No. Trump said he never considered attacking China and his senior Military advisor aware of this made sure the Chinese knew this as well. What is wrong here? He made sure Trumps intentions were made clear. How in anyway is this even a story. Fake news. Sad.
12
Actually MacArthur was very intelligent and graduated top of his class at West Point, I think he would of totally approved of someone who suggested you read a book.
5
General Milley was personally appointed by and is a personal friend of President Trump. In what possible world is he a Democrat?
4
Patton was a well educated man who graduated from General War collage and wrote many technical papers on armoured warfare, personally I think he would have got on with General Milley extremely well.
3
@marklaumond5241 Actually in fact the opposite is the case. President Trump ordered General Milley to deploy US Army to the streets of Washington and General Milley said no that is an illegal order. Trumps lawyers backed the General and Trump backed down.
3
Carlsons attack on General Milley is just straight out cowardice. Every comment by him on General Milley was a lie. This is just gutter journalism from a grub.
3
@ethicsfirst3388 All General Milley was calling for was for us and in particular his Army to be educated. Educated people can be fascists, you can't force soldiers to accept blind obedience anymore, those days are gone, but I believe the wider read you are the more educated you are, and the chance of you being reasonable is greater.
3
And you believe a political commentator with a history of plagiarism and paid comment over General Milley who is a decorated combat veteran. Read for yourself and see how many jobs Ben Domenech has had to resign from for plagiarism and then decide who is the high mark of failure.
3
@koori3085 He has a combat infantry badge, two distinguished service medals, three bronze stars, and a legion of merit. He fought in the battle of Sadr city. All Ben Domenech has is record of confirmed lies. You choose who is the failure.
3
@koori3085 So having proven General Milley's physical bravery, command, and leadership in combat I will now prove his moral courage on three seperate occasions. First when he defended the US military from an unsubstantiated claim by a congressman about CRT being taught. He stood up to that congressman and declared that he was wrong CRT is not being taught. Second he apologised publicly and declared he made a mistake walking beside the President to the church, and thirdly when President Trump ordered him to take charge and deploy US Army troops to the capital he refused as it was an illegal order, something that took real moral courage, we now know Trump backed down as the legal advice President got was that General Milley was right. The US couldn't be in safer hands.
3
@koori3085 No passion, no opinion. I provided common knowledge facts that anyone could find out, based around a sound logical argument You offer no evidence and no argument other than to throw out personal abuse at me, and all this based on comment from a known liar and plagiariser, Ben Domenech. If you can't answer sensiblely don't bother.
3
@stopthehatemedialoveeachot442 You completely missed the point. Just because you read a book it doesn't mean you agree with what it says it just means you might get an understanding of its concepts. Yes you do need a certain level of intellectual capacity to be able to read. I have read parts of Marx's work and understand it's flaws hence why I'm not a Marxist. There isn't one book on CRT there happens to be many, that doesn't make it right, but reading one of them may help to understand it's flaws or truths, how in any way is that a bad thing?
3
So Pompeo accuses Biden of blame shifting and then does exactly that about the Obama administration. The chutzpah.
3
@Deathklok13420 And you clearly have no understanding of how senior military leaders all around the world regularly communicate on a range of topics.
3
@quijybojanklebits8750 Apart from that Milley had no command authority he isn't in the CoC for launching nuclear weapons and lawfully is unable to do so.
3
@common_sense_supreme Just quickly have a read of Ben Domenech's work history and then decide for yourself who is being honest, and should you pay any attention to thing he said.
3
@larrywilliams8063 You are wrong in fact. The CIB can only be awarded to Colonel and below and only for active ground combat. The other of your points are fair except for the fact he has been awarded the Defence Distinguished Service medal twice the Army Distinguished Service three times, three bronze stars, and the legion of merit twice. Denigrating a soldiers Service to his country, just because you don't like his opinion on a subject seems fairly shallow to me.
3
I would say the twice awarded Infantry Combat badge, two Defence Distinguished Service Medals, three Army Distinguished service medals, three Bronze stars, and a legion of merit, not to mention the numerous combat tours pretty much renders your comment utter nonsense. To denigrate a man who has given 40 years service to his country because you don't like his opinion on one subject is what, using your words "absolutely sucks".
3
@robertrickett7816 Fair enough and I don't necessarily agree with him either, but his service to his country has been impeccable. We can disagree on stuff but still remain respectful of each other. Some of the comments by others on this page about General Milley have just been horrendous and as an ex soldier I have probably been a bit defensive. Thank you.
3
@yankee2666 Please provide the evidence for the claim that General Milley is corrupt.
2
@JCX-9 What you said doesn't even make sense. President Trump went against the advice given to him by the snakes pit and personally chose General Milley. Explain to me exactly how a General gets rich by sending soldiers to war. Answer the don't, only the President or congress can commit troops to war. Form a proper argument.
2
@angusdrey8930 President Trump appointed him. General Milley has three university degrees one of which is a masters from Princeton. He has been educated by the finest schools the US has. Are you sure about the cretin remark now? Now I'm not sure what that says about President Trump or the US education system, but you work it out.
2
Annual GDP growth in Bidens first year of office 5.6%. Four years under Trump 2.33, 3, 2.2, -3.5. In what reality are you living? Unemployment rate sits currently at 4.2% and is 2.5 points lower from November 2020. Again what planet are you on? Dow Jones increase in 2021 18.7%. By what measure are you going by? Your gut feeling or hard economic data? Yes inflation has been high at 7%, but wage growth for last year averaged out at approximately 10%. Do you see a pattern forming here?
2
This is just an unsubstantiated unproven slur with absolutely no evidence to support it.
2
@josephmoran3265 If you believe that then I can only assume you would hold the person who promoted him responsible. President Trump, yep that's right, Trump chose Milley personally against the recommendation of then SecDef and the JCOGS.
2
@josephmoran3265 Does that say more about Trumps ability to select subordinates or the deep states attempts to control him.
2
@carolsmith6253 Have you any real understanding of General Milley's career?
2
Why because he suggested reading a book. By the way where were you when General Milley was fighting side by side with his troops in Iraq?
2
@jett7499 On the ground with pistol in hand in the battle for Sadr City. So in effect you have chosen the words of Ben Domenech, a proven liar and plagiarist who has either resigned or been sacked from numerous newspapers over the actions of a great American who has spent 40 years defending the US with distinguished service cross and bronze stars as proof. To allege with absolutely no proof that he is a communist other than, he suggest you read a book is so narrow and shallow in thought it beggars belief.
2
@stopthehatemedialoveeachot442 Yep, in no shape or form would the morale of the US Army be harmed by reading a book. To read CRT is in no way to agree with it or disagree with it, merely to understand it.
2
@stopthehatemedialoveeachot442 A good educator teaches you how to think not what to think.
2
@stopthehatemedialoveeachot442 Pimple of a General! 6 combat tours, a infantry combat badge, two distinguished service crosses, three bronze stars, and a legion of merit. 40 years defending the US, chuck in three university degrees two of which are masters one of which is from Princeton. That is just an unsubstantiated slur. General Milley who fought with pistol in hand in the battle of Sadr city would know more about "fighting morale" in his little finger than you and I would ever know and I did 35 years in the Army.
2
@stopthehatemedialoveeachot442 General Milley was appointed by a Republican, President Trump who chose him personally over the recommendation of the then SecDef and CofJCS. Restating and then emphasising that he is an evil pimple, when the only evidence you have is that he recommended his soldiers read a book is a pretty shallow argument. It was Plato who said "Only the dead have seen the end of war." Did I enjoy war, that is a deeply personal question, I certainly enjoyed soldiering, and when on operations I was confident that I contributed to the defence of my country in a meaningful way. It is a bit like a doctor treating a patient you don't wish them to be sick, but you enjoy making them better.
2
@stopthehatemedialoveeachot442 And so ends any meaningful discussion with your distrust and anger. The SecDef and General Milley both clearly stated CRT is not taught in the US military only that a book is on a recommended but not compulsory reading list. All General Milley said was he wanted to understand what happened on Jan 6 and you have turned it into some wild conspiracy theory. As to the facts of the day let's wait till all the investigations are over. CRT is no more a left and right thing than the theory of gravity is.
2
@stopthehatemedialoveeachot442 I answered every question in detail with proof. You threw out there a completely unsubstantiated claim with nil evidence about a foreign country being responsible for Jan 6. When you realise you have no argument then be brave enough to admit it. I'm sure the military is full of generals who vote republican and some that vote Democrat are you seriously suggesting only Republican voting generals are good and democrat voting generals are bad? and you had the gall to call me disingenuous. Game set match.
2
For suggesting someone read a book?
2
@razor1uk610 Done. Thanks for keeping an eye on my lousy typing skills.
2
@furionmax7824 Some people have the memory of a goldfish. Was is treasonous when Trump launched a missile attack on a Syrian airbase and warned the Russians beforehand. How many seconds after hanging up do you think it took the Russians to warn the Syrians?
2
@quijybojanklebits8750 You are misrepresenting the conversation to imply Milley said the US would never attack. We have no idea what the content of the conversation was, you are merely guessing.
2
@quijybojanklebits8750 In no way shape or form is what Milley is alleged to have said or done is treasonous and I guarantee you he will never and I repeat never be charged with it. His oath is to the US constitution not your demagogue.
2
it’s called climate proxy, and just because you don’t understand it (which is an argument from ignorance and a logical fallacy) doesn’t mean it is a not real. Read up on climate science and educate yourself. Your comment is just embarrassing.
2
@defeqel6537 science has never claimed to be infallible, but I’m interested, what is?
2
@sagacious00004 What part of modern science is built on shaky foundations?
2
What more stupid and corrupt than Newt baby, impossible.
2
@jerryhouse6455 President Trump personally chose General Milley as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, how in any way shape or form is he an Obama man?
2
Trump signed the surrender document.
2
Why? Because he has been caught on numerous occasions lying and plagiarising and either resigned or been sacked from more newspapers than you can keep count. Funny person to have as hero. Me I'll pick the guy (General Milley) with three bronze stars two distinguished service crosses and legion of merit and with pistol in hand fought along side his troops in Iraq, but I'm sure you have some better insight into Ben Domenech than I have. All I see is moral coward.
1
Factually incorrect. Trump had ordered the drawdown of troops to the level that the 2500 troops left could barely defend themselves let only Bagram and/or Kabul airport. Have you even the remotest clue about military logistics or the tactics required to defend an airfield?
1
@MsJackrussell2 Factually incorrect. The US had received intelligence the Chinese were concerned Trump might launch a nuclear attack (this was obviously not true, unless you believe he was going to) and so General Milley who knew Trump had no such intentions did what any responsible person would do. First he got permission from the Secretary of Defence Mark Esper and then he contacted his Chinese counterpart. The phone call was recorded and listened to by numerous defence officials. I have no idea where you made your story up from (Instagram maybe) but there isn’t a shred of truth to your claims.
1
@javiergarcia-ue9wm Yeah that worked out real well for Cyber ninjas.
1
@mervynhosking4970 Yeah that 5.6% GDP growth really sucks. 555000 jobs created every month for the last year hurts. 18.7% growth in the stock market is a real killer. 10% growth in wages, that's hard to take. 8% increase in exports that's a downer. The only good thing is inflation running at 7%.
1
Let's be clear the state of Florida and Australia have approx the same population. Deaths from Covid19 in the state of Florida 46000. Deaths in Australia 1500. As a proud Australian I am immensely impressed with the self sacrifice we have shown to save the lives of 44500 fellow Australians. Not a single word in this news article is even remotely true.
1
Why, because he read a book? As I see it your arguing that being educated is unconstitutional. Do you know how narrow and shallow that argument comes across as? Real insurrection, a free and fair election? Your argument is so full of fallacious statements the whole thing is just an illogical rant.
1
@handynothandsome261 "Marxist propaganda" "true patriots" When I described your original comment as an illogical rant I assumed you might respond with a sound argument, but no you have doubled down. "Educate against it" what does that even mean? You don't seem to understand the meaning of education.
1
@dougwilcher608 General Milley was personally appointed Joint Chief by President Trump. So in actual fact if you think there is a problem then it was the Republicans who caused it.
1
So the three universitiy degrees two of which are masters, and the combat he saw in Iraq where he was on the ground with a pistol in his hand along side his troops not good enough for you. Three bronze stars. Distinguished service cross. Are you getting the picture. Not only is your comment just factually wrong, it is as if you have no understanding of the military at all.
1
@joelmedina7777 How in world would the Joint Chief benefit financially from his position unless you are accuseing him of some completely unproven or unknown corrupt activity. Just because it's in your imagination doesn't make it true. General Milley has spent 40 years defending the US and that includes in combat. Look in the mirror and decide who is in unAmerican.
1
@JCX-9 You made the claim, and clearly you are unable or too lazy to support it. I never said or suggested that US arms manufacturers don't profit by both US and foreign weapon sales, it is a significant contributor to the US economy of which I don't particularly have a problem. I said General and implied General Milley, so you created a strawman arguement that is fallacious, making your comment illogical.
1
Horrendous, just as horrendous as the attempts on Pelosi and Pences lives.
1
@ronwatson4135 And there you have it. This is why the US is where it is at.
1
Every word from this this clowns mouth was a lie. He is merely a mindless sycophant for Trump. He even contradicted himself several times in his entirely stupid, fallacious, and illogical rant. He is just a Trump lickspittle who has turned on the US military because it stood up to Trump.
1
@eric kanter I specifically mentioned inflation so your comment is useless, and you didn't mention wage growth so don't make unbalanced comment. I by no means suggest everything is OK there are many problems facing the US and the ridiculous division being created by the hard right and the hard left isn't helping as exposed by some of the stupid comments here.
1
@eric kanter The exact same insane monetary policy contributed to the greatest economy ever (according the President Trump) and government debt as a portion of GDP is now at 122%. To blame Biden is simplistic, recessions, defence budget growth and unfunded tax cuts have all contributed from previous administrations. Build back better is funded, however I am somewhat sceptical. It is a bit rich for Republicans who while they were in control spent like drunken sailors to now blame Democrats for spending programs.
1
@debbiestone101 I have no understanding why a $300 tax credit per child for families earning up to $150000 and single parents up to $11200 you find so offensive yet presumably you had no problems with the Republican tax cuts that benefited the top 1% of taxpayers $61090 and did nothing for the low to moderate tax payers $390.
1
OK try this on for size. The Biden administration Covid relief bill provided a direct payment of $1400, a $300 per week unemployment supplement, expanded child tax credit, and put extra funding into vaccine distribution. US exports grew 8.1% in the second half of 2021. The deficient with China decreased by $3.2 billion as well. Average monthly job growth for 2021 was 555000. It is just completely nonsensical to suggest that economically the US is being set up for failure. Please offer up just one data set that supports your statement.
1
@simonsimon8572 I man willing to go through Carlsons comments on General Milley point by point and explain why each one is completely wrong and an obvious lie, but really what's the point you obviously just suck down whatever Tucker tells you and assume it's true.
1
@simonsimon8572 General Milley was President Trumps personal choice of CJCS ahead of the recommendations of the then Defence Secretary and the former CJCS General Dunford. The Biden administration is flawed on many levels but you can't blame the Biden Administration for any perceived faults in the current military leadership. Carlson is a lying grub and General Milley is a honourable man with an incredible long and distinguished career defending the US and is a personal friend of Donald Trump. You need to further your information gathering and not just take Tuckers word, which in this case is about as useful as a fart in the wind.
1
Why because he has been caught on numerous occasions plagiarising, or the other occasions where he has been sacked for writing opinion pieces he was payed for. The more you hear from him the more rubbish will fill your brain.
1
I think the point here is as the facts change your opinion should change. Gutfield is creating what is called a strawman fallacy, all the main stream media reported the theory of the virus coming from the Wuhan laboratory way back over a year ago, and they said at the time there was insufficient evidence at that time to support it, now apparently there is, why is this so hard to accept. As you learn more you adjust your opinion, unless your Fox News and your never wrong..
1
The worst case of Milley derangement syndrome I have seen so far.
1
M L And yet it was a Republican President who appointed General Milley.
1
Yeah right from a bloke who has left job after job for plagiarism. I wonder who wrote this piece for him?
1
Why, because a general suggested someone read a book.
1
You can thank President Trump for that.
1
@ethicsfirst3388 You raised Facism not me when you mentioned Nazism. I'm not a Democrat and have not defined or redefined the meaning of any word. You clearly have no understanding of modern warfare if you think it is just about the mission, far more important is to understand the commanders intent. Why are you so afraid of education? That's how you defeat any enemy you out smart them.
1
@cosmonaut9696 irrelevant, i didn't raise facism someone else did. Let them define it.
1
@ethicsfirst3388 He's wrong because he wants his officers and soldiers educated. Do you know how narrow and shallow that argument sounds.
1
@ethicsfirst3388 General Milley was appointed by a Republican president. You raised the Republican/ Democrat issue which I agree was totally irrelevant, and pointless, I merely responded so it was clear to you I was not a left leaning Democrat, but a conservative. You emphasis my point when you misunderstood my comment about mission and intent. General Milley's mission is to in broad terms defend the US but his commanders intent comes from his bosses the SecDef and the President, that the intent he has to understand. I am not changing the meaning of any words. Nice touch with the condescending tone though.
1
@kimromero3247 General Milley is one of the most widely respected Military leaders the US has produced. He was appointed by a Republican president in 2019 so he probably has a few years left in him. I suppose you have more respect for the marketing political party hack spin doctor in this article.
1
@kimromero3247 So the numerous combat tours he has done, the fighting he did in Iraq, the three Bronze stars, and 40 years defending the US from its enemies count for nothing, so you don't respect him because he wants his officers and soldiers to read a book. Do you know how narrow and shallow that sounds, but then I'm sure he isn't even remotely interested in your opinion.
1
@rickklein7792 So with no prove you just malign the reputation of a man who has given his entire to defend your freedom. Two Distinguished Service Crosses and three Bronze Stars and you malign him because he wants his soldiers to read a book, how narrow and shallow is that.
1
@raynshyn7160 General Milley a Deeply conservative soldier personally appointed by a Republican president a "woke shill"? or do you mean me a conservative 35 year ex soldier. Why because we read?
1
@rickklein7792 As a 35 year ex vet ex soldier I never meant to offend you or deny your right to an opinion that's what makes the US great. I just think General Milley has been unfairly criticised by some uninformed comments.
1
@kimromero3247 War is just dirty and ugly, I have a nephew who survived multiple bullet wounds, I have young soldiers with titanium legs, and friends who are now dead through suicide years after ending their tour. What have I learned from all that? I need to make sure I am as educated as I can be, so decisions I make will mitigate as best I can that suffering, that's not selling my soul, that's just trying to be the best I can, and that's all General Milley is trying to do.
1
@robertwhite7071 Yeah your right, after 40 years, numerous combat tours, two distinguished service crosses, three bronze stars his true colours are really on show.
1
@robertwhite7071 I just find it hard to believe you would be so dismissive of a man who has given his entire life defending the country, and why because he suggested people read a book and you disagree with his views on a certain subject. Seems pretty shallow to me.
1
This is just the most utter garbage comment I've ever heard.
1
@annoyedaussie3942 Yes these two twitheads couldn't put a single coherent point together between them. It seems that as long as I remain truthful the moderater of this sight feels compelled to allow my comments.
1
US inflation is under 3%
1
Scheller was warned Facebook was an inappropriate platform for a military officer to criticise his superiors. He then disobeyed a direct order. If I was his commander I would have thrown him in jail to. It has nothing to do with what he said which I to certain extent agree with it was how he said it. Quite simply really, and easily understood if you weren't a partisan hack.
1
@stevenpinder4355 General Milley was twice awarded the Combat Infantry badge for actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, the award itself is only for Colnel and below and only for being engaged in active ground combat and must actively participate in such ground combat. I never suggested he was a General when it was awarded to him. Genrals can't be awarded it.
1
@stevenpinder4355 No I was not on his security team he wouldn't of had one anyway, are you suggesting the only evidence you would accept of anything is eye witness accounts?
1
@stevenpinder4355 I didn't mean to be offensive merely informative. I also have some time under my belt as a soldier and the idea that someone would call me a communist just because I suggested they read a book is what I find offensive.
1
What a nothingburger.
1
Trump signed the withdrawal agreement to surrender in Afghanistan.
1
Let’s count the moronic comments from the RWNJs.
1
Tariff = increased costs = inflation. Unfunded tax cuts = increased deficits. Both will result in increased interest rates.
1
Yeah maybe all of that but they aren’t raiding the capital.
1
Unsubstantiated gossip, without even a shred of evidence.
1
OMG straight to the RWNJ conspiracy theory.
1
@ca6360 I totally agree, however the SecDef explicitly and clearly stated in plain language that CRT is not being taught in the US military. General Milley emphasised this and explained that a book about CRT was on a recommended list only as suggested reading as means of perhaps understanding what CRT is. Just because you read something doesn't mean you believe it as fact, but there maybe snippets of truth you can glean from it.
1
@ca6360 That comment is called a slippery slope arguement and is a logical fallacy. You would need to provide some evidence of that actually happening. Reading about stuff is just called education.
1
@ca6360 Yeah I'm not much of a fan of the touchy feely type of ads either. I wouldn't say I am in denial but probably more trusting. Yep again I totally agree the Army I joined 35 years ago is very different to the one of today, but I tell you in my opinion much better. I was always so impressed by the young ones coming in of their skill and commitment. I don't think the senior leadership of the military are trying to divid. The SecDef said all he was concerned about was extremist behaviour not thought or political leaning, so I take him on his word, realising that Lloyd Austin retired a four star General and was awarded the Silver Star. Lastly your right, in my time I can only think of maybe one or two actual instances of racist behaviour, but the use of racist language I experienced over my time was a constant, and when as a junior soldier I would say something it was brushed off and I was told don't worry about it. It was only as a senior soldier was I able to tell soldier no you can't say that, and that was virtually to the day I got out. So in my experience racism was an issue. I think we basically agree, we just have a slightly different approach to addressing the problem.
1
How is reading a book not doing his job?
1
A privileged white male who inherited his money. Trump is the establishment.
1
Why because he has proven in combat to be physically brave, in leadership to be morally brave, and has spent the time to educate himself. Yep he has no right to even call himself an American.
1
The casualty statistics tell a very different story.
1
What exactly about his 40 years of service to his country makes you ashamed. Could it be his Infantry combat badge, distinguished service medals, bronze stars, legion of merit, numerous combat operations, three university degrees, a masters from Princeton or the fact you disagree with his recommendation of reading a book. What is shameful is the way you seem happy to degenerate a honrable man who has given his life to his country simply because you don't like his opinion
1
@buckfutter99 And there you have it. Fundamentally you just described what Milley has alleged to have done. Nothing to see hear just fake news.
1
@blackopsrocks Sorry your completely wrong. Senior military leaders from all countries regularly speak to each other. This is common knowledge.
1
@furryballsploppedmenacingl8534 Your just making up the content of this conversation you have no idea what was said your just guessing.
1
Blah Blah There is nothing Milley did that was even remotely treasonous and Trump has no idea what the Chairman of the joint chiefs authority is and has little control over who he talks to. I mean Trump doesn't even understand how the Supreme Court worked.
1
Blah Blah Very little.
1
@blackopsrocks All Milley did was reassure his Chinese counterpart that in fact the US government was working. This is just a non story. Woodward is selling a book and you are taking the hook, line, and sinker.
1
@quijybojanklebits8750 So you have completely misconstrued the conversation and General Milleys position. But let's just assume everything from Woodward book is exactly correct, will you accept that every other detail in the book is correct about Trump? Trump has described Woodward as a sleaze and not to be trusted. So which is it. Was Trump thinking of attacking China or not? Is every detail in Woodward's previous book "Rage" correct?
1
@Deathklok13420 You have absolutely no idea how the function of government runs in the US as clearly expressed in your reply. Your childish concept that every diplomatic or international communication requires the President's approval or knowledge is absurd and has no basis in reality. Childlike in its naivety your understanding of the real world politics is limited.
1
@quijybojanklebits8750 I remain respectful as long as you do. There is a clown on these comments who has attacked me so once that happens gloves off. I am intrigued though does this mean you don't accept any criticism of Trump in Woodward's book only criticisms of people you perceive were or are not loyal to Trump.
1
@luminatrixfanfiction No. You are however so blinded in your demagoguery of Trump that even the mildest criticism of him sends you off in a crazed demonic rant that lacks any fact or sense. General Milley will front Congressional questioning on 28 Sep and your idiotic concerns will be allayed.
1
@luminatrixfanfiction So it turns out Milley first consulted with the Secretary of Defence and the acting Secretary for defence and 15 people were in on these phone calls including a Trump State department representative and interpreters. So once again all you People out there suffering from MDS this is a non story media beat up to increase book sales. You need to get your facts right before going off on your rants.
1
Everyone has gone very quiet once a few facts have made the news. You all were very quick to condemn General Milley as per your MDS but as the facts surface your idiotic comments have shown to be just that.
1
So General Milley has presented before congress and how do you bunch of cowards look now. All the utterly stupid comments lacking any sense calling for Milley to be charged for treason must make you all feel totally foolish. If any of you had a grain of integrity you would write a letter of apology to him.
1
@yingnyang2889 His communications with the Chinese were approved by the Trump administration and the whole conversation was recorded as over a dozen officials by Chinese and American listened in. You have no idea what treason is, which is the really troubling issue.
1
@yingnyang2889 I am still a serving soldier and you clearly have no idea what you are commenting on. Senior military leaders from all nations regularly communicate with each other. Do you have a grasp on reality?
1
@yingnyang2889 And as it turns out the reason for the communication with the Chinese was the US had received intelligence the Chinese were concerned an attack was a possibility. Milley just assured them this was absurd. In Trumps own words he never considered it. Do you have any understanding of geo politics?
1
@yingnyang2889 As explained earlier General Milley first consultanted with his immediate superior the Secretary of Defence and received the approval to go ahead. The Trump administration was fully informed at all times about this dialogue. What are you finding hard to grasp here?
1
@yingnyang2889 You could make an argument for incompetence in relation to the Secretary for Defence Richard Spencer if he did not inform Trump, but that's about it. By the way General Milley was twice awarded the Comabt Infantryman Badge in defence of his country, how many do you have.
1
@yingnyang2889 Under oath in testimony in front of congress General Milley explicitly denied suggesting Trump was crazy. Pelosi implied it and Milley told here he was not qualified to make that sort of a judgement.
1
@yingnyang2889 Milley didn't contact Pelosi she contacted him, all he did was politely take her call and then dismissed her concerns.

@yingnyang2889 If the President wasn't informed then put the blame on the secretary of Defence. Even then all this was an attempt to relieve any concerns the Chinese had. In no way did it even diminish President Trumps authority as General Milley clearly explained in front of congress he understood President Trumps intentions and knew intimately he had no intention of attacking China.
1
@yingnyang2889 I'll explain this again. The US received intelligence that the Chinese were concerned that during the period of the US presidential elections the Trump administration may make an attack of some sort. General Milley knew this to be false, so he checked with the Sec of Defence, and organised a phone conversation with the Chinese which over a dozen people listened into. He relayed to the Chinese President Trump had no intention to attack. Once again where is the treason in that action. If the sec of Defence saw no need to inform President Trump then what harm has actually been done?

@yingnyang2889 Yeah I admit that was a cheap shot about the combat badge. Interestingly just because you mentioned it I was a awarded a Army combat badge but not in your Army as being an Australian it was with my army. Our grunts have a Infantry combat badge and the other arms corps have the Army combat badge and clearly we have both spent a considerable amount of time defending freedom. So now that we have both had a go at each other, back to the point. What exactly did General Milley do that was treasonous, because I can't see it.
1
Full on conspiracy theory here.
1
What a serial plagiariser? He has been sacked or resigned from more newspapers than you can poke a stick at. He is a convicted liar, who has printed opinion pieces where he admitted he took payment for that comment and you reckon Ben Domenech is the type America needs more of? Are you really sure of that?
1
@defeqel6537 Fine. Name me a particular climate model that was significantly wrong.
1
@Bydun4prison Nope just calling out BS where I see it, not attempting to invoke fringe metaphors.
1
@zephyrwinkle6552 There is no singular current climate model and the fact you suggest there is shows how little you know about the subject. If you mean the CMIP5 models used by the IPCC then it consists of approximately 100 different climate models produced by 49 different groups. If you are claiming these are all wrong then you are going to have to provide some substantive evidence, otherwise you are just talking out of your arse.
1
@defeqel6537 Hansens models were virtually spot on. The 1988 to 2017 temperature increase of 0.6c proved his model correct. The myth about Hansen models being wrong come s from deliberately false evidence given by Patrick Michaels ( who is mostly under the pay of the fossil fuel industry). He deliberately left out Hansens scenarios B and C. Micheals simply deleted inconvenient data. In fact global surface temperatures have increased by about 0.35 since 2000 precisely in line with Hansens 1988 model. I could go on, but you are just factually and demonstrably wrong. You have been sold on Fossil fuel PR spin. Nothing to be ashamed of it has happened to millions of people.

@C GN Nice try but it is yourself using the hyperbolic language. I have merely quoted the accepted science which mentions nothing about the end of the world. I leave that up to RWNJs.
1
A particularly generous Xmas greeting.
1
He passed Ranger school and was green beret. He also has at least five combat tours. Your comment is just an unsubstantiated slur with nil eveidence.
1
The truth? Would that be the truth of the numerous times Ben Domenech has been caught plagiarising or the times he has been caught being paid for comment? I mean really this Domenech bloke has a long history of being dishonest. He's not even a reporter. What world are you in?
1
OMG this will bring out the right wing conspiracy nutters.
1
@scottwilson9404 So how exactly did he manage to trick President Trump into appointing him?
1
Old Newt would know a liar he was up there with the best of them
1
What bdog0720 said is exactly right.
1
This Ben Domenech character has not spent a single day in uniform. He has a history of plagiarism and payment for comment, so I ask anyone watching this, do some research on the bloke making these comments, and then read the service record of a truely great American, General Milley, numerous combat tours, three bronze stars, distinguished service medal, down in the dirt with his men and pistol in his hand in Iraq. Then to top it off when President Trump told him to take charge and deploy his troops he was brave enough to stand up to him and say no he didn't have the legal authority to do so, something which the lawyers have now said was absolutely right. So there you have it a President who was willing to turn the Army on its own people and a true patriot who resisted that illegal order.
1
Yeah the two distinguished service crosses, the three bronze stars, the numerous combat tours, and 40 years defending the US, all so you can throw out there an unsubstantiated slur with no evidence.
1
Clearly the US Infantrymen Combat badge, and the three bronze stars proves that point ridiculous.
1
@larrywilliams8063 No need to get offended just accept you were wrong. I was very explicit when I said in my comment that he was awarded the Infantry combat badge, you then said a General can get a combat badge as yes you technically correct a General can be awarded a combat action badge, but that was not what I was talking about, a general can not be awarded a Infantry combat badge. So just so you understand there is a Infantry combat badge and a combat action badge, as there is also a combat medical badge. As I did 35 years am am very proud of my combat badge I was probably being overly defensive of General Milley and sorry I did not mean to offend you.
1
2865 comments of utter hate. Two World Cup winners medal and an Olympic gold medal suggest your words of hate are farts in the wind.
1
So the standard Republican winge is “If we don’t win it was rigged”. Pathetic
1
A similar thing happened to Fox when Roger Ailes left in disgrace. Fox did OK.
1
@robertrickett7816 You obviously have a bias and or agenda that simple facts and the truth means you can't accept either. The Infantry Combat badge can only be awarded to colonels and below in the infantry and or special forces who have participated in combat. Also his fellow soldiers tell the story of him pistol in hand during the Battle of Sadr City. So once again you with nil evidence have slurred a honrable decent man for what I can only tell is the narrowest shallowest of reasons, you didn't like his opinion. Who is the courageous one in this instance?
1
From a bloke caught plagiarising and lying on numerous occasions. He has been sacked or resigned from so many newspapers it is hard to keep count.
1
General Milley was personally appointed by President Trump. If there was a failure there's your answer.
1
@555Trout Why because he's educated, physically brave in combat, and morally brave in command, yeah I can see all reasons to fire him. Not to mention the 40 years defending the US.
1
@555Trout He showed moral courage in apologising after the public walk with the President and in standing up for the military in the senate hearing. There are two examples, now you may not like them, but I'm not sure if you even understand what it takes to serve your country which General Milley has for 40 distinguished years. Is your thinking so narrow so shallow that you want to eliminate the Chairman of the Joint chiefs because he suggested soldiers read a book. Now that is a stupid argument.
1
@555Trout Why because he reads? In your imagination tens of millions, but you have absolutely no evidence of that assertion, and yes sometimes insubordination can be courageous. Why are you so afraid of education?
1
I dare anyone to read Steve Hilton's bio ( marketing and political spin doctor) to General Milley's ( 40 year combat veteran defending the US) and then decide if Hiltons commentary is anything more than an uneducated slanderous piece of gutter level rubbish.
1
Where were you when General Milley pistol in hand was fighting side by side with his troops in Iraq? By they way that's Two distinguished service medals and three bronze stars, and a legion of merit.
1
General Milley did, as a one star and a pistol in his hand he fought along side his troops in Iraq. Get informed.
1
So the fact he fought in Iraq in close combat with a pistol in his hand not good enough for you!
1
Hilarious.
