Gen. Milley Fires Back

[EMNofSeattle]

Tucker Carlson is a Rightwing Hack.

A PutinTrumpRower.

GEN. Milley's TIS as a 4-star is already second only to MacArthur who went on to become a 5-star so no one is expected to surpass all of that.

On 15 August 2014, Milley was promoted to the rank of four-star general and became the 21st CG of U.S. Army Forces Command serving from 15 August 2014 to 9 August 2015. Army Forces Command does mission specific deployments from A to Z.

Chief of Staff
On 14 August 2015 General Mark Anthony Milley was sworn in as the 39th Chief of Staff of the Army. His focus was on weapons lethality to include doubling the range of precision heavy artillery.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
On 8 December 2018, President Donald Trump announced that he would nominate GEN Milley to serve as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. On 25 July 2019, the United States Senate confirmed his nomination by a vote of 89–1 and he was sworn in on 30 September 2019.

Operational Deployments
His operational deployments include: the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO), Sinai, Egypt; Operation Just Cause, Panama; Operation Uphold Democracy, Haiti; Operation Joint Endeavor, Bosnia-Herzegovina; Operation Iraqi Freedom Iraq; and Operation Enduring Freedom, Afghanistan.

Education
GEN Milley’s education includes a Bachelors Degree in Political Science from Princeton University, and Master's Degrees from Columbia University in International Relations and from the U.S. Naval War College in National Security and Strategic Studies. He is also a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Seminar XXI National Security Studies Program and of the Army Command / General Staff College.

All Carlson has is Trump Boutique Knee Pads.

Except unlike MacArthur Milley just hasn’t won any wars.

And also unlike MacArthur he was publicly positioning to refuse orders to put down violent riots that threatened the peace and safety of the country.

Gen. Milley Fires Back at Gaetz’s ‘Offensive’ Question, Leaving Him Shaking His Head (Daily Beast)​

“I do think it's important, actually, for those of us in uniform to be open-minded and be widely read. And it is important that we train and we understand,” he declared before referencing the Jan. 6 insurrection. “I want to understand white rage, and I’m white… What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America?”
After saying he has read Mao Tse Tung, Karl Marx, and Vladimir Lenin and that “doesn’t make me a communist,” Milley added: “What is wrong with understanding, having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend? And I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our commissioned, our non-commissioned officers of being ‘woke’ or something else because we are studying some theories that are out there!”

I was profoundly impressed.

Wait, I don’t get the logic? He reads Mao to understand Maoism? Lennin to understand Lennin? And Ibram X Kendi (a guy who is really really dumb) to understand white rage? Why wouldn’t you read the Turner Diaries if your goal is to understand white rage?

 

[Jredbaron96]

Why wouldn’t you read the Turner Diaries if your goal is to understand white rage?

You'd be hard pressed to understand anything by reading the Turner Diaries given how shitty the quality of writing is.

 

[EMNofSeattle]

Better then Kendi. You ever read “how to be an anti racist”?

It’s babbling nonsense. The quality of the writing is terrible. Das Kapital is at least well written, although in fairness I don’t read German so I should say the quality of the English translation is good.

Yes, the turner diaries is not well written and Ibrim X Kendi is a level below that.

And also though, if he’s saying he wants to understand “white rage” and compares it to reading Maos red book to understand Mao, well that doesn’t work. Because Maoism is presumably understood by Mao. Kendi is not a white nationalist and therefore it is not the same thing as reading Mao to understand Chinese communism.

 

[Jredbaron96]

Better then Kendi.

I don't see Kendi anywhere in the OP or the article..

The quality of the writing is terrible. Das Kapital is at least well written,

In the sense that's it contains all the flaws of the German style of writing? I guess.

 

[Jredbaron96]

Except unlike MacArthur Milley just hasn’t won any wars.

MacArthur didn't win any wars either; all he did was piggy back off the much better strategic minds of the United States Navy then blundered America into it's longest retreat in history in Korea.

 

[EMNofSeattle]

I don't see Kendi anywhere in the OP or the article..

It came up because Gaetz was questioning Milley based on the recommended reading list which included “how to be an anti-racist” by Ibrim X Kendi.

This is where Milley is getting his line of “well I read Mao to understand Mao.... blah blah I want to understand white rage”

No books written by White Nationalists or their analogs in Europe are on this list. Not “the turner diaries” nor “camp of the Saints” nor archeofuturism, the great replacement essay isn’t there (although that’s not really white nationalist literature so much as an accurate summation of the goals of the left to seize political power) those are some easy examples.

In the sense that's it contains all the flaws of the German style of writing? I guess.

it’s not a flaw to have a different writing style in foreign languages. The writing style in Russian is different and the Russian literary canon contains all the greatest novels known. Crime and Punishment, is the greatest novel ever written

 

[Jredbaron96]

the great replacement essay isn’t there (although that’s not really white nationalist literature so much as an accurate summation of the goals of the left to seize political power)

The Great Replacement is a myth peddled by people who don't understand how race, genetics, demographics, or culture works.

it’s not a flaw to have a different writing style in foreign languages.

The problem isn't that is has a different style, lol. The problem is that German writing (specifically Marx) is so incredibly dry and long-winded. Same with Clauzewitz; never use a paragraph when a page will suffice.

Except unlike MacArthur Milley just hasn’t won any wars.

No single general wins or loses in modern warfare, modern being defined as beginning with Napoleon. Napoleon created the division, the corps and professional staff to tend to 'em and amongst other radical innovations a most effective use of artillery. Indeed the general in chief who was also the leader of the nation died with Hitler and Tojo and suffers severely with Kim Jong Fat.

And also unlike MacArthur he was publicly positioning to refuse orders to put down violent riots that threatened the peace and safety of the country.

Milley took the JCS with him in openly and publicly opposing Trumpolini in these respects.

SecDef Esper the USMA grad stated at a Pentagon press conference the conditions of the Insurrection Act did not exist as Trump wanted to apply it.

The JCS in their Memorandum To The Joint Force after January 6th, led by the Chairman GEN Milley, state, “The violent riot in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021 was a direct assault on the U.S. Congress, the Capitol building, and our Constitutional process. We witnessed actions inside the Capitol building that were inconsistent with the rule of law. The rights of freedom of speech and assembly do not give anyone the right to resort to violence, sedition and insurrection. On January 20, 2021, in accordance with the Constitution, confirmed by the states and the courts, and certified by Congress, President-elect Biden will be inaugurated and will become the 46th Commander in Chief.”

Joint Chiefs Of Staff Issue Memo Condemning Capitol Riot

"The rights of freedom of speech and assembly do not give anyone the right to resort to violence, sedition and insurrection," the memo reads.

And Biden will remain so until the Constitutional end of his term.

So you and Trumpolini need to take this to the bank: The United States military will never act to destroy democracy yet it will definitely act to restore a democracy lost or in a clear and present peril. Since January 20th the Pentagon is in a solid unity and loyalty to the Constitution on this under Austin, Milley and the Joint Chiefs.

The only violence was carried out by feds.

 

[Tangmo]

The only violence was carried out by feds.

Trump's flatfoot feds in unmarked uniforms and vehicles in the cities if that might be your reference.

My post referenced the cities in passing while I focused on the Riot, Sedition and Insurrection of January 6th.

That was the Proud Bois, the Boo Hoo Bois and the Oats Eaters or the Oath Keepers whatever they call themselves. The JCS Memo to the Joint Force to include of course CJCS GEN Milley called 'em what they are, ie, rioters, seditionists, insurrectionists against the people and our Constitution.

If Trumpolini and his Bois try some kind of coup over the summer Trump might do well to have a MOE aircraft standing by to escape the scene and the country because the government will have its decisive response. Your Bois would be making a huge mistake of their own too.

Their talking about Trump back in the WH when Biden is living there Constitutionally leaves LEA, NG and perhaps the Military District of Washington active duty Infantry and MP forces no choice. If your Bois are ready to go then they're going to be goners for sure. The world has to see and know Biden has control over the Insurrectionists and their guy PutinTrump.

That's complete bullshit, as all the injured Capitol Police can attest, but what else is new.

 

[NWRatCon]

These are the words of extremism.


Possibly, for tons of people I've met over my almost 60 years, due to personal issues or personal experiences. Or sometimes it's simply taught.

You left out one word: "These are the words of ignorant extremism." Every word is a lie created in a phantasmagoria of fascist fever dream, unconnected to the real world and targeting the actual foundations of our society.

 

[NWRatCon]

Why are you guys arguing with someone who is being willfully obtuse?

It's worse than that. It's not obtuse, it's deliberately mendacious. He knows that he's lying, but doesn't care about that. He thinks of himself as a mini Tucker, but with even less erudition.

In my line of work I never found an Annapolis, USAFA, officer or General who were not brighter than most of the people in the room. I can assume West Point grads are the same. I never did come over to the officer hating side.
