Milley, in a rare moment of mental acuity, commented, \u201cThat\u201ds pretty weak, actually. Not sure \u200bwhat to make of \u200dthat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then asked attendees from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/west-point-sued-director-admissions-brags-happens-white-applicants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">West Point<\/a> to do the\u2064 same. \u201cThat was even weaker,\u201d was all\u2063 Milley\u200b could say.<\/p>\n<p>Even if Milley was acting semi-facetious in his reaction to the lame \u200bresponse from \u2062the crowd, the moment was a prime example of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/poetic-justice-south-carolina-man-drops-dead-burying-girlfriend-strangled\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poetic justice<\/a>. \u2062Milley\u2019s career was weak, at best. At worst, he was even weaker \u201cthan the stuffed men\u201d of Eliot\u2019s poem.<\/p>\n<p>To put it bluntly: Milley\u2019s career has been filled with failures.<\/p>\n<p>Almost two years\u2062 ago to the day, Milley told Congress that he knew former \u2063President Donald Trump wasn\u2019t planning to attack China and that was why he called his Chinese counterpart, General Li Zuocheng of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/senators-probing-biden-admin-discovery-collaboration-china-controlled-entity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">People\u2019s\u2062 Liberation Army<\/a>,\u200c as \u200dreported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/politics\/watch-gen-milley-explains-his-calls-with-china-over-concerns-about-president-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PBS\u200b News Hour<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to the\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/09\/29\/milley-admits-he-would-tell-china-if-us-launched-an-attack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a>, \u200bMilley in \u2062his testimony to the \u2063House Armed Services Committee, told Li, \u201c[H]ell, I\u2019ll call you. But we\u2019re not going to attack you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maybe Milley and this fellow stuffed suits decided in an ill-gotten\u2064 way that they needed to warn China about an unplanned non-attack because \u2014 why? The move obviously jeopardized any military\u200d plan or leverage the Trump administration may have had concerning China.<\/p>\n<p>Just as importantly, it\u2019s clear <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/gen-milley-retires-battalion-will-tasked-trawling-social-media-one-type-post\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Milley<\/a> \u2062was going to \u200cwarn the\u2063 Chinese if America was preparing an attack. \u200bIsn\u2019t that, \u200bquite literally, \u200btreason?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt no time was I attempting to change \u200bor influence the process, usurp authority, or insert \u2064myself in the chain of command, but\u200d I am expected, I \u2062am required, to give my advice\u2062 and ensure that the\u200d president is fully informed,\u201d Milley \u200bsaid, according to \u200dPBS.<\/p>\n<p>For \u2064his part,\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-first-co-defendant-trump-georgia-election-interference-case-pleads-guilty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a>, who was \u200dpresident at the \u2062time Milley called China, said Milley \u201cnever told me about \u2062calls\u2064 being made to China.\u201d \u2062He went on to accuse\u2062 Milley of\u200d treason and called the highest-ranking\u2062 man in the U.S. military \u201ca nutjob.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Milley didn\u2019t tell Trump about his calls to Li, he was most definitely usurping Trump\u2019s authority. Why? To please his woke hollow deep state friends like\u200d then-Defense Chief Mark Esper, who Milley claimed \u200bgave Milley the greenlight to make the\u2062 calls, according to PBS.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing worse than a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/disgraced-general-mark-milley-ends-career-with-awkward-pleading-for-applause-that-was-weak\/\" title=\"Disgraced General Mark Milley's Career Ends with Awkward Plea for Applause: 'Pathetic'\">brown-nosing zombie hollow man<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s just one example among many. The whole world was watching when Milley oversaw the botched and \u200btragic U.S.\u200d withdrawal from \u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-admin-sent-2-35-billion-taliban-since-disastrous-afghanistan-withdraw\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Afghanistan<\/a>.

How can \u200bthat even be remotely construed as a\u200d success, logistic or otherwise?<\/p>\n<p>The ill-conceived\u2064 withdrawal also abandoned 78,000 Afghan\u2064 allies to the\u2064 mercy of the Taliban, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/investigations\/us-left-78000-afghan-allies-ngo-report-rcna18119\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBC News<\/a>. In case you were\u2064 unaware,\u200b the Taliban are not known for their mercy but\u2062 rather for a \u2062lack thereof.<\/p>\n<p>If the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan is not another feather of failure \u2062in Milley\u2019s hollow hat, then the term \u201cfailure\u201d no longer holds any meaning.<\/p>\n<p>What about \u200bMilley\u2019s pathetic \u201cWhite \u200crage\u201d defense for teaching critical race \u2062theory in the military? Milley had \u200cthe hollow cajones to claim he \u200cfound \u200cit \u201cpersonally offensive that we are accusing\u2062 the United \u200bStates military, our general officers [\u2026] of being woke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reading Lenin and Marx, as Milley claimed he had, might\u2064 not make him a card-carrying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/revolutionary-communists-target-jason-aldean-concert-arent-tough-police-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">communist<\/a>, but it \u200dsure looks to have made him woke \u2014 the American version from the same foul mother.<\/p>\n<p>In one more example of\u2063 an epic failure, \u2064Milley, after accompanying then-President Trump to historic St. John\u2019s Church which had been vandalized by, well, vandals, apologized for doing so in a commencement address to graduating officers\u200c from \u2064National Defense University, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice\/2020\/06\/11\/875019346\/gen-mark-milley-says-accompanying-trump-to-church-photo-op-was-a-mistake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NPR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe who \u2063wear the cloth of our nation come from the people of our nation, and \u2062we must hold dear the principle of an apolitical military that is so deeply rooted in the\u2062 very essence of our republic,\u201d Milley \u200dsaid. \u201cAnd this is not easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What a joke. \u200cAnyone can see that Milley was hyperpolitical \u2063in his role \u200das <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/gop-senator-corners-bidens-joint-chiefs-chairman-pick-piercing-white-officers-question\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff<\/a>.

It&#8217;s a betrayal of their duty to protect and defend the United\u200d States,\u200c and a \u200bclear example\u200c of \u200btheir weak\u200c character and lack of moral compass.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Milley&#8217;s handling of \u2064the withdrawal from Afghanistan was \u2064nothing short \u2063of disastrous. \u2062He was one \u200cof the key architects of the plan, and it was executed\u200d in such a haphazard manner \u2063that it resulted in the deaths of 13 \u2062US service members and \u200dleft countless Americans and \u200cAfghan allies stranded and at the mercy of the Taliban. It was a humiliating defeat for the \u200cUnited States and a betrayal of those who served and sacrificed \u200cin Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>But perhaps the most damning\u2064 evidence of Milley&#8217;s incompetence and lack\u2064 of credibility comes from his own words. In the recently\u2063 released book, &#8220;Peril,&#8221; by Bob Woodward and \u200bRobert Costa, Milley is quoted as saying \u2063that\u2063 he \u200bwould \u200ctake \u200dsteps to prevent President Trump \u2062from launching a nuclear strike. Regardless of one&#8217;s opinion of\u2064 Trump, this is a blatant \u2064disregard for the chain of command and the Constitution.\u2062 It undermines the very foundations of our democracy and shows\u200b a dangerous willingness to undermine the authority of the elected President.<\/p>\n<p>Milley may have retired from \u2063his\u200b position as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, \u2063but he should not be allowed to quietly fade into obscurity. He should be held accountable for his actions and \u2063face the \u2064consequences of his failures. The American people deserve leaders who are competent, moral, and loyal to \u2062the \u200dprinciples and values \u200bof our\u2063 country. Milley has proven himself \u2064to be none of those things.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, \u2064poetic\u2064 justice has a \u2064funny way of catching up to those who think \u200dthey can act\u200c with impunity. Milley may have escaped immediate \u200dconsequences \u200bfor\u200b his actions, but history has a way\u200c of\u200c revealing the truth and holding \u2062people accountable. Whether it&#8217;s \u2062in this\u200b life\u2063 or the next, Milley\u2064 will have \u2064to answer for his betrayal of his country and his duty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Call it poetic justice: your actions demand accountability.
