Should GEN (R) Mark Milley Be Recalled To Active Duty And Court Martialed?

The US military has been muddling through crises and failures for the past few years. Recent events include the embarrassing evacuation from Afghanistan in 2021, COVID vaccine mismanagement, return to WW2 era dress uniforms, and DEI. While the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff cannot be held responsible for civilian policy regarding military matters, he/she does give advice to the Commander in Chief. Further, the Chairman is active duty and still required to adhere to the same regulations of conduct.

On 21 September 2021, Bob Woodward published Peril. In the book, Woodward conducted research and interviewed numerous civilian and military leaders regarding the events of the 2020 election and the events leading up to President Biden’s inauguration. The book was very critical of Donald Trump and made numerous allegations of ‘fascism’ and illegal actions.

One of the leaders Woodward interviewed was the then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley. Milley confirmed that he had talked about the sitting president, Donald Trump in numerous interviews after the book was published.1 The book outlines actions Milley took in regards to speaking to a Chinese general about the mental state of the President without the President’s knowledge and his actions leading up to the Inauguration of President Joe Biden.

In an interview in September 2021, Milley said that the call to General Li of the People’s Liberation Army was “perfectly within the duties and responsibilities of his job.”2 In the book Peril, Milley called General Li in October 2020 supposedly to reassure the Chinese that the US was not going to war with China.3 Quotes from the book include:

Milley: “General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay. We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you. General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we are going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise. It’s not going to be a bolt out of the blue. If there was a war or some kind of kinetic action between the United States and China, there’s going to be a buildup, just like there has been always in history. And there’s going to be tension. And I’m going to be communicating with you regularly. So, this is not one of those times. It’s going to be okay. We’re not going to have a fight.”

General Li: “Okay, I take you at your word.”4

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Make it a two-fer:

Vindman should be recalled to active duty, court martialed, dishonorably discharged, and if we find out he betrayed the US for Ukraine (or another foreign actor), prosecuted and sentenced appropriately.

Court Martialed for high treason?  Absolutely.

No, it'd be a distraction and a pointless act of petty revenge.  Let him go.

Yep. The man's prior behavior as General demands to be made an example of, regardless if his obvious political leanings.

Won't work as Milley would have to be extradited from his safe haven in Bejing where his money and friends reside.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
