I got a laugh from the paragraph where he said that Miller and the others wore “geiger counters”...

He passed himself off as a knowledgable DoD familiar writer but did not know what a “dosimeter” was. Or even a “Radiation Detection Badge”

Just another POS swamp creature.

There is definitely signs of tension and mistrust of Biden and the military. They are popping up everywhere. This article is exactly as you say.

what a contradictory article. First Miller says he couldn’t do anything without a presidential order, then brags that his team issued the order.

The reality is, Trump wanted NG and lots of them, and was ‘advised’ not to do that because of optics. He was assured the Capitol Police had matters in hand. He then delegated power to call up the NG (i.e., issued a verbal presidential order) to the same SofDef who was part of those who ‘advised’ him on optics. This was followed up on by Pence, who some have also credited, contrary to Miller’s narrative, with being the first to act.

Lesson to all: civilian police are not legally obligated to ‘protect’ - as Mayor Bowser knows well and as we witnessed for ourselves: cops filmed leaving the scene and ignoring pleas from the crowd to ‘do something’.

The real question is, who were those advisors who stood in Trump’s way and slapped down his request for NG,, days prior to the rally? Let them step forward into the light.

Thank you...Trump wanted sufficient military there so that there would NOT be a problem at the capitol...how could you interpret it any other way? The whole District of Columbia is rotten, filled with self-serving traitors, welfare queens, overweight military who never went into combat, and fat cat lobbyists...what a pathetic bunch but they have the clout to destroy this country.

Original article is Vanity Fair. Really? Vanity Fair?

Task and Purpose hat tip to the cherry military boys.

If you read the Vanity Fair HIVE piece (how apropos), it was junk. Ciralsky fluffed it out by repeating the mere details of his embed at 2 different places in the article, then incorporated what should have been a sidebar about Cohen in mid-narrative. Poorly written, poorly (and probably angrily) re-written, and poorly edited from pillar to post.

The only salient takeaway is that Miller comes off as a loose-cannon boob like Stanley McChrystal. Talk about Miller's "career dissipation light going into overdrive" [ from "Backdraft" ]. Yow.

and who can know what’s true or not based on what they write? I posted this article and a link in #2 as I’m trying to find info on whether Miller and Cohen are actually gone. There’s no real detail out there about the two. I assume they are gone but hard to find details.

Yeah Wiki still has Miller as Acting Undersecretary, but Shuck Fumer would rather promulgate an unconstitutional trial than pass Xiden’s picks. Or who know if Xiden is even awake enough to make picks...

EX-Secretary Miller?!?

NO way in hell. There’s people that still believe that the military is following orders from Miller (RW is not one of them).

“So, the President said they would need 10,000.
He was right, they were wrong, or, Miller ignored his words on purpose, and now is trying to shift the blame.”

That was exactly my takeaway. That part about the 10K sounds like something Trump would say. The statement was even spoken twice - Trump-style.

...ignoring pleas from the crowd to ‘do something’.

This single person from the crowd wants to know:

Who killed ASHLI???
