Gen. Milley
Wow!
In catholic high school in the early 60s, we learned about religion and, almost as sport to annoy the Holy Cross fathers and brothers, we made up silly hypotheticals about what was a sin and what might mitigate them.
As we learned about government and the military and how things were supposed to work, we sort of did the same thing. I recall, however, being clearly surprised at the notion that a soldier had a duty, an obligation enshrined in law, to disobey an illegal order.
I carried that with me when I later joined the Navy. Of course it never applied to anything of which I was ever aware.
Fast forward to the waning days of the previous administration.
The Chairman
Of the Joint Chiefs
Gathered his inner circle together
And made them each, individually and out loud
Say they understood that
And further, should contact Milley
If they ever got an order
To use nukes.
WOW.
I recall first hand the Cuban Missle Crisis. That was scary. This sounds at LEAST as scary.
We owe General Milley a debt. Say what you might about him or the military in general, he was prepared to stand tall should the need arise.
