The nation's top general said Thursday he was wrong for taking part in President Donald Trump's controversial church photo op last week.

"I should not have been there," Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said in an address during a National Defense University commencement ceremony. "My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics."

Trump’s walk across the plaza to the church really got under the left’s skin.

Do we need pussies like that in charge of our military? He needs to go, crawl in a hole and suck his thumb.


They’re not pussies. The military brass are playing for Team Swamp.

Nothing about Jesus Christ in that statement.

Nor in the photo op.

Grenell said it on Tucker: It’s The Swamp vs. America. It’s that simple. The left’s march through our institutions is nearly complete. Only POTUS blocks them from complete control.

I think we’re watching a coup in progress.

What is WRONG with these people? Do they not see the Marxists? Or are they in on it? -the plot to destroy the United States of America?

Wow! Tough General can’t stand the heat of a photo op!

I have NO respect for the military leadership!

No wonder we have not won a war since WW2.

It wasn’t a photo-op. Trump was demonstrating his commitment to law and order and the protection of freedom...at a church that had been set on fire by leftists.

Holding up the Bible was basically showing support for the law, not a religious statement. Our society is based on the Judeo-Christian concept of law, which is essentially codified natural law as implicit in Creation but revealed to Moses.

Guess the good general...who should be removed from his post immediately...isn’t really big on the law. But somebody who’s participating in a coup usually isn’t.

President Trump needs to start “defunding” the military. I’m sure Democrats will be happy to help. Start cancelling carriers and major weapon systems for the Army & Air Force. That will get the attention of the coupist military brass.

Wow, what an asshole.

It’s good to know who your friends are, even better to know who your back stabbing friends are.

Trump, FIRE this guy.

This General’s presence was appropriate due to the fact that the military was involved in securing the area, and of DC generally speaking too.

Washington DC voted 95% for Hillary..... Do NOT have ANYONE in your administration or staff that is from these extremely blue areas. Their loyalties are with the swamp.

Good grief....

Fatty Milly mentioned the Constitution. Apparently he’s forgotten his oath of office to “to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me.”

Domestic TERRORISTS ripping this country apart and he has openly sided with them. Not a damn thing “peaceful” about trying to burn down the country. He must be fired today. He refuses to protect the country and has committed insubordination against his superior, who happens to be the President of the United States.

“ Military command continuing to Mutiny.”

“Also Biden says he has assurances from Military if Trump does not step aside after election.”

If Biden asked for such assurances, he has committed treason.

DC needs to be shut down. It is no longer accountable to the voters. The agencies and the Pentagon have too much money, too much unaccountable power with too many civil servants and too many leftover political appointments.

SHUT THE CANCER DOWN!

Sounds like Obama and his ilk have made sure that the command structure of all national agencies (including military, judicial, and security) are well infiltrated. Add to it takeover of most of press and communication, universities, and bending of CEO’s in major companies. Few things still stand in the way: gun control and local police and sheriffs, along with about half (or less) of the elected officials. Neutralizing local law enforcement is what the past couple of week have been about.

what a disgrace. If he thought being in the photo was illegal or against military code, he should have refused.
Last I read the military is controlled by the elected civilian Commander in Chief, not vica Versa.
The only *political* act here is the General openly undermining the President. He should be terminated immediately.
