Milley has a troubling, years-long record of poor military judgment and a tendency to subvert his civilian leaders.
In November 2020, according to an investigation by Axios, Trump signed a directive to complete the military withdrawal from Afghanistan by 15 January 2021, five days before the end of his term as president. Milley was “appalled” at the idea of a full withdrawal, according to Axios, and worked behind the scenes to derail the effort. Trump was forced to revise the planned withdrawal deadline to 1 May 2021.
When Trump’s national security adviser, Robert O’Brien, said that the president was going to reduce the troop levels from 4,500 to 2,500 before leaving office, Milley publicly challenged the words of the president’s senior adviser...
Moreover, had Milley continued the process of withdrawal that Trump committed to completing by 1 May, the US would almost certainly have been able to finish the mission on time and in relative order – and 13 US service members might still be alive.
The US is not a military junta; it is a republic led by elected civilian leaders, and it cannot allow the creation of any precedent, large or small, of military insubordination.
In 1951, after Gen Douglas MacArthur repeatedly publicly clashed with President Harry Truman’s direction of the Korean war, Truman fired MacArthur.
Similarly, in 2010, after a Rolling Stone article depicted Gen Stanley McChrystal and his staff badmouthing President Barack Obama and undermining his command of the war in Afghanistan, Obama summoned McChrystal to Washington and accepted his resignation.
Milley cannot continue serving as the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. For the good of the nation, Biden must relieve him of duty.

He can and he has and nothing will be done about it.
oops
Milley CAN undermine civilian authority as long as there are no consequences.
Don't believe me?
Just watch.
You are correct.
What should happen is he goes to trial for treason and when convicted he is executed. He would do the country a great service by providing an example of what happens to traitors that undermine the constitution, the people and the nation.
LOL!
There will be nothing done. Just like the election fraud, the media will tell Americans it’s ok, and drop it from the news cycle. How about the fake Russian collusion! No, the Rubicon has been crossed, there is no going back to a Republic now.
Well, if he can get away with breaking the chain of civilian command he can get away with ordering American troops to fire on American citizens.
Certainly he, and SecDef Austin too, will get away with it so long as Biden’s handlers are in charge.
What if the Senate had found irregularities in the election and with found a way to delay the counting of the electoral votes or just threw the election of the president to the House? Would General Milley have attempted a coup to install with Slow Joe or perhaps himself as the leader?
The scenario is set. Milley will be questioned under oath and being devoid of honor and dignity will lie. Of course the Biden cabal has actual recordings and transcripts of exactly what he said to the Chinese and what he did. The commissars will remind him that, like Fauci who also lied under oath, Milley will do exactly what they want or the affair will be turned over to the Biden DOJ for prosecution. Milley is a disgrace to the uniform, on the hook and even more dangerous to the American people.
When there’s lots going on, it’s easy to miss ‘em! LOL
We cannot allow any general to make up his own mind on which laws and presidential orders he feels like obeying.
I satirized him yesterday but I think he really does believe
“I will decide when to talk with my Chinese friends about battle plans to reveal. We will use nukes when I say we use nukes.”
This is absolutely wrong that we let the Dem traitors get away with this.
Well, it would take a period of extra-Constitutional rule to basically shoot, jail or force out of the country most of the country's current business and political elite. Someone like Sulla who came in, cleaned house, and resigned. The problem is that once the precedent of non-republican government has been set by both sides, it's very difficult to restore a republic that would last.
Yes.
Somebody ask him why he had orders set up for new drapes, carpeting and accessories for the Oval Office. Just in case.
I wonder why he felt a need to warn China of an attack that Trump might order? Maybe he was worried that Trump would find out that the virus release actually was an intentional bio weapons attack?
Maybe he knew all along (as a Chinese agent) that China was involved in election fraud?
Both of these acts would justify an attack don’t you think?
Woke Miley is running the world. Just another day in paradise.
There are some who seem to think that BECAUSE he and others haven’t denied that he had those phone conversations with CCP (his counterpart - Joke!) that what he did was perfectly ok. If I walk out of Macy’s with a coat I didn’t buy, does that mean it’s ok? No consequences?
Exactly! A paradigm shift in the way our nation works. The Deep State (for lack of a better term) exposed themselves during Trumps term. It is clear government is no longer accountable to the people. The routine now is to gaslight people into thinking the Command and Control agenda is their idea and it’s in their best interest.
Treason. Milley needs to be court martialed.
If a Rogue military paranoid worked with Russia BEHIND BIDES'S BACK LIBERAL PRESS TOADIES WOULD UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS TREASON...
What Constitution?
The one that says Obama and Harris are ineligible?
