Board was established in 1956 in response to recommendations of the Hoover Commission:The Assistant Secretary of Defense (Research and Development) will appoint a standing committee, reporting directly to him, of outstanding basic and applied scientists. This committee will canvass periodically the needs and opportunities presented by new scientific knowledge for radically new weapons systems.
Miller earned his B.A. with honors in economics from Stanford; he earned his master's degree and his Ph.D., both in public policy, from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.[4] His 1989 Ph.D. thesis was Approaching Zero: An Evaluation of Radical Reductions in Superpower Nuclear Arsenals.[5]One more flush down the drain of the swamp, and he did it himself!
This stinking communist POS would have been outraged the hundreds of speeches by George Washington, and FDR as well, that called for a strong recognition of the Nation's Christian roots and principles...
I hope he finds ultimate joy & happiness in Fort Marcy Park...
On his way back to the ORAL Office
This mangina never served a day in uniform. Just an academic that became a staffer and got an Obama appointment. A total pussy. He is wracked with sadness over seeing the rioters get pushed out of the park and for the National Guard to ensure the safety of our cities. He calls the crowd that defaced the WWII, Lincoln, and Korean war monuments and tried to burn a 200 year old church... protected peaceful protesters.
Disgusting to see a man waste his life like that.
FORMER. He hasn't been that since 2014. He was just on an advisory panel as a courtesy of his former post.
Gee, I haven’t seen that on the fake news channels. I wonder why?
they admitted they did use pepper spray...technically, not CS
Thanks, Great perspective on the media’s portrayal!
