Mark Milley Is A Traitor

General Mark Milley is a disgrace to his uniform. If he had any integrity, he’d resign. He has none, and neither does his boss, so his job is safe. But he is a traitor who should be rotting in prison. Instead, he’s the toast of cable news and liberal social circles.

Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, actively subverted the Constitution and explicitly violated his oath and attempted to subvert the chain of command in the United States while pledging to our enemy that he would give them a “heads up” if it necessary. People have been executed for less, and justifiably so.

General Milley called Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army to reassure him that the U.S. would not make any moves against China, pretty much no matter what. This is bad enough, treasonous behavior in and of itself. But Milley went further, assuring the communist leader, “General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”

There is, in plain English, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the top military advisor to the President of the United States of America, swearing to an enemy of the country, of freedom, that he will tip him off if the United States, for whatever reason, were going to attack China. Milley is offering to put U.S. troops in jeopardy, to get them killed, on behalf of the Chinese communists. That’s treason.

Moreover, Milley actually does have the blood of American troops on his hands. 

CNN reports, “Just eight days after the 2020 election, then-President Donald Trump was so determined to end the war in Afghanistan during his presidency that he secretly signed a memo to withdraw all troops by January 15, 2021.” That didn’t happen because of Mark Milley

That means the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, which could have been completely quickly and during the winter-non-fighting season, was blocked, giving the responsibility to Joe Biden, who clearly wasn’t up to the task. There are 13 dead American soldiers because the Biden administration and General Milley couldn’t do their jobs properly. Their blood is on Biden and Milley’s hands.

Unsurprisingly, the unelected general imposing his will on policy by thwarting that of the duly elected President and coordinating with our enemies is not enough to lose the trust of Joe Biden. “Sure, Milley is a traitor, but he’s OUR traitor!”

The President’s spokesmodel, Jen Psaki aka Ginger Goebbels, said Wednesday that Milley has Biden’s “complete confidence” that he will follow the Constitution. Nowhere in the Constitution does it give an unelected bureaucrat, military or otherwise, the authority to overrule or end run around the elected President. This begs the question of whether or not Biden would be fine with Milley undermining his authority, should Milley find himself in disagreement with the President?

This is, of course, hypothetical and unlikely to happen because Milley is a man of the left. If he were not, he would not have been retained by Biden’s handlers. And were parties reversed, and Milley had coordinated with an enemy against a Democrat President, Democrats would be calling for his head. Republicans would, too, by the way.

Since Milley was doing the bidding of the left against “Orange Man Bad,” he will face no consequences. No leftist does.

Black Lives Matter/ANTIFA were responsible for almost 50 murders, billions of dollars in damages, tried to kill hundreds of police officers, beat the hell out of countless random people for the “crime” of wanting to protect their property, and the changes brought against them were minimal, at best. Every leftist who rioted on inauguration day 2017 had their charges summarily dropped without any real explanation. Liberals do not face justice for their action, for their violations of the law. Why would Mark Milley be any different? 

Truth is, he’s not. He’s gotten away with it already. Mark Milley will be in his job till he doesn’t want to be in his job anymore. Moronic leftists like Joe Scarborough will sing his praises, pretending he was contacting China to “warn” them not to try anything against the United States, rather than the reality that he’d promised to tip them off if we did anything. Granted, Joe was dumb enough to marry Mika (third wife’s the charm?), but even he can’t be that dumb to believe this spin, can he? 

He can; they all can and are. But their stupidity doesn’t change reality. Mark Milley committed treason against the United States of America. No amount of spin can change that.
