As I&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/americanliberty.news\/commentary\/did-trump-threaten-gen-mark-milley-for-treason\/pcrespo\/2023\/09\/\">wrote about earlier<\/a>, former President Donald Trump made typically inappropriate remarks when he implied outgoing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, due to his back-channel calls to China\u2019s top general, deserved the \u2018DEATH\u2019 penalty for treason (all caps were in Trump\u2019s post on Truth Social).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While no one should take Trump\u2019s bombastic social media posts too seriously, I did say Trump was wrong to add fuel to an already flammable political environment in our country with his comments. I have also criticized Milley for his many overreactions to Trump\u2019s words and deeds during his time in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In doing so, Milley made Trump out to be something he wasn\u2019t, placed himself smack in the middle of the Democrat Party narrative of Trump, and undermined the commander-in-chief and the presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my view Milley has also been at the very least deliberately and willfully ignorant of the extreme woke policies the Pentagon has been pushing. Still, despite all my jabs at Milley, I respected his decades of service to the uniform and our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a shame then, that Milley chose to take the low road on his way out of the DC swamp, demeaning himself and the institution, while himself politicizing the military against Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Outgoing Gen.

Milley retired this week after four years as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. \u201cWe are unique among the world\u2019s militaries,\u201d the top military officer said at a retirement ceremony on Friday, noting that service members swear an oath to the Constitution.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cWe don\u2019t take an oath to a country. We don\u2019t take an oath to a tribe. We don\u2019t take an oath to a religion. We don\u2019t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or a tyrant or a dictator. And we don\u2019t take an oath to a wannabe dictator.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Readers will catch the parting shot at Mr. Trump. The media certainly did. And who could blame Gen. Milley for loathing Mr. Trump? Casually floating the idea of harming a U.S. military officer is conduct unworthy of a wannabe Commander in Chief.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Yet it was still dispiriting to hear Gen. Milley\u2019s remarks about a former President, in public, while wearing the uniform of the U.S. Army. Mr. Trump is the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination. Like it or not, he commands political support in the country. That doubtless includes a large chunk of the enlisted ranks of the United States military services. The end-of-tour catharsis of a swipe at Mr. Trump isn\u2019t worth polarizing the force over politics.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I agree wholeheartedly with the Journal. Milley knows better, and with his bitter and snarky jabs at Trump chose to take the low road rather than the high road on his way out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite my great misgivings about the truly woke new Joint Chiefs Chairman, Air Force General C.Q. Brown, I also concur with the Journal\u2019s parting words: \u201cWe hope that turning down the temperature of politics in the U.S. armed forces is a priority for the new chairman\u2014perhaps behind only the military threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Message to Brown: We need an apolitical military leadership no matter the provocations from any political leader. That also means being non-ideological and non-woke.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a shame Milley couldn\u2019t see that while he\u00a0was chairman, and also couldn&#8217;t just leave gracefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Opinions expressed by contributors do not necessarily reflect the views of Great America News Desk.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ANALYSIS \u2013 General Milley\u2019s comments were beneath him, even if Trump provoked him.
