In terms of bad decisions, I would rank the Milley appointment only a few notches under Trump’s disastrous decision to empower Anthony Fauci with full authority over our nation’s domestic response to the ChiCom Virus pandemic. Fauci was a key factor in Trump’s 2020 loss, combined with the Demos’ bulk-mail ballot fraud.
Ahead of the 2016 presidential election, Trump enjoyed significant military support. But after his “personality disputes” with Gen. Mattis and particularly with his former White House chief of staff, Gen. John Kelly, who served the president with steadfast loyalty, Trump’s military support waned. That decline was even more pronounced among younger military personnel, who are most susceptible to Leftmedia infusion of anti-Trump messaging.
The appointment of Milley, a Massachusetts blue-stater educated at Princeton and Columbia, further eroded that support. Recall that Milley and most of the senior flag officers today, were elevated through the ranks under Barack Obama and Joe Biden — which is precisely why Biden retained Milley.
Hi. I’m a conservative. We love and support the military… until they don’t toe the line… then they should be fired and purged from the military… waaaahhh I’m upset.
We don't need resentment on the battlefield and looking at skin color.. we need every soldier to protect one another on the battlefield. This CRT will draw a racial line on the battlefield that should not be there.
I’m certain that Lloyd Austin and Biden are very happy with their ultra liberal General. Why on earth would he resign when he supports their radical left agenda 100%?
It all goes back to Trump being terrible at personnel decisions. He never found the right people to implement his policies, including Milley. Also, if you want to argue that it isn’t Trump’s fault and that the system is just corrupt beyond repair, that’s plausible as well.

No, sorry, Miley is Trump’s fault. Milley is, and has always been, a politician in a uniform. Among Trump’s bigger weaknesses was his inability to understand what motivates politicians and how they operate.
