“Trump and his inner circle (were the select group from whom Milley was keeping secrets.)”

If what you say is true then Milley was disobeying Trump orders - unless Trump ordered Milley to keep important secrets from him (Trump). That last part seems unlikely.

That leads me to conclude Milley did not meet the DD test for subordinate conduct: “Right or wrong, the president is entitled to generals and admirals who obey the orders of the commander in chief.”

Which brings us back to your original comment, posted oh so long ago. Orders are to be obeyed, unless they are illegal and then must be disobeyed. If Milley disobeyed orders then was it because he believed them to be illegal and felt duty bound to disobey them? And if that is the case then to you support Milley's decision.

That leads me to conclude Milley did not meet the DD test for subordinate conduct: “Right or wrong, the president is entitled to generals and admirals who obey the orders of the commander in chief.

Unless, of course, Milley met the JD criteria for disobeying orders. Is that the case?
