If his job is to defend the constitution against ENEMIES. Then why even bring up the argument about his sworn oath? Because you left out the most part of the oath which describes who he is to defend our constitution against. Only kook left wing conspiracy theorist extremists would go so far to declare a duly elected official the President of the United Stated an enemy of the constitution. Because that’s what your arguement just did.

I've followed how you discussed whether he committed a crime or not and it was because of this I wrote Isn't it up to the American authorities....? I'm not speculating in if he get a verdict or not, but if they open a case against him. Markus

So - here's an interesting thought.
The US has civilian control of the military as one of the bases of how the military is organized. By definition, all military members report to the President. That whole chain of command thing. The President is duly elected, and his actions are based upon the belief that what he is doing is in accordance with his oath of office. Even if that consists of calling another leader "Rocket Man" or taking actions that alter how the nation intersects with other nations (Paris climate, trade war with China, etc.). It does not matter that his subordinates don't like the way he carries out his duties. It isn't their place to countermand his orders or to oppose his actions. Question and advise in confidence? Sure. But that's it. As a member of the military, you're obligated to follow his orders. Or resign your commission. Enlisted are kinda screwed because they are obligated to a term of service under their contract, but officers can resign they're commission any time after their initial 5 year obligation. Now, the JCS chair believes that the President is going to do "something" after the Jan 6th trespassing... At no point has the President violated his oath of office, and at no point has he taken clear steps to avoid a transfer of power - arresting Biden and Harris, suspending Congress, locking himself in the White House. Yet, we're supposed to believe Milley going behind his back to allegedly prevent him from attacking China is anything other than insubordinate? The guy is still duly-elected for another 14 days, and Milley's obligation is to obey his orders as Commander in Chief. Milley has no reporting chain to Pelosi and he certainly has no authorization to call a Chinese general and tell him that he would prevent Trump from attacking China. It may or may not qualify as treason, but it damn sure is insubordinate, it certainly is failure to obey a lawful order, and it definitely is aiding the enemy. |

I'm not reading his alleged behavior as anything more than making sure policy would be followed and as the liasson between the Secretary of Defense, the president, and the joint chiefs, that he is informed of any orders.

Let me see if I got this right.
Trump becomes more mad in the end of his term. In his madness he think/decide to attack China, but Gen. Miley does not follow order he contradicts the President and he even call China to cool things down. If I did understand it correctly He has saved our life and should have a medal instead of being prosecuted. Markus

To something else(no need to start a new comment) There have been in the news and in Danish article. It's about Biden being interrupted in his performance-They showed a clip from Boise where Biden spoke and then the picture disappeared and a logo appeared instead. Markus

He gets to say, "I advise against this because..." and then say, "Yes, Mr. President," even if they choose to not heed his advice. We don't need a Myanmar government in the US... |
