I've supported Milley down the line on this forum on tough decisions & on superficial issues, like when he was criticized for wearing fatigues to visit the NG troops in the battle of Laf park. He then got sucked into tagging along on Trump's stroll to the church. For that, he had to make a public apology. It was humiliating to see him pander then, especially in light of Jan 6 when he was criticized for not having the NG deployed in time to make a difference.
Given his position, the CJCS should not publicly speak out on "white rage" unless he feels it is a problem in the services, provides evidence to support that assertion, & tells us what he is doing to address it.
Likewise, when the Service Chiefs put a book on their reading list, that is an endorsement of that content which service members are expected to read & absorb.
In the issue of mandatory training for military personnel, the " intellectual diversity" excuse is a dodge for pandering.
I was speaking to cradle, Salty.
He seems to think you're worthy of respect for your service, but not Milley.
I think you both are.
That said, you have repeatedly failed to denounce Carlson.
Why is that so hard for you?
"pig", "stupid", "obsequious"....have you watched him spew this yet?
Still no denouncement?
I do get that you're going to see any and all issues through your lens.
Like millions of others fearful of progress.
TLD would say your mask slipped a long time ago.
But, man, you really can't denounce Carlson?
Come on, you can do it.
Stop trying to tar anyone who has an honest, respectful difference of opinion with Gen Milley on this issue.
I'm concerned that he would raise the issue of "white rage" & want to see evidence of it's existence within the ranks.
Did MD or Disslax ever criticize General Flynn? Didn’t he serve? Hmmmmm.
