Trump comment about punishing Gen. Milley with ‘death’ causes major outcry from GOP rivals
"There is no call for that kind of language directed toward someone who’s worn the uniform of the United States and served with such distinction," Pence said.
Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson told Politico that Trump's rhetoric created genuine danger for Milley and disrespected the military. "To suggest that Gen. Milley should be executed is inexcusable and dangerous," Hutchinson told the outlet. "While some will excuse this latest outrage as Trump just being Trump, the fact is that his statement endangers people and is an insult to those who serve in the military."
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie called Trump an "absolute child" for his comments during an interview with MSNBC.
...
"As much as these comments are directed at me, it’s also directed at the institution of the military. And there is 2.1 million of us in uniform," Milley continued. "And the American people can take it to the bank, that all of us, every single one of us, from private to general, are loyal to that Constitution and will never turn our back on it no matter what. No matter what the threats, no matter what the humiliation, no matter what."
So the 2 biggest Trump haters on the right don’t like what Trump said about Milley. So what.
Milley:
-Committed borderline treason when while Trump was still POTUS Milley secretly contacted his Chinese counterpart that he would warn him beforehand of any US military action against China.
-Said “the Afghan Security Forces have the capacity to sufficiently fight and defend their country.” They lasted all of about a week
-Publicly defended the disasterous Afghan withdrawl.
-Defended closing the Bagram base in favor of Kabul.
-Said they wouldn’t leave any American citizens behind in Afghanistan. They ended up leaving behind thousands.
-Was responsible for leaving behind tens billions of weaponry in Afghanistan for the Taliban

-Defended a missile strike from a drone outside Kabul that took out am innocent family, calling it a ‘righteous’ strike.
-Refused to resign after the Afghanistan debacle, despite calls on both aides of the aisle to do so.
-Implemented a series of ultra woke policies.
-Has overseen 3 straight ywars of the military falling short of its recruiting and retention goals. Several factors, but one os the wokeness implemented under Milley. The majority of the military is legacy (had family who served). Vets are a little to the right of the population as a whole. Are polls that show many who served in prior decades have told their sons/daughters/nephews etc not today join in part because of the wokeness.
Trump’s Truth on Milley isn’t too far off.
