Top general warns that 'divisiveness leads to defeat' as Pentagon concerns over politicization grow

(CNN)America's most senior general warned that "divisiveness leads to defeat" in a speech to Naval War College graduates on Wednesday.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley counseled the audience to "eliminate anything that divides us."
While he also spoke of the traditional need to keep an eye on adversaries "during periods when we are weary from conflict or otherwise preoccupied," and did not mention President Donald Trump by name, his comments appeared to address the broader backdrop of racial divisiveness in the country and concerns within the Pentagon about the military becoming politicized.

QUICK!

SOMEBODY PLEASE mention ANY time in the history of the Pentagram that the perfumed princes with stars on their shoulders that run that place haven't been politicized.

Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
