Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Mark Milley, has finally decided to give his valedictory address, bidding farewell to the country. It's about time… Naturally, for someone who has served in uniform for so long, we need to say, "Thank you for your service." … Now get lost!
That said, in recent years, Milley has become a greater threat than any General since Benedict Arnold. This is no exaggeration… Notwithstanding the incompetence and complete tactical and strategic ineptitude of the ignominious Afghanistan exit in August of 2021, his breaking of constitutional protocol and the chain of command in making a commitment to his Communist Chinese counterpart that he would provide advance notice of an attack was the greatest treachery by an American General since Benedict Arnold gave the British the secrets to the defenses of West Point, which guarded the Hudson River access point for British troops invading New York. While I'm not certain whether Milley's actions, as a matter of law, constitute treason, it sure looks like it to me.
Milley may have been a warrior at one point in his career, but his bloated appearance in his ostentatiously bemedalled uniform makes him resemble more of those foolish emperors of the pre-WWI Austro-Hungarian Empire or a tin-pot dictator who rose to power through a military coup. Milley, in anticipation of retirement over the past few years, has transitioned from whatever serious brand of merit he once had to a bloated lobbyist for his own post-military career—becoming a member of corporate boards, making a fortune by having his name on a letterhead, and pretending to pay attention in only a couple of meetings each year.
In doing so, Milley had to conform to his new, less-than-useful role in his post-GI life by denouncing his commander-in-chief by telegraphing to the Head of the Chinese Military that President Trump was mentally unstable. There is essentially no other way to define that action than anything less than a military coup. After accompanying Donald Trump across Lafayette Park to show solidarity with the President against riotous individuals attempting to burn down St. John's Church, he distanced himself from that action, effectively using all available media outlets to convey that the devil made him do it (namely Donald Trump).
Milley, a man who poses as a patriotic, Pattonesque, and serious individual, did something else that, while seemingly inconsistent with the persona he's tried to create, really isn't. The buffoonish Chairman of the Joint Chiefs allowed "wokeism" to be introduced into the curriculum of our Service Academies and training materials throughout the military at large.
Milley, in blowhard fashion, stated in his farewell address:
“We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or to a tyrant or dictator, and we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator,” Milley said. “We don’t take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America, and we’re willing to die to protect it.”
“Every soldier, sailor, airman, Marine, guardian and Coast Guardsman, each of us commits our very life to protect and defend that document, regardless of personal price.”
Sure, General Blowheart… I thought I once read in the Constitution that the military subordinates itself to civilian leadership, namely, the President of the United States.
This opened the door and invited into our American House, to hate and destroy American literature and practices, whose declared goals are the destruction of the American Constitutional Republic. Somehow, that does not align with the stated philosophy of a man who claims to have dedicated his career to protecting America from all enemies, "foreign and domestic."
Milley, by his actions in providing aid and comfort to the Communist Chinese in promising them advance notice of any attack, along with allowing the Trojan horse of “wokeism” to invade and destroy our Service academies and places of military training, has disgraced the uniform.
Enjoy your retirement, General; we won't miss you… At least those of us who really believe in the Constitution.
