Trump Is Right. Mark Milley Is, In Fact, a ******* Idiot.

Quote:Speaking at his Mar-a-Lago club on Saturday night, former President Donald J. Trump caused a stir by referring to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as “a ******* idiot.”

Trump recalled an Afghanistan conversation with Milley, America’s highest ranking military official:

“Sir, sir. It’s cheaper to leave the equipment [in Afghanistan] than to bring it,” was the advice from Milley.

“You think it’s cheaper to leave it there so they can have it than to fill it up with a half a tank…?” Trump questioned. “That’s when I realized he was a ******* idiot.”

But is General Milley really a ******* idiot?

All signs point to “yes”. Here are some examples.

Afghanistan.
Unable to convince his predecessor of the need to leave billions of dollars of U.S. equipment in the hands of the Taliban, Milley continued the feckless advice into the Biden Oval Office. Of course, Biden obliged, leaving behind not just the equipment, but American citizens, too.

Today, nearly 100 days after the so-called final withdrawal of the U.S. from Afghanistan, there are still hundreds of Americans in the country, unable to leave.

But the botched plot hasn’t been the only indicator of Milley being a ******* idiot.

China.
Take the disgraced General’s insistence in usurping the formal chain-of-command and colluding with the Chinese Communist Party as a prime example. Yes, that actually happened, as Milley himself boasted in Bob Woodward and Bob Costa’s book ‘Peril‘, which begins:

Two days after the January 6, 2021, violent assault on the United States Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump, General Mark Milley, the nation’s senior military officer and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, placed an urgent call on a top secret, back-channel line at 7:03 a.m. to his Chinese counterpart, General Li Zuocheng, chief of the Joint Staff of the People’s Liberation Army.

Later, the book reveals the conversation between the pair:

“General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay. We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you.

“General 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. It’s not going to be a surprise. It’s not going to be a bolt out of the blue.

“If there was a war or some kind of kinetic action between the United States and China, there’s going to be a buildup, just like there has been always in history. “And there’s going to be tension. And I’m going to be communicating with you pretty regularly,” Milley said. “So this is not one of those times. It’s going to be okay. We’re not going to have a fight.”

“Okay,” General Li said, “I take you at your word.”

Of course there was never actually a chance of President Trump starting a kinetic war with China in the final fourteen days of his Presidency. But Milley couldn’t help but signal confusion, weakness, and deference to his CCP counterpart.

There are, in fact, 302 references to Milley in Woodward’s book, including the page 17 claim that he called Admiral Philip Davidson – U.S. commander of the Indo-Pacific Command that oversees China – and convinced him to postpone critical Freedom of Navigation exercises around Taiwan and the South China Sea. Milley, once again, was afraid of China and projecting such fear extremely publicly.

Little wonder the Chinese have felt comfortable sabre-rattling over the territory, performing their military exercises in the absence of U.S. commitment.

And the ******* idiocy is not a recent thing for Milley. He has plenty of form, as evidenced through a 2017 speech to the Royal United Services Institute, wherein he stated:

“I would hesitate to call China an enemy. Some would say adversary. Others would say enemy. Some would say hostile. I think they are what the slide implies.”

He also foolishly claimed to “take [China] at their word,” over the nation’s military expansion and global ambitions.

Black Lives Matter.
Another Peril anecdote reveals how President Trump and aide Stephen Miller wanted to bring the murderous Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 to an end as quickly as possible.

In total, at least 25 people died as a result of the riots, including 8-year-old Secoriea Turner, black policeman David Dorn, and business owner Victor Cazares Jr.

Furthermore, over $2 billion in damage was caused in 2020 alone.

But when confronted with these issues, Milley not only dismissed Trump and Miller, but snapped at the latter, telling him to “shut the **** up,” before moving the conversation onto excusing the violent, riotous, murderous behavior of BLM:

“That’s pent up in communities that have been experiencing what they perceive to be police brutality,” he said.

Shortly after, the nation would learn that Milley had been introducing far-left “critical race theory” education into the military.

“I want to understand White rage. And I’m White,” he told a Congressional committee, before boasting of his knowledge of Mao Zedong, Karl Marx, and Vladimir Lenin.

******* idiot.

January 6th.
And though there are plenty more examples, the last I’ll use is that of January 6th. Milley seems involved in both failing to prepare for the events of the day, failing to react fast enough, failing to follow the chain-of-command, and giving succor to violent riots in the nation’s capitol given his approach to Lafayette Square just a few months prior.

As BLM rioters burned down St. John’s Church and laid siege to the White House, Milley made public pronouncements decrying the use of force to clear the area and bring safety back to downtown Washington, D.C. – a truly bizarre statement for the nation’s top military official to make.

Fast-forward just six months and Milley found himself on the phone with Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) around 3:29pm. By this point in time, FBI-linked troublemakers in amongst the pro-Trump crowd in D.C. had already breached the Capitol building. It had been nearly three hours. The conversation went like this:

“Mark, you need to get the Guard down here,”

“I know it,” Milley said. “We’re working on it.”

“I know I was yelling at you for what happened in June,” Slotkin said, referring to the Lafayette Square episode. “But now, we need you and we need you here now. And we need you here with the military. And get everything you can down here right now.”

“Elissa, I get it.”

“I know how hypocritical this sounds,” she said. She had decried the military’s involvement with the Floyd protests in Lafayette Square. “You’re right,” Milley said. “It does a little bit. But we’ll be there.”

So soon after distancing himself from the use of military force to put down protests in D.C., Milley was now promising to “get there with as much stuff as we can as fast as we can.”

But instead of hanging up the phone and actually trying to get resources to the Capitol, Milley and Slotkin turned their attention to politics. Specifically, to President Donald J. Trump.

“Is it true Trump said no [to deploying the National Guard]?” Slotkin asked. A question that would soon be shown to be risible, even by Milley’s own admission.

“I purposely did not go to Trump,” Milley admitted. “I went to Pence. I informed Pence we were sending the Guard. Pence welcomed that.”

“It was smart you didn’t involve Trump,” Slotkin said. “Good on you for not involving Trump.”

But as The National Pulse reported shortly after January 6th, it was President Trump who had wanted the Guard deployed in the first instance, and left-wing figures like D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Slotkin – by her words the previous June – in opposition.

“I don’t think Trump would necessarily say no,” Milley explained.

“Why not?” Slotkin asked.

Milley admitted that days earlier, he had told Trump they were going to be sending some Guard to support the Capitol Police and Washington, D.C., police on January 6th. Trump was supportive saying, “Good, good, do what you need to do.”

Actually, Trump said “You’re going to need 10,000 people… You do what you need to do. You do what you need to do… You’re going to need 10,000.”

Milley, amongst the others, failed to prepare despite their Commander-in-Chief’s insistence.

Because he’s a ******* idiot.

I wish we still had a real president

God I miss him........

And that is what I love about the guy. No pretense.

He didn’t even say “end quote” after that sentence

Unfortunately, I think that statement could be made about the top leadership in several branches of our military.

The last three Chiefs of Naval Operations (CNOs)--Greenert, Richardson, and Gilday--have been non-warriors who really do not seem to have comprehended what combat means, and a 4th (Moran) was nominated but stepped aside before he took office. The Navy has basically screwed the Marines out of their historic mission--amphibious warfare--and the Army has been all too willing to take them on as basically baby army with a baby air force to help out with things the Army can't handle. The current Marine Commandant, Berger, has come up with a series of nutty ideas about future missions for the Corps, basically turning them into little more than boy scouts with BB guns.

As a Navy guy, I don't have as much familiarity with the Army and Air Force guys, but I get through the grapevine that they are not much, if any, better. As far as I can tell, they are all ******* idiots.

Those of us that like Trump appreciate that he is unfiltered and brutally honest. Those that hate him can't stand that he is unfiltered and brutally honest.

I heard the same point put slightly differently. Trump opponents take him literally but not seriously. Trump supporters take him seriously but not literally.

I have two classifications for idiots.

Malevolent idiots and benevolent idiots.

Milley is a malevolent idiot. He does not follow the US Constitution. For his Chinese call alone he should have been court-martialed

So the question then becomes are we concerned with decorum and the feelings of those who hate him, and by extension, us?

This country has been ass raped by the Red 5th Column in our media, schools, among corporate CEO's and their blind profiteering, and by the whores and pedophiles in Washington who cross party lines to cover each other's entitled asses.

Quit wishing! It's time to pray that we have enough time to clean house!

New Zealand and Australia are toast, Europe is as bloated and immoral as the U.S., and Russia will just nuke up, expand borders and hunker down and try outwaiting China.

The great rescuers in the U.S., the ones who saved Europe twice in 40 years, have lost their toughness are more concerned with how they orgasm and what gender they orgasm with, than with lethal defense.

Top it off with a dimwit crook in the WH and our chances of surviving the next decade are highly questionable. If you can call it a saving grace, at least we have enough clean water that our enemies using nukes on us is fairly remote. They want our resource rich country intact, in spite of calling us the great polluters.

I just hope I live long enough to witness the vapid expressions of disbelief when the first people the Chinese eliminate are the whiny bitchy Dems which would never be tolerated in China since China has no homosexuals, transgendered persons, or ethnic minorities, and since Communists actually expect people to work, and do so with little reward.

Is there a will to fight in America when we would be defending those who seek to take away our rights, our property, and who mock our faith and those in our midst who create viruses lethal to humanity and they are our leaders?

I have profound doubts! Is what we currently have ruling us less evil than China? Our nation in 1941 was clearly less evil than Nazi Germany and what the Japanese did in Manchuria. We were the world's brightest hope. We are no longer the New Jerusalem, but an unholy combination of Las Vegas, Hollywood, Sodom, Mengele's Death Camp experiments, and Disneyland. "It is better to have a millstone tied around your neck and be tossed into the sea than that you harm one of my little ones!"

People are willing to give their lives for their faith, their ideals, and to make a better world for their children. Will any of these be accomplished by fighting to preserve this administration's vision of the nation, or world? I won't hold my breath for your response.
