General Milley Commits Treason

[@494950,sunsporter1649] Thanks!

[@998562,SinlessOnslaught] He did it when Trump was president. But it doesn't matter. Treason is treason

[@112526,carpediem] Did what

[@6757,questionWeaver] “Milley went so far as to pledge he would alert his counterpart in the event of a U.S. attack, stressing the rapport they’d established through a backchannel. ‘General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise,’” the book says. Milley did not relay the conversation to then-President Donald Trump

[@112526,carpediem] i get it ... it is very sad

[@6757,questionWeaver] criminal. He's currently Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

[@112526,carpediem] Bro this is like really foundational stuff about how our (pretty sure you're American) country works. The military does not work for the President. Honestly how do you not know this??

[@19840,MalteseFalconPunch] jeesh... No they work for you. The president knits socks and scarves and is not the Commander in Chief.

[i]Although the office of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is considered very important and highly prestigious, neither the chairman, the vice chairman, nor the Joint Chiefs of Staff as a body has any command authority over combatant forces. The Goldwater–Nichols Act places the operational chain of command from the president to the secretary of defense directly to the commanders of the unified combatant commands[/i]

[@112526,carpediem] No, they don't work for me either.

[@112526,carpediem] 🤪🤪🤪

[@100938,geoam1] that makes perfect sense.
