Showing Original Post only (View all)General Milley [View all]
Anyone asking for General Milley to resign is basically saying that it's OK to lose our democratic government.
Donald Trump gutted the defense department and put his cronies in power as acting this and acting that. Trump was trying to do a coup and General Milley was a guard rail for our democracy.
General Milley is a hero, Vindman is an asshole, he learned nothing about the former administration.
Nuff said.
By the bye, every head of every department of our military was worried that Trump was insane, it wasn't just Milley.

Both Milley and Vindman swore to uphold the Constitution, not a lunatic president.

Vindman is wrong on this, but he will never be forgotten as long as real history is preserved.
