Milley-tary Madness Woke bigotry and white flag supremacy on full display. by Lloyd Billingsley

Joe Biden turns 82 on November 20 and until January 20 he is still president of the United States. In the wake of the Trump landslide, the senile Democrat may feel a need to regain the spotlight. Maybe some cracked general thinks Biden might attack, say, North Korea, and assure Kim Jong Un’s crew that if that were to happen he would tip them off. Such a thing did go down in 2020.
Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, likened President Donald Trump to Hitler and Trump supporters to brownshirts. No Joint Chiefs boss had ever done anything like that, and there was more to it. Gen. Milley also hinted that he would tip off China in the event of an American attack, which he thought Trump might be planning. Milley actually called Chinese Gen. Li Zuocheng and defended the call as conducting the duties of his office. In effect, Milley appointed himself commander-in-chief, a move not exactly authorized by the Uniform Code of Military Justice or consistent with common sense. Like Biden, Milley must believe that the leaders of a genocidal Stalinist slave state are “not bad folks.”
Last year, China sent a surveillance balloon over most of the continental United States, including military bases. It was first sighted by a private citizen, picked up by national media, and only then acknowledged by the Biden-Harris administration. China claimed that the balloon was for “mainly meteorological purposes,” that the craft had “limited self-steering capability,” and that “westerlies” blew it off course.
According to Dr. Marina Miron, a researcher in defense studies at Kings College London, the balloon could be controlled by operators on the ground, who could raise or lower the craft to pick up different wind currents. “You would want to be able to make it linger over a spot to collect data,” Miron told the BBC. “This is something you can do with a balloon which you cannot do with a satellite.” Gen. Milley echoed China’s claim that the balloon had blown off course.
“Those winds are very high,” Milley told CBS News, “the particular motor on that aircraft can’t go against those winds at that altitude.” Pressed as to whether the aircraft was on a Chinese intelligence mission, Milley said, “I would say it was a spy balloon that we know with high degree of certainty got no intelligence, and didn’t transmit any intelligence back to China.” General Milley did not explain how, exactly, he knew that China gained no intelligence. Based on his record, the people have cause to wonder.
Back in 2013, Gen. Milley said “conditions are set” to win the war in Afghanistan. The conditions weren’t set – except for a defeat. In 2021 Gen. Milley presided over Biden’s disastrous withdrawal, leaving tens of millions in military gear behind and 13 Americans dead. Joe Biden pronounced it an “extraordinary success,” and Gen. Milley called the withdrawal “a logistical success but a strategic failure.”
It’s hard to find a statement like that from Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe, who took down Hitler’s National Socialist regime.
Milley presided over a humiliating surrender that made the Taliban, a belch from the ninth century, the best armed terrorist force in the world. Yet Milley boasts more U.S. medals than Eisenhower. See here and here, and consider other contrasts.
Gen. Eisenhower graduated from West Point in 1915 and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Army. Mark Milley received his commission from the Army ROTC at Princeton, where he majored in political science. He earned master’s degrees from Columbia the Naval War College, (international relations) and the Naval War College, in national security and strategic studies.
At West Point, Eisenhower played football, hailed by the New York Times as “one of the more promising backs” in the east. At Princeton Milley played hockey, a rough sport in which the game does not proceed until a penalized player is sent off the ice. Since retirement, it has been smooth skating for Milley, with no investigations over his collaboration with China, America’s principal adversary and a nuclear power. Milley is now a senior adviser to JPMorgan Chase bank, on the faculties of Princeton and Georgetown, and raking in the dough on the speaking circuit.
In his farewell address in 1961, Dwight Eisenhower said “our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction.” On the other hand, “this conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience,” so “the potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” Ike was right. Misplaced power has marched on.
Recent years have seen the rise of the military-woke complex, a fundamental transformation of the armed forces into an indoctrination center for critical race theory, woke superstition, and DEI dogma. As the people should know, such a military has consequences.
Facing lethal foes with less than the best is like playing poker with the second-best hand. You have two choices, bluff or fold. President Trump has his work cut out for him.
