General Mark Milley should face serious consequences for going rogue

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley should be fired over the Afghanistan debacle.  If the allegations in the Bob Woodward and Robert Costa’s book Peril are true, General Milley should also face court martial. 

 His rationale was that he worried about Trump’s sanity. So Milley went rogue because he thought Trump might go rogue.

 Perhaps Milley had another motive as well, keeping his job. Look at the timeline. Milley talked to Woodward after the election.  Milley was a Trump appointee, he was in the infamous photo walking with Trump across Lafayette Square during the George Floyd riots.  Biden’s team wanted to clean house of all Trump appointees.  What better way to show he wasn’t “Trump’s man” and ingratiate himself with the new team?

 General Milley will finally be forced to answer for his actions, when he goes before the Senate Armed Services Committee later this month.

 President Biden, his Cabinet and his generals have all circled the wagons, so no one is being held responsible for the greatest military and diplomatic blunder in modern American history. It’s time to hold our leaders accountable.
