Top general responds to reports he feared Trump would use military after losing

America's top general on Wednesday spoke publicly for the first time about whether he feared then-President Donald Trump would try to involve the military in the aftermath of the 2020 election, as reported in a newly-released book.

While Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley, at a rare Pentagon news conference, declined to comment on specific claims made in the book, he and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Wednesday were emphatic that the military is and ought to remain a strictly "apolitical" institution.

"I, the other members of the Joint Chiefs, and all of us in uniform, we take an oath, an oath to a document, an oath to the Constitution of the United States, and not one time do we violate that," Milley told reporters asking about the book excerpts. "The entire time, from time of commissioning to today, I can say with certainty that every one of us maintained our oath of allegiance to that document, the Constitution, everything that's contained within it," he said, referring to the Joint Chiefs.

"I want you to know, and I want everyone to know, I want America to know, that the United States military is an apolitical institution -- we were then, we are now -- and our oath is to the Constitution, not to any individual at all," he said. "And the military did not and will not and should not ever get involved in domestic politics. We don't arbitrate elections. That's the job of the judiciary and the legislature and the American people. It is not the job of the U.S. military. We stayed out of politics, we're an apolitical institution."

Just what we always knew, Milley would never call Trump a Nazi. Phil Rucker is a piece of ****.

I AM TALKING ABOUT YOUR WORDS, "as reported in a newly-released book." Phillip Rucker and Carol Loenig LIED about what General Mark Milley said. That's why General Lloyd Austin REITERATED, "General Milley does not have a political bone in his body." Does that sound like someone who would rant about Trump being a Nazi? To me it does not, but them I'm a little smarter than you Ron.

Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, feared former president Donald Trump would attempt a coup Steve.

The military did not, and will not, and should not ever get involved in domestic politics,” Milley said, speaking at a Pentagon news conference. “We don’t arbitrate elections. That’s the job of the judiciary and the legislature and the American people. It is not the job of the U.S. military. We stayed out of politics. We’re an apolitical institution.”

I’ve read Mao Zedong. I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist,” Milley told the House Armed Services Committee last month. “So what is wrong with understanding … the country which we are here to defend?”

Trump wanted the allegiance of that General And Trump got an answer he did not like “NO”!

"We don’t arbitrate elections." That means that if Trump had invoked the Insurrection Act, Milley would have followed orders. There was no talk of a "coup." Rucker and Leonnig's book is a work of fiction and you are a sucker to believe it Ron.

YOUR WORDS: "We don’t arbitrate elections." That means that if Trump had invoked the Insurrection Act, Milley would have followed orders.

NO Steve, take a good at these words:

The military oath taken at the time of induction into the military is as follows:

"I,____________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the regulations and the The military oath taken at the time of induction into the military is as follows:

Do you know what I'm showing you, Steve?




Friday, July 23rd 2021 at 10:28PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
The only way to keep that oath Ron, is to follow the commander-in-chief's orders no matter what. To put one's own judgement over Trump would have been sedition.

Friday, July 23rd 2021 at 10:50PM

I see that you have seen this line: “I will obey the orders of the President of the United States...”, but the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) Article 90 states that military personnel needs to obey the "lawful orders of his/her superior.

Since you don't have a clue what I am talking about, I will keep it simple, The duty and obligation to obey lawful orders creates no grey area for discussion, The Orders Has to a lawful orders and by the way Steve, why would Trump give a “unlawful orders” to his Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff anyway?


Friday, July 23rd 2021 at 11:17PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
The order of the President is by definition "lawful" Ron.

Friday, July 23rd 2021 at 11:24PM
Steve Williams
Not if TRUMP tries to use The United States Military against the people of The United States of America "THAT WOULD BE A UNLAWFUL ORDER." Steve but once again Democracy won in this case and WON BIG, I also see that you're as- can't stand that victory over TRUMP.

(LAUGHING REALLY HARD AT THAT BULL💩)



Friday, July 23rd 2021 at 11:39PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Trump never issued any controversial military order, just like every other modern President before him. But we know that we've always had a President that could execute nuclear orders and we've always accepted that reality. Ron, only now have you and the other would be seditionists arisen.

Saturday, July 24th 2021 at 12:12AM
Steve Williams
Trump would not use nuclear power on the people of The United States now, would he?

WOW!!! Why are you running from the question, Steve?


Saturday, July 24th 2021 at 12:36AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
What would have been an unlawful order by Trump and who would decide Ron? You?

Saturday, July 24th 2021 at 12:54AM
Steve Williams
NO Slick! Because that order would not have been carried out by The Military.


Saturday, July 24th 2021 at 1:02AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
What order is that Ron?

Saturday, July 24th 2021 at 3:12AM
Steve Williams
I wish Trump would have seized all the voting machines. He had the authority.

Saturday, July 24th 2021 at 3:14AM
Steve Williams
I am talking about that “UNLAWFUL ORDER," did you forget what the topic is Steve. Put that 💩 so you can concentrate on what you’re talking about, WOW!!!


Sunday, July 25th 2021 at 1:28PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
There was no unlawful order Ron.

Sunday, July 25th 2021 at 2:07PM
Steve Williams
I know… Democracy Prevails.


Sunday, July 25th 2021 at 3:15PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
No unlawful order was ever contemplated.

P.S. Democracy is Dead. You killed it Ron when you rigged the election with out-of-control ballot mailing.

Monday, July 26th 2021 at 5:25AM
Steve Williams
If Trump did give that “UNLAWFUL ORDER," will it be carried out by the military and that’s what this blog is all about.

I for one don’t have that power to kill democracy but together we can save democracy.


Monday, July 26th 2021 at 12:40PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Do you consider invoking the Insurrection Act an unlawful order Ron? It's there for a purpose and many of us MAGA would have cheered it's order.

Trump should have seized all the elections equipment. Then Arizona would not have the power it does right now, that enables them withholding the routers.

Monday, July 26th 2021 at 4:01PM
Steve Williams
Arizona will have to replace all of those voting machines which cost millions of dollars, The people of Arizona say thanks Trump!


Monday, July 26th 2021 at 4:04PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
You and they have no idea how to certify the machines. You're a bunch of dodos.

Monday, July 26th 2021 at 4:20PM
Steve Williams
That my boy is NOT my problem!!!


Monday, July 26th 2021 at 4:58PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Then stop complaining Ron.

Monday, July 26th 2021 at 11:36PM
Steve Williams
Are you going to give Arizona the $6 million of what? If not then we are in the same boat.


Monday, July 26th 2021 at 11:57PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Arizona doesn't need $6 million Ron. The routers are fine.

Tuesday, July 27th 2021 at 12:00AM
Steve Williams
If that’s true then you tell Arizona that they don’t need the $6 million dollars and you can work that out with them.

Smells like something foul here. This is Republican State VS a Republican experienced poll counter and they still can't get it together yet, CREDIBILITY who's going to believe that late inaccurate recount BULL💩.

Maricopa County Arizona is telling you and the recount committee, it is over and they are cutting their cost.

That looks like the Republicans that hired this group is telling the other Republican group they hired due to your failure to produce, they boss cutting cost because of the credibility issues.

Who going to believe them now, 8 months after the election, would you STEVE?


Tuesday, July 27th 2021 at 2:35PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
It's simple Ron. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is refusing to comply with lawful subpoenas, as they have been since December 2020. They are guilty as hell.

Tuesday, July 27th 2021 at 9:36PM
Steve Williams
Who going to believe them now, 8 months after the election, would you STEVE?


Tuesday, July 27th 2021 at 9:56PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
The people of Maricopa County believe them Ron. The people of Maricopa County are the ones who initiated the audit.

Tuesday, July 27th 2021 at 10:51PM
Steve Williams
I ask you that question Steve. Who going to believe them now, 8 months after the election, would you STEVE?


Wednesday, July 28th 2021 at 12:37AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
I do believe them, lots of us do Ron. The evidence is overwhelming.

Wednesday, July 28th 2021 at 1:54AM
Steve Williams
The evidence of their BULL💩 is overwhelming Steve and after this program is over, TRUMP will still be FIRED by the people of The United States of America. Boo Hoo hoo!!!!
