Gen. Milley tells Woodward that Trump is "fascist to the core"

[Mac1958]

Milley is just one of many high-level officials who worked with Trump and are trying to warn us.

That has never happened with a President in the history of this country. Ever. Not even close.

Clearly we're not listening, he's probably going to win, so we deserve what we get.

You just described the Democratic Party.

That's just pure, absolute fantasy on your part. That has never happened in the Democratic Party.

There is something seriously wrong with you. I can't help you.

Holy crap.

 

[daveman]

Like I said earlier, Trump hates the military and so does MAGA.

Repeating bullshit doesn't make it any more true.

Holy crap.

Nobody wants your "help"

That's what you can't grasp

Milley doesn't understand the relationship between the CIC and military generals.

Milley doesn't understand the relationship between the CIC and military generals.

He understands it, but as a traitor he doesn't care.

 

[Mac1958]

That's a strange way of describing your embarrassing cultism, but okay.

Look at post 141. Detached from reality. Literally.

Are they just goofing around? Or are they serious?

It just gets more and more disturbing. They're so miserable that they want to bring everything crashing down, and they damn well may do it.

Milley doesn't understand the relationship between the CIC and military generals.

General Milley doesn't, but you do.

Incredible.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

General Milley doesn't, but you do.

Incredible.

Just shut up

 

[Rambunctious]

His own words, from his own campaign speeches, advocate fascist ideas, and I'm not talking about economics, although Trump loved nothing more than butting into the business practices of private corporations and trying to influence them to bend to his will. And his hatred of the military always put honorable men like Gen. Milley on the outs, and made our military very unpopular with MAGA.

Honorable institutions fall to fascism. Trump checks all the boxes.




Retired Gen. Mark A. Milley warned that former president Donald Trump is a “fascist to the core” and “the most dangerous person to this country” in new comments voicing his mounting alarm at the prospect of the Republican nominee’s election to another term, according to a forthcoming book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward.

Milley, 66, served for more than a year as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump before continuing in the role under President Joe Biden.

Upon stepping down in September 2023 after more than 40 years in the military, Milley laid out his apparent concerns about Trump in a pointed retirement speech. “We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, to a tyrant or dictator or wannabe dictator,” he said.

Woodward’s new book, “War,” due out Tuesday, follows Milley in the years after the Trump administration as he wrestles with escalating fears over the president he once served.

Milley was a source for Woodward’s 2021 book, “Peril,” sharing his worries about Trump’s mental stability and national security decisions, according to excerpts of his new book. Upon seeing Woodward again at a reception in March 2023, he told the author that his concerns had grown more dire.

“I glimpsed it when I talked to you back — for ‘Peril,’ but I now know it. I now know it,” he said.

“No one has ever been as dangerous to this country as Donald Trump,” the general told Woodward. “Now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is the most dangerous person to this country.”

By the following year, Milley was receiving a “nonstop barrage of death threats” that he attributed to Trump’s political rhetoric and his fixation on retribution for his perceived enemies, Woodward writes.

After retiring, Milley installed bulletproof glass and blast-proof curtains at his home.

He also fears being recalled to uniform to be court-martialed “for disloyalty,” should Trump win against Vice President Kamala Harris in November, Woodward writes.

“He is a walking, talking advertisement of what he’s going to try to do,” Milley warned former colleagues, according to the book, in reference to a 2020 Oval Office meeting with Milley and former defense secretary, Mark T. Esper, in which Trump threatened to court-martial two military officers, Stanley McChrystal and William H. McRaven, who had been critical of the president after retiring.

Criticisms of Gen. Mark A. Milley

General Mark A. Milley has faced various criticisms during and after his tenure as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Here are some notable points of contention:

1. Controversial Actions During Protests: One of the most significant criticisms arose from his involvement in the June 1, 2020, protests following the death of George Floyd. Milley, in combat uniform, accompanied President Trump on a walk to St. John's Episcopal Church after federal officers used tear gas to disperse protesters. This action was perceived by many as a politicization of the military and drew backlash from both military personnel and the public, who felt it undermined the military's apolitical stance.

2. Comments on Trump: Milley has been vocal about his views on former President Trump, describing him as a "fascist to the core" and the "most dangerous person to this country" in a book by journalist Bob Woodward. These statements have sparked controversy, particularly among Trump supporters, who have labeled Milley as a "woke train-wreck" and criticized him for his outspoken opinions on a former president.

3. Concerns Over Military Neutrality: Critics have raised concerns about Milley's comments and actions potentially compromising the military's traditional role as a non-partisan entity. His public criticisms of Trump and the circumstances surrounding the protests have led some to question whether he maintained the necessary neutrality expected of a military leader.

4. Fear of Retaliation: Reports have indicated that Milley feared being court-martialed or recalled to active duty by Trump if he were to regain power, reflecting the tense relationship between the military leadership and the former president. This situation has raised questions about the independence of military leadership in the face of political pressures.

In summary, Gen. Milley has faced significant scrutiny for his actions during civil unrest, his outspoken criticisms of Trump, and concerns regarding the military's apolitical nature. These criticisms highlight the complex dynamics between military leadership and political authority in contemporary America.

In a building shaped like a star,
The Pentagon kept things bizarre.
Each year they'd try, but oh, what a mess,
With audits that brought them no success.

They counted their tanks and their planes with glee,
But lost a few dollars—whoops! Where'd they flee?
“Just a rounding error,” they’d casually say,
As billions went missing and vanished away.

The accountants would scratch their heads in dismay,
“Is that a budget or just a buffet?”
With paper and pencils, they'd toil through the night,
But numbers would dance like they’re taking a flight!

So here’s to the Pentagon, masters of slip,
In a world of finance, they sure take a trip.
While others balance books with precision and care, They’re lost in a maze—how’d that dollar get where?

So let’s raise a toast to their quirky old fate,
In the world of audits, they’re truly first-rate!
With laughter and chaos, they’ll surely persist,
In a game of “Where’s Waldo?” no one can resist!

==>Those generals should mind Pentagon's business. They failed for many many years! lol.

Yes

Link?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The question is whether it was a pre-existing condition.

Who were these people before Escalator Day?

Birthers

Teabaggers

John Birch Society

They have gone by many names

Yes.

They watched a fat orange idiot ascend to the highest station possible by blatantly lying over and over and over.

So they do it too.

"What are you going to do about it?"

Were not talking about high level thought, here. It's lizard brain compulsion. A regression to a toddler-like state.

He publicly apologized for allowing himself to be browbeaten by the Commander in Chief and accompanying him as he strolled along like some third world strongman.

He knows he was wrong, as are most decisions supporting Trump.

Such admittance of error is seen as weakness, by the lizard brain cult.

Apparently you don't. Milley is a traitor. Funny how you missed that.

Operation Warp Speed, Milley court martial, Operation Warp Speed, Milley court martial...
Then again, it's a Woodward book, so the whole thing is probably made up.

I pay attention to both. And I see disparity between words and actions. You're going to vote for JOY regardless of Harris' actions.
