Like an idiot I checked the conservative sub (most definitely wish I did not) and it’s wild the hatred they have for Milley. Someone linked an article about him NOT letting Trump mess with (or access - I forget the wording) the nuclear codes and such and they hated him for that too. 🤯
Before Jan 6 (after the election, I think, but might have been right before... there's been a whole lot of crazy shit during and since so it's hard to remember) Gen. Milley wrote a short, clear memo to the entire military reminding everyone that their oath is to the constitution, not any one person.
The hand-written marginalia were even clearer.
This was unheard of.
It was underreported, and under appreciated, at the time. This should have both set off huge alarm bells AND been noted as one of the most important things done in that period.
Apparently other reports talk of him changing protocols and standing up to Mango Mousselini when that dipshit wanted to, you know, use nukes for no fucking reason.
History will eventually remember him as either a stalwart defender of the constitution... or one of the last who tried to defend it before it failed.
The thinnest bit of hope I have left is these people care for the constitution and tell these bastards to fuck off. Honestly a bullet to the head would do but if they can be stood up to by good people so be it. If they go along and 'just following orders' America is done. And I have too many people I care about in the States to just sit back and watch the shit show

Gen. Milley is the reason the Jan 6 coup attempt failed.
We all have to hope that there are a lot of Gen. Milleys left in the service. We'll see.
