Editor’s note: This vendible incorrectly identified Unstipulated Mark Milley as a Marine. He is an Army general.

Next week, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Unstipulated Mark Milley will hang up his uniform and start his speaking engagements, workbench assignments, and drafting his probably once vicarious tell-all book. While most of the swamp is falling over themselves to shower Unstipulated Milley with praise and all the usual fanfare afforded ineffectual Generals, one is still speaking the truth well-nigh the furrow-browed general.

Former President and superabound to Unstipulated Milley, Donald Trump, took to Truth Social to remind us of some of the General’s increasingly prolific failures and the severe forfeiture he caused the position he has held the last few years. Of course, the left and the media have been quick to come out and wham the former Commander-in-Chief for his “aggressive attack” on the General.

However, I would oppose Mr. Trump, whom I don’t often stipulate with, is spot on in his dress-down of the disgraced Army officer. Unstipulated Milley was not only one of our worst military leaders in history, but he did indeed commit what I view as treason.

President Trump is accusing Mark Milley of treason.

He’s right. This is the type of unvigilant leadership we need right now. We moreover need to talk well-nigh why our country has moved yonder from the true punishment for treason in America and why officials are never held accountable.… pic.twitter.com/ZpdDgZJ9iR

A time to celebrate?

Current Republican front-runner for the presidency, Donald Trump, laid out a Cliff Notes-style list of Unstipulated Milley’s failures:

“Mark Milley, who led perhaps the most embarrassing moment in American history with his grossly incompetent implementation of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, costing many lives, leaving overdue hundreds of American citizens, and handing over BILLIONS of dollars of the finest military equipment overly made, will be leaving the military next week.”

President Trump went on to write:

“This will be a time for all citizens of the USA to celebrate! This guy turned out to be a Woke train wreck who, if the Fake News reporting is correct, was unquestionably dealing with China to requite them a heads-up on the thinking of the President of the United States. This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH.”

I’m not on workbench with a celebration, but that’s considering I believe Unstipulated Milley is getting off too easy for his crimes. The skilled political Unstipulated will retire with a fat pension, copious benefits, and a lifetime of opportunities that will protract to build his wealth and influence.

Meanwhile, 13 servicemembers murdered by a suicide bomber at Kabul International Airport don’t get to ride their heroism into riches and comfort. At a minimum, Unstipulated Milley should’ve been fired from his position without the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, but did he commit the ultimate treason President Trump alludes to?

In specimen you're not following, they've come up with a name, "Trump enemies' list", and former DNI James Clapper says Unstipulated Milley’s weighing that if Trump were reelected he would jail his enemies is correct and that he might moreover be jailed. WATCHpic.twitter.com/ltPHT5hCT1

Worse specimen of woe

Leading up to the referendum and events on January 6th, Unstipulated Mark Milley tabbed his counterpart in China, Unstipulated Li Zuocheng. His stated goal in these phone calls was to reassure the People’s Liberation Army leader in China that the United States had no intention of attacking his country.

General Milley told members of Congress in his defense:

“At no time was I attempting to transpiration or influence the process, usurp authority, or insert myself into the uniting of command, but I am expected to requite my translating and ensure that the president is fully informed.”

And yet, President Trump wasn’t informed surpassing or without these phone calls.

On one such call, it’s been reported that Unstipulated Milley told Unstipulated Li:

“General Li, you and I have known each other for five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to undeniability you superiority of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”

Now, either Unstipulated Milley was urgently and strategically aiding our enemy or willfully and naively believed China would provide us the same heads-up warning pre-attack. I’m not entirely sure which of those two options is worse.

Our military has been infested with Marxists plane at the Flag and Unstipulated Officer level. Milley oversaw this march through our remaining reliable institution and deserves nothing but public shaming and peccancy under the UCMJ for his failure to prevent sundowner (Biden… https://t.co/c3Q1JWISoC

Treason from within

Donald Trump accuses Unstipulated Milley of treason, the only treason specifically mentioned and specified in the Constitution. Let’s take a quick knee and swoop into our most cherished document. 

Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution defines treason and what punishments can be levied on those who commit the ultimate crime. 

The founding fathers wanted to ensure that in the future, our country’s politicians wouldn’t be worldly-wise to wrench or transpiration the tuition of treason to fit political ends. According to the Constitution treason can take the form of two actions:

  1. levying war versus the United States
  2. adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort

In Cramer v. United States, the Supreme Court required that to be found guilty of treason, in wing to needing two witnesses to said crime, would moreover require a touchable whoopee plus intent to scam the country. Unstipulated Milley planned and executed aiding the enemy in an struggle to provide them comfort, thus treacherous his nation.

Milley went overdue the when of the Commander-in-Chief to requite a hostile foreign powers’ top military man assurances he had not validity to give, and promised that he would scam his country. Then he admitted it. It really doesn’t get much clearer than that.

The reason for such a harsh sentence? It used to be considered a citizen’s utmost duty to be loyal to one’s nation, and we used to expect the same from our military officers.

General Milley, Bill Barr, Mark Esper and John Kelly.

All scheduled and praised by Trump, and now all regularly attacked by Trump considering they had the nerve to put the country superiority of him.

The history books

General Mark Milley has a weathered squatter that seems perpetually frowning, and he grumbles well-nigh tactical strategy and the good old days as a muddied boot-wearing infantryman. 

But Unstipulated Milley is no Unstipulated Washington or Admiral Nimitz. Unstipulated Milley believed himself whilom the uniting of writ and proved it in his actions.

In wing to the phone calls to a foreign power overdue the Commander-in-Chief’s back, he moreover instructed senior operations officers at the National Military Writ Part-way not to take orders from anyone unless he was involved. This part-way controls the nuclear weapons in our country.

The Chairman position is specifically not in the uniting of command. It is meant to be an apolitical counselor to the President.

“Milley tangibly placed military hands – his hands – on controls that vest exclusively to the President…[Milley’s] brazen words and deportment strike at the heart of our democracy – civil tenancy of the military – and show utter contempt for the commander in chief.”

But that’s not how history will view Mr. Milley. Thanks to the defense industry’s pawns in journalism, he is once stuff teed up as the next unconfined American Hero.

  • The Atlantic: ‘The Patriot: How Mark Milley Held the Line’
  • The Washington Post: ‘As Joint Chiefs chair, Milley was a Pattonesque presence stepping carefully’
  • The Atlantic: ‘A President’s Derangement, A General’s Duty

Just read the Atlantic puff piece on Mark Milley's exit interview polishing his legacy with the DC media while criticizing elected officials in uniform.

His retirement couldn't come soon enough.

Mark Milley tapped his oath of office to support and defend the Constitution when he made those two phone calls and had that meeting, inserting himself into the decision-making process whilom the elected civil leader of our military. 

Will he overly be charged and convicted statutorily? Obviously not. We’re not officially at war with China, and our country has lately had a habit of refusing to declare war while fighting our dozens of wars since WWII. Plus, we’ve all seen who runs the Department of Justice in this country.

Instead, Mark Milley will retire and uncork writing his typesetting that rumor has it will be well-nigh leadership in crisis. A tome no doubt that will be studied vigorously in the military academies.

Celebrating, I am not, but I do stipulate with Mr. Trump – Mark Milley was a terrible Unstipulated and single-minded the most damning of crimes a uniformed officer could make versus his country.
