Oh, please! Trump's "mental state declined"? "Mad king"?
What "coup"? WWWIII? Did you miss the part where Trump didn't start any wars during his presidency? If Milley did say what is being reported to the Chicoms, then that amounts to treason.
Seriously, you need to get a grip.
Where is the proof some book written by a Woodward? You guys fly off the handle because a book was written by a known liberal journalist?
Except for the general does not have such authority to do so, furthermore, he does not have the authority to make such a determination nor interpretation of a president's mental state, nor circumvent the president as has been reported.
This is not suppose to be some banana republic, where some general, officers, decide they just do not like what the elected civilian leader is doing.
I agree with a lot of what you said. Miley did the right thing though.
Sometimes the right thing, isn't the thing done the right way.
It's Milley's job to protect our democracy. Trump became a domestic enemy as his mental state declined following his election loss. Milley did his job by intervening and preventing a coup, or perhaps something even worse like WWIII.
This isn't Game of Thrones man. Nobody expects our military to follow the mad king.
Except this happened before the election on October 30 2020. Why post if you don't know what the facts are

A General telling the Communist Chinese that he would let them know of a pending attack, therefore putting US troops at risk to be killed by the Chinese. Sure,
" the right thing" Comrade
Democrats are funny; they'll justify months of riots, call a four-hour mini-riot an "insurrection," then defend a military leader who makes private agreements with an adversary.
If this were true, General Silly would be tried for treason for going over the presidents helmet.
Also, if the scenario were true, there would be official protocol procedures.
So I’m calling bogus on the whole thing.
Since you folks will call the Capitol flash mob "treason," we really can't expect you guys to even know what the term means.
If he did make such a call (and I'm skeptical of these hearsay accounts in general), then yes he did something wrong. Whether it was anything of consequence is another story, but he certainly did something wrong as he would have usurped the role of the elected, democratic government of the US and turned the constitutionally protected notion of civilian control of the military on its head. You don't have to like policy, but that doesn't give you the right to circumvent proper channels. And military folks should all the more know better about following proper chain of command.

Oh? Which pending attack occurred where this fantasy actually happened? Tell me why we should have gone to war?
