“Milley allegedly placed military hands — his hands — on controls that belonged exclusively to the president. According to Peril, [he] summoned senior operation officers in the military command center to his office,” Grassley said, adding, “He had them take ‘an oath’ not to ‘act’ on the president’s orders without checking with him first,” Grassley said.



quote:

“After my third note, Gen. Milley responded with the same old smoke and mirrors routine: ‘I have never read the books.’ Years of oversight have taught me this lesson. Evasive answers usually offer revealing clues about the truth,” he said, d




Banks said in his statement on the floor:




quote:

Our Constitution is clear: the president is the commander-in-chief. Sidestepping the president and violating the chain of command is a grave crime.

According to Bob Woodward’s book Peril, Gen. Mark Milley directed senior military officers NOT to follow the president’s orders, unless Gen. Milley approved them first. When I asked Gen. Milley about Peril at an Armed Services hearing, he claimed he hadn’t READ it. Convenient. So Sen. Chuck Grassley and I sent a letter to Gen. Milley, asking him to verify or refute the books’ claims.

He hasn’t responded. I am calling on Gen. Milley to set the record straight. Gen. Milley is accused of secretly SEIZING the president’s military powers. That is the most serious crime. If he is innocent, he has a duty to say so.

The next President is going to have to clean out the chain of command. Put back in the right people

I expect Milley to be long gone by then.

But everyone else? Absolutely.

His pension should be stripped and he should still be tried for his crimes, then sentenced accordingly. Retirement shouldn’t be a shield to hide behind or an excuse not to go after these criminals.

Trump is not stable. Milley upheld his oath.

Sorry.

If the claim is true ...
Any who gave oath also committed a crime.
Likewise, any who were asked and refused but failed to report the incident to security.

Nothing will ever happen to people like Gen Milley unless he is killed/overthrown by his subordinates. Imagine being in the military and taking orders from such a fat worthless cuck as Gen Milley. How he hasn’t been beaten to death is a mystery. This POS said he would call and tell China beforehand if we were going to attack them

Realistically he has no choice. The President* is senile and stupid. Common sense should have told him not to take that position if your boss is senile and stupid.

More than a few on these boards white knighted for Milley early on.

He’s a bitch.

This is not the answer you meant it to be. In the armed services, you follow orders. In rare instances, there is a process in place to avoid orders that one may deem unethical.

The military are still subject to court martial after retirement to a degree IIRC.

Something like this would be a big fricking deal and he should get court martialed over it.

And you know the military is doing the same shite to Biden. Usurping power.

I seriously doubt Obama and W had control over the military either. Obama initially campaigned on taking our troops out of the middle east, like trump did. But as soon as he won, he turned into W on steroids regarding the middle east. I think Obama kept his head down and accepted it because they promised to satisfy his vanity and give him a decent reputation with the help of the state media and universities.

I just wonder how long has it been since a president actually controlled our military.

Why didn't your man fire him?

He knew what he was after his behavior/actions after the church fire in DC. Milley had a long history of not carrying out Trumps wishes. I remember Trump use to brag on him and tell us how great that he was. Milley should have been fired long before Jan. 6.

The entire Flag Officer Corps is corrupt as hell. We need to shite can each and everyone of them that have ever made a political post on social media (either way). Place civilian oversight at every Flag Command and get back to apolitical positions. If it doesn’t further military operations you shite can it….to include every mentally ill Transgender service member. Drum them out because they are non-deployable like the service members that refused the Vaxx.
