I’m sure that General Milley fancies himself to be akin to the Lt-General George Miller character in the movie “In the Loop” or General Eisenhower in history. But, in reality, he’s more like Major-General Stanley of “Pirates of Penzance”.
I am the very model post-modern 4-star General
I’ve information political, racial, and genderal,
I can quote our defeat from every fight historical
From Saigon to Kabul in order categorical;
I’m very well acquainted with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, especially the racially equitable,
Because Black Lives Matter, and whites simply deplorable.
I’m very well informed in all things Islamical,
But, unlike myself, I find that they are not very comical.
I know our mythic history before the fathers of our founding;
that ere the white man came it was rather pleasant sounding.
I know that 1619 marks the beginning of our history,
and that ours is a story of wretched racist misery.
I know that gays and women are historically oppressed,
And that an Army’s function is to see that is addressed.
In short, in matters political, racial, and genderal,
I am the very model post-modern 4-star General.
I understand the plight of those who are genderally confused;
I understand that little people are naturally bemused.
I understand our biggest threat consists of white rage,
And it’s correct politically to say so at this stage.
In short, in matters political, racial, and genderal,
I am the very model post-modern 4-star General.
In fact, when I know what is meant by “trixic” and “Achillean”,
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a Javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I’m more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by “commissariat”
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I’ve a smattering of elemental strategy
You’ll say a better 4-star General has never sat a gee.
For my military knowledge, though I’m plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters political, racial, and genderal,
I am the very model post-modern 4-star General.

Very well done!!
