Brendan Morrow, Staff Writer Mon, June 28, 2021, 7:26 AM Mark A. Milley and Donald Trump Mark A. Milley and Donald Trump BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images Former President Donald Trump and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley reportedly found themselves in a heated shouting match in the Situation Room last year.
The account comes via reporter Michael Bender's new book Frankly, We Did Win This Election, as revealed Monday by Axios. According to Axios, the book describes how Milley "repeatedly blew up" at Trump over how racial justice protests should be handled in the summer of 2020, with Trump looking to invoke the Insurrection Act.
A passage from the book describes how during a meeting in the Situation Room, Trump reportedly "exaggerated claims about the violence and alarmed officials," announcing he "put Milley 'in charge.'" But Milley reportedly "confronted Trump about his role," telling him he "was an adviser, and not in command," at which point Trump "had enough."
"I said you're in f---ing charge!" Trump reportedly shouted at Milley, prompting Milley to yell back, "Well, I'm not in charge!" Trump reportedly then told him, "You can't f---ing talk to me like that!" Milley reportedly said to others, "Goddamnit. There's a room full of lawyers here. Will someone inform him of my legal responsibilities?"

Agree but the average Dem believes this crap. So you have to keep track of the BS they are feed there own side.
E-5’s and O-3’s are the operational part of the military.
I don't think it was an order that Milley could carry out. Doesn't the Posse Comitatus Act prevent the military from enforcing the law within the U.S.?
It was before my time, but I believe the military was called up to quell riots in the 60s, no? WHy was that different?
Has he been programmed or brainwashed by China or something?
No. Example.
In a dramatic and unprecedented move, President Dwight Eisenhower on this day sent federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas, to ensure the racial integration of Central High School. The confrontation over the integration of the Little Rock schools was one of the most dramatic events in the history of the civil rights movement.
Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus and local authorities had resisted integration in the face of a court order to implement the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision on May 17, 1954. Mobs had prevented the enrollment of nine African-American students (the “Little Rock Nine”) on September 23, 1957, as local authorities failed to maintain public order.
The reason liberals love war is it produces has the highest return on dead patriots and real men.
This
traitor
should have been dismissed of his command
on the spot
and court martialed.
Then sent to a fed max sec pen//
EXACTLY.
They all act like the
Constitution
The Bill of Rights
And the U.C.M.J.
Are suggestions instead of
The Law of the Land.
But the media told everyone that Trump surrounded himself with only “yes” people. Staff who would not disagree or argue with the president.
He, in fact, did take advise from everyone and then made decisions based on what he thought best. And he had an uncanny way of making the right one.
Yep, the O-3s are on the ground in an ODA.
“...I love how these generals objected to the use of troops to quell violence on our streets...”
These Pentagon Peckerheads would quell any patriotic uprisings in a heartbeat if a democrat told them to.
Everything was different. LBJ was approved by the establishment. America was much less divided. Nixon spoke about "the silent majority" and it was real. We still had a Constitution then.
Miley promotes CRT
Critical race theory is//
Sedition.
Period.
It posits our
Constitutional Republic Government
is systemically racist
that must be overcome
( overcome is weasel for overthrow)
It is nothing short of an attempt to overthrow our government.
so...it was ok because... politics?
so much for the rule of law.
Funny how the left sees burning buildings to the ground and looting stores as “Exaggerated” yet those same leftists are still whining about a bunch of dudes wearing furs on their heads on Jan 6th as OMG OMG INSURRECTION..but hey I guess it all depends on who those people vote for, wearing maga hats, evil, burning buildings to the ground, all good if you vote commie
Trump should have found a reason to fire him and every other Obama 3 and 4 star General and Admiral.
Until I realized that today’s republican party is the complicit party, not just the stupid party, I wondered why they did not proclaim loud and often that all major injustices of the past done to Black people were done under democrat government.
Libertarian Limbaugh never devoted one minute of air time to this issue.
Just another sap who’ll fall for anything.
That is the stuff of insubordination.
He needs to be relieved of all that pressure.
Yep! Want to send 100,000 of us to civilize Afghanistan? Gen Milley is all over it!
Want to stop violent protests burning US buildings? He’s too morally pure.
