I agree with you to a certain extent, and I think that now that the danger is past Milley should resign but you guys are purposefully ignoring the circumstances of why he did it.I don't recall refusing to respond to anything.
I don't care much for the authors of this "book".
Bob Woodward and national political reporter Robert Costa. IMO who knows how much truth is actually in it.
What do you make of Vindman's comment?
"If this is true GEN Milley must resign," Vindman tweeted. "He usurped civilian authority, broke Chain of Command, and violated the sacrosanct principle of civilian control over the military. It’s an extremely dangerous precedent. You can’t simply walk away from that."
Milleys Phone Calls:
"General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be OK," Milley told him during the first call, the book said. "We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you."
"Gen. Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we're going to attack, I'm going to call you ahead of time," Milley added, as reported by the book, "Peril," which is set to be released next week. "It's not going to be a surprise."
You’re right that Milley violated the principles of civilian control, but at that point the sitting president had just incited a violent insurrection to stay in power so the rules had basically gone out the window.
I do not have enough eye rolls for Republicans who excoriated Vindman as a traitor when he said the president shouldn’t be able to use his office to extort foreign powers for his personal benefit but who turn to him now.
