Gen. Mark Milley is voicing concern over China's apparent testing of hypersonic weapons, saying the development is "very close" to a "Sputnik moment."

“What we saw was a very significant event of a test of a hypersonic weapon system. And it is very concerning,” the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said during an interview this week with Bloomberg Television's “The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations," according to Bloomberg News.

“I don’t know if it’s quite a Sputnik moment, but I think it’s very close to that," Milley added. "It has all of our attention.”

But the U.S. military is way ahead in diversity training.

Figures Milley and FJB are in charge when America is made the laughingstock by a third rate country.

Anyone who’s ever been part of the Kill Chain realizes how significant it is. We are being outplayed by China. I don’t want to say its Chess and Checkers but it’s pretty damn close.

Oh, NOW, the “woke” General Mark Milley gets worried abut the Chinese.

Too bad he could not have been aroused from his state of lethargy when it would have made a difference. But then, he was never the right person for the job anyway.

All of the troops will waste time on Diversity training and CRT instead of working on real training for war because of him.

Surrender monkey Milley should find it even easier to surrender again this time. After first making a secret phone call to the Chinese military to assure them they have nothing to worry about from America of course.

What?? I can’t believe the Chinese General didn’t reciprocate and give Milley a heads up about this test.
What a POS he is.

... concern over China’s apparent testing of hypersonic weapons

The watchword being “apparent”. I’ve yet to see anything but artists drawings of the weapon. I think the whole thing is a made up fiction by the CCP or the CIA (but I repeat myself). Why? Perhaps as a phantom weapon to be used to threaten the U.S. if it criticizes the invasion of Taiwan by the CCP.
