    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    I’ve explained the chain of command and how he broke it.

    Every PFC, every NCO, every officer including generals know the chain of command.

    You are becoming a troll like some of those on this forum.

    It’s unattractive.

    The King of Thailand is a real whack job, total fucking psycho and pedophile due to underaged females in his harem. As long as King Rama X pussies out to let the Thai military run the government, then he's allowed to spend his money, travel wherever or fuck whomever he likes.

    There's a Thai anti-king movement #whydoweneedaking? trending on Twitter. The original Thai is #กษัตริย์มีไว้ทําไม

    Thais are good people but their government is full of corrupt pedophiles and other criminals. Someone should wipe the entire Thai Top Tier clean so their lovely country can start anew. Is Tom up for the job?

    The Thai government tries new ways to curb online critics
    Running a country is much easier if you can silence naysayers. Just ask Thailand’s prime minister, Prayuth Chan-ocha. Having seized the job after leading a coup in 2014, he clung to it through an unfair election last year. One of the secrets to his success has been the severe restrictions on what Thais can say about both their government and the monarchy. More than 900 people endured “attitude adjustment” in the years after Mr Prayuth came to power, according to iLaw, a Thai ngo. Approval of a new constitution in a referendum in 2016 was eased by a ban on criticising the draft. As of 2017 at least 100 people were either detained awaiting trial or serving prison sentences for lèse-majesté. But the authorities are not content with the same old gags. They are always coming up with new ways to silence dissent.

    The lèse-majesté law, for example, has fallen from favour. It attracted censure from abroad, as anachronistic and repressive. Since last year those writing rude things about King Maha Vajiralongkorn (pictured) or criticising the government have been targeted instead under laws on sedition, computer crimes or defamation.

    1) Assuring the Speaker of the House that the safeguards remain in place and that he would not allow the elected president to remain after his term are not treason.

    2) Why do you believe this book, but not the others that were critical of Trump?

    Chain of command is a sacrosanct part of UCMJ.

    Every enlisted and every officer sits through hours of classroom study on chain of command.

    The general had no authority to judge President Trump’s mental competence. Article 25 of the Constitution was not in play.

    He knowing violated the chain of command...with our enemy...the Communist Chinese,

    Court-martial and Ft. Leavenworth...treason.

    No and No. But I understand that Milley could have taken some actions that were treason and some that were not. The actions he took are top secret. You are once again spewing lies out your ass without any support.

    Best guess is that he's on the run from InterPol. https://www.interpol.int/en

    Basically he's trapped. Can't leave Thailand, can't live free in Thailand so he lives a virtual life as an American on JPP.

    Not a problem in itself, but when he uses that virtual life to undermine the United States Constitution, then I consider him to be a foreign enemy at war with the United States. An unregistered foreign agent. That means all legal means are fair.

    1) Remain in office? What were you believing?
    This from the CNBC link
    "to assure her that safeguards were in place to prevent Trump from launching nuclear weapons or ordering the military to somehow try to keep him in power after he lost the election."

    2) From CNBC's link:

    "Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley placed two phone calls to his Chinese counterpart in the waning months of Donald Trump’s presidency to secretly reassure Beijing that the United States would not attack the country, a spokesman for Milley confirmed Wednesday."
