re: Calls for Milley to be fired and Blinken to resign getting louder

And who TF honestly believed Trump was going to start a Nuke War with China in January? Give me a fricking break. Thats completely made up!

Nancy likely planted seeds of sedition and treason, and Milley, being a weak-brained Trump hater, took the bait and ran with it.

He needs to be court-martialed. If any of you have paid attention to my posts in the past, you might know that I work in areas of national security and defense, primarily around nuclear defense, threat assessment, targeting systems and SOF's. The technology I deal with crosses over into space exploration and I work with NASA and several well known space contractors on the Artemis program. One of my co-workers is a former spook, special operations snake-eater, NSA guy who served under Reagan. Very old school, hard-core military guy. He should be retired, but he sticks around because we pay him well and he has hooks everywhere in the military, just last week having dinner with retired Gen. Goldfein, who was Chief of Staff of the USAF and a former member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to both Obama and Trump. So, I'm qualifying this guy to you as someone very connected to the military.

And he is VERY liberal and so we have some very lively conversations on opposing sides of many issues. Always respectful of our friendship, but rarely does he come to a debate on an issue unprepared and uninformed. We both have changed each other's minds on numerous issues, as he is highly intelligent and not a screaming out-of-his-mind type prone to cutting off debate or calling everyone who disagrees with him a Nazi. No, he's just a liberal, not a socialist or communist.

Last evening I asked him his opinion about this export on Milley. His response:

"If true, Milley SHOULD be stripped of rank and tried in court-martial. Treasonous? Maybe, but more likely he'd be charged with Dereliction of Duty and stripped of all pay and receive an dishonorable discharge, at worst. Most likely outcome, to avoid any investigation that might lead to outside influence, politics may dictate he gets asked to retire to avoid a scandal. That's my take on it. If a lot of heat comes down from the joint chiefs, or Republicans take the House and want stir the pot, this could get very messy."

Take it for what it's worth, but this guy opposed everything about Trump and is military through and through. I mean, his office at home literally has the look of the situation room at the Whitehouse when I join him in a video conference. And he thinks Milley is done and should be tried by a military court if the excerpts from the Washington Post story are true. But his pragmatism says it gets whitewashed.
