The Deadly Untrustworthiness of General Mark Milley: Once, he was a soldier. Now, though, Milley has become a bureaucrat in uniform, trading national security for leftist policies

General Mark Milley, who is Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has forgotten that he was a soldier. Now, he’s only a leftist bureaucrat in uniform. Milley’s basic mode of operation is ingratiating himself to a political class that values the servile.

What makes Milley dangerous is his willingness to lie unhesitatingly, particularly in public. He is the highest-ranking military officer in the nation, and this matters. Technically the Secretary of Defense is a civilian post even though the Secretary may have a military background. The President and Congress provide civilian oversight but can only do so when presented with truthful, accurate information.

In June 2021, Tucker Carlson made some very strong remarks about Milley’s attempts to make teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the military seem benign. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Milley compared CRT to reading Marx and Mao, as if it’s just part of educating the troops about different ideologies. However, our military is not urging the adoption of Marxism. (At least not yet!) What Milley is doing is cooperating with the Democrat left to indoctrinate the troops in blatant racism.

If CRT flourishes, it will permanently impair race relations and ultimately lead to civil instability. The theory argues as a baseline that unequal outcomes through the proof of statistical disparity in education, employment, and incarceration rates are entirely based on structural racism. The theory does not consider non-white success in Asian and East Asian communities (e.g., people from China, Vietnam, India, etc.) It completely ignores individual merit and hard work. In fact, CRT views merit, which made most hard-working newcomers to our country successful, practically irrelevant, even undesirable.

A thoroughly useless waste of a uniform.

I think the first time I saw this guy on my t.v., was right after the Left installed Biden. He was wearing his uniform; and, I swear, he was also wearing pink lipstick.

I was outraged; but, I am an older, white woman, so my outrage doesn't count.

[BatGuano]

Generals, Milley and Mattus, two reasons to not trust our own military!

Thank Barack for the degrading of our military. He deserves to be hanged for many things but especially for his and Hillary’s screwing up our Armed Forces!
