In an impassioned and at times furious speech, departing Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley defiantly proclaimed that the US military does not swear an oath to a “wannabe dictator.”
It was a bitter and pointed swipe that appeared unmistakably targeted at former President Donald Trump, who has in recent days accused Milley of “treason” and suggested that he should be put to death for his conduct surrounding Trump’s bid in 2021 to remain in office despite losing the presidential election.
“We are unique among the world’s militaries,” Milley said. “We don’t take an oath to a country, we don’t take an oath to a tribe, we don’t take an oath to a religion. We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or a tyrant or a dictator.”
I’m cool with hate thanks. They have earned it.
An attitude they share as well. Eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
Ya gotta leave them able to see. And then show them you have the same capacity for cruelty, but only dole it harsh to the ringleaders.
Thanks for the pep talk Ghandi, but I’m going to give them what they deserve and nothing more. They took advantage of patience, kindness, and cheek-turning. That time is over. No more.
It’s scorched-earth time. If you don’t like it, the drum circles are that way.
