Only problem is that on the credibility standpoint Stavridis isn't the best person to be vouching for Milley. Seems the good Admiral had some issues with money...specifically in the realm of official and unofficial travel and "other matters".
Officially he was cleared...but I worked in the unit that helped create the paper trail to get him off the hook.

You know they're going to circle the wagons, especially when a charge of treason isn't off the table.

Last night Levin brought up the point rightfully that Woodward sat on the story 3 months before publishing in his book. Patiently waiting on the reprecusioons of that. /s

I'm waiting for the "Five former Chiefs of Staff sign letter defending Milley's Actions" to appear in the NY Times or the WaPo
