Tucker Carlson: The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff should be fired
Fox News ^ | 7/15/2021 | Tucker Carlson

Posted on 07/16/2021 5:14:04 AM PDT by McGruff

Just before last November's presidential election, two former Army officers wrote an open letter to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a man called Mark Milley. The letter was published on a left-wing blog called "Defense One." Within minutes it was all over the Internet. The authors of the letter had a direct order for Mark Milley, who strictly speaking did not report to them.

"If Donald Trump refuses to leave office," the letter began, "the United States military must remove him by force, and you must give that order." You must remove the president by force.

That was a little shocking. What country is this? Even the usual power-mad partisans in the national news media began to wonder if that was a good idea

The Pentagon had to go on the record against it too. The rest of us could keep civilian control of our government. What a relief. Within days, the story receded, another weird footnote to a weird four years. But if you thought about it for a second, you had to wonder: where did that idea even come from? Did two former military officers talk like that or think like that, and do a lot of them have views like that? Do a lot of them have these views?

We pushed the thought from our minds. We shouldn’t have. Now we know that Mark Milley himself is the sort of person who considers military coups entirely within the realm of possibility.

Remember Chuck U Schumer’s warning? “Six ways from Sunday of getting back at you.”
Prayers up for Tucker.

I volunteer to be on the firing squad of this obviously poorly educated and Constitution illiterate POS.

It’s what he deserves, not just being fired. He needs to be fired on. Freakin’ traitor he is, no doubt.

I agree with Tucker's characterization of the current Chief of the Joint Staff —”GEN Milley is a PIG and is STUPID”!!

Remember when President Trump was briefed by the DOD in April 2017 and asked the dog and pony briefers when we were going to leave Afghanistan after 17 years of continuous lack of victory? Apparently pissed the generals, flag officers, assistant Secretaries, and GS 18s to no living end. Having dumbass generals and admirals and stupid politicians doing treason is not a new phenomenon!

Milley is a Deep State menace

Now the new spin is that Pres.Trump was a fan of Hitler, and was planning a Reichstag-fire-style coup to stay in power ... so the military had to act

Another justification for the Deep State’s pre-planned “riot” at the Capitol ... obviously the Deep State plotters and their Big Media pals are worried that Trump’s (and his supporters’) reputations haven’t been destroyed like they thought their bogus “insurrection” would do

LT Michael Leroy Byrd, the CapStasi who murdered Ashli Babbit, is on Chuck Schumer's personal detail.

Schumer and Pelosi are the bosses of the CapStasi.

Trump had made a deal with the Taliban to end the fighting and bring our troops home. The DOD under Milley ignored that directive and instead, droned the Taliban which killed the deal. He failed to follow the order of the Commander in Chief and instead, did the opposite. Subordination. Then after that, talked of removing Trump. Sedition.

The next repub president, hopefully we’ll have another, needs to do like obama did. Fire the generals and promote some Patriots to general and task them with cleaning up the ranks and removing all commiefags. Ditching CRT in favor of civics.

The revolution wont be televised. Neither will the cover coup. If they are clever enough, the only people to report on it will not be heros in their own time
