But that is just it. It's a dangerous step in that direction. And if this gets swept under the rug it will just embolden people like Miley to go down that road. He should at the very least resign.

If I was Miley I'd resign since I'd have already put in forty years service, but maybe he still sees Trumpism as a threat to the constitution he swore to protect.

Aiding the enemy certainly fits: Any person who— (1)aids, or attempts to aid, the enemy with arms, ammunition, supplies, money, or other things; or (2)without proper authority, knowingly harbors or protects or gives intelligence to, or communicates or corresponds with or holds any intercourse with the enemy, either directly or indirectly; That "...communicates or corresponds with ..." clause is pretty much what he did, given that his actions were without the knowledge and authority of the President or SECDEF. Article 134, on the other hand, is the "you're guilty of something" that they can try you under when all else fails. Remember , as a member of the military, he doesn't have the same protections as a civilian when it comes to the legal process. What ought to happen is the Sec of Army should demand he retire if they are unwilling to prosecute. |

You have absolutely no understanding of the chain of command and the subservient role of the military to civilian authority which is the ultimate authority. Thinking the Generals oath gives him authority to behave in a such manner is utter nonsense. The oath he took is for the defense of the constitution against enemy’s foreign and domestic. That dumbass general has absolutely no authority whatsoever to arbitrarily declare or consider a sitting president the duly elected Commander in Chief and President of the United States of America an enemy of this country or its constitution. The General should be sent to the brig to rot and as well as all the traitors to the constitution that behave in such a manner. Having been in the service and a pretty good understanding of the chain of command and the role of the civilian authority over the military. I think it’s you and the general who are the enemies of the constitution.

These area your words which imply you believe Miley was acting to protect the constitution.

Speaking of the Constitution, you should read it again and understand what it says.
A man (or woman) does not hold supreme powers. The office they were elected to holds the power, at least in US. This is why the US military does not swear an oath of allegiance to a man (or woman). They swear an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Its a subtle difference, but you should look into it. |

One thing YOU should understand about our system of government is no one person is in charge. Especially a rogue general who takes it upon himself to defend the constitution. They should fire him and yank all pay and retirement benefits.

Isn't it up to the American authorities to decide whether this Mr. Miley committed a felony crime by his acting under President Trump ?
