"My loyalty is absolute," says Gen. Milley, who allegedly pledged to tip off our greatest adversary, Communist China, if America was going to launch an attack on it--behind the back of the commander-in-chief

Loyalty to whom though?

Other US military officials were on the calls and readouts of the conversations were prepared, explains Gen. Milley.

Milley defends his loyalty - but he abandoned Americans and has moved on.

He's angry and defensive.

He bragged to Woodward that he was the adult in the room.

Milley is an arrogant ass.

Neither is the Speaker of the House. So did Milley shift his allegiance after speaking with Pelosi?

Jordan on Fox: The question I'd ask General Milley is, when did you run for office and make these kind of decisions where you can over when you can overrule basically the President of United States?

!!! Quite remarkable to hear Milley and McKenzie slam the Doha agreement made by Trump w/ the Taliban.

McKenzie says the Doha agreement “did negatively affect the performance of the Afghan security forces.”

Milley agrees.

Gen. Milley tells Senate panel he received an unclassified memo on Nov. 11, 2020 for the U.S. military to withdrawal all forces from Afghanistan by January 15th before Joe Biden took office. The order was later rescinded, Milley said.

@mystery-ak

SAY WHAT???????

How many of you who served in the military believe there would EVER be an unclassified memo ordering commanders to withdraw all their forces by a certain date?

IF there had ever been such a memo,it would have been classified as "Top Secret/Eyes only".

Milley says he acknowledges he is not in the chain of command, but "I am in the chain of communication."

@mystery-ak

WTH does that even mean? Bueller? Anyone?

How the HELL can The Chief of Staff of the US Army NOT be in the chain of command?

Now I admit that I was a mere NCO who didn't travel in the rarefied circles of Army Chiefs of Staffs,but even I know better than that.

Gen. McKenzie today: "I recommended we keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan."

President Biden to ABC last month: “No one said that to me that I can recall.”

Sen. Wicker objects to DoD referring questions to State the same way State referred questions to DoD. "Sen. Kaine," he notes, "gently but fatherly" sent a message to the administration "that we need to cut that out."

We lost 13 military service workers because Joe Biden refused to accept the recommendation to leave a small contingency of troops in Afghanistan. SHAMEFUL

It's typical Liberal double think along with Milley's pathetic attempt to back peddle from his disruption of the military chain of command to do Pelosi's bidding.

Sen Wicker: "Our credibility has been gravely damaged, has it not, Gen. Milley?
Milley: "I think our credibility with allies and partners around the world, and with adversaries, is being intensely reviewed by them...and I think that 'damage' is one word that could be used, yes."

On America's credibility after Biden's botched Afghan withdrawal:

Milley: "I think 'damaged' is one word that could be used, yes."

Austin: "I think our credibility remains solid."

Looks like Austin is being loyal to the Biden WH while Milley is out there on his own.

GOP needs to band together and take his ass out... Put him in the Brig, and take out that LTC.

He at least needs to share a cell with the LTC.

I support that LTC to a point. But when he is still has to adhere to the UCMJ and he's told quite plainly "quit going on TV or you're going to jail" and he does it anyway....well...actions have consequences.
