Gen. Milley, on his way out the door, was recently honored by France for “defending French values”. That seems appropriate as Milley is a coward. Maybe that’s not completely fair because most career upper-level feds act like this. They pander to whoever is in power at any given time.
When the Dems were in the ascendancy, Milley quickly figured out the right way to jump and postured on BLM and white rage. Now that the Republicans have been rising, the careerist brass will pivot on drag shows.
Gen. Mark Milley, the nation’s highest ranking military officer, defended the Pentagon’s decision to cancel a drag show on a U.S. Air Force base, calling it the “absolute right thing to do” in an interview Monday with CNN.
Milley said he backed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s cancellation of a drag show that was scheduled for last week at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, saying they both shared concerns about the event taking place on a military installation.
“I think it is the absolute right thing to do,” he told CNN’s Oren Liebermann in Normandy, France, ahead of the 79th anniversary of D-Day.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff also said drag shows “were never part of DOD policy to begin with and they’re certainly not funded by federal funds.”
If the Democrats held the House, the drag shows would be going forward. Since they don’t, there’s an attempt to appease some Republicans on one minor issue even as military wokeness overall rolls forward.
The trouble with Milley isn’t that he’s woke. To be woke, he’d have to believe in something. The trouble is that he, like most of the upper ranks, are political generals, they have no interest in fighting wars, they navigate the D.C. cocktail party circuit, they play generals on television, but they don’t actually do anything.
Gen. Milley is a shallow political general who plays a part, that of a tough commander with an interest in history and a vision for adapting the military to meet modern challenges, but it’s a role. He pivoted on BLM, now he’ll pivot on drag shows, because identity politics is just more politics to him.
A perfect example of what Ayn Rand called the “second hander”.
“A [second-hander] is one who regards the consciousness of other men as superior to his own and to the facts of reality. It is to a [second-hander] that the moral appraisal of himself by others is a primary concern which supersedes truth, facts, reason, logic. The disapproval of others is so shatteringly terrifying to him that nothing can withstand its impact within his consciousness; thus he would deny the evidence of his own eyes and invalidate his own consciousness for the sake of any stray charlatan’s moral sanction. It is only a [second-hander] who could conceive of such absurdity as hoping to win an intellectual argument by hinting: “But people won’t like you!” – Ayn Rand
“they navigate the D.C. cocktail party circuit, they play generals on television, but they don’t actually do anything.”
Takes a second-hander to know a second-hander. We are so glad you think so highly of yourself.
In your case you are the faux intellectual second-hander navigating these pages with your pronouncements on Judeo-Christianity, your self-involved manufactured intellect, all adorned with the certain knowledge that you are correct in all you have to say. The rest of us, the poor unwashed God believers, are simply not worthy of your towering intellect.
But in reality, you don’t actually do anything.
I had a CO who spent more time complaining about how we were going to mess up his promotion chances than doing anything else. Unfortunately, there are a lot of worthless tools in the military like Mark Milley, same in the corporate world.
Yes, they tend to infest government service especially.
That’s because the corporate world looks at the bottom line. The military doesn’t need to.
I’m old. I remember when Bob Hope and other entertainers visited the troops at bases in America and
throughout the world (not only during war times). Now they get drag queens. what’s the message?
Who knows what the message is with trannies, other than to shove perversion down our throats.
the message is that the military exists to service leftist agendas and the troops had better shut up and take it
Patton would have him busted down to Private and peeling Potato’s
We need a better understanding of Milley’s willingness to confide in the Red Chinese military about President Trump. If Milley was only a coward, he’d have steered clear of this and kept his head down while working under Trump. That “T” word comes to mind.
“Maybe that’s not completely fair.”
Haha. Ha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
How many dicks have you sucked today?
Whoever down voted me are dick lickers.
He has principles and, if you don’t like them, he’ll change them. Fortunately, he’ll soon be out of there. Unfortunately, his replacement will likely be even worse.
I don’t know what Milley is,but I most Certainly Know what he ISN”T!!!He isn’ MacArthur,Patton,or Eisenhower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eisenhower was a political general by and large.
Which is exactly why FDR and Marshall chose Eisenhower for Supreme Allied Commander – Europe: because he was level-headed. That’s why he was right for the job. He wouldn’t fly-off the handle at Allies or subordinates. Yes, he was a political general. So what?
I’m am an old man .I’ve been involved in deaths during my service in the USMC. I do not say this lightly. I would pull the trap door handle on the traitor.
A$$holes like Milley are the result of Obama’s purges – no REAL soldier was allowed to stay or advance.
Since World War 2 the flag officers of the US military have become entirely political creatures and totally worthless as both soldiers and human beings
A true patriot will join the military for the survival of his nation. A “sunshine” patriot will only work for his own survival.
Political generals. That’s a whole topic in itself, historically speaking. Lots of bad cases I’ve run across while reading history.
