Milley took top-secret action to limit Trump's ability to order military strike
Two days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, President Donald Trump's top military adviser, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, single-handedly took top-secret action to limit Trump from potentially ordering a dangerous military strike or launching nuclear weapons

No. It was part of the procedure.Originally Posted by Grumpy
OTOH, I'm curious why so many Republican Senators didn't back Pence to exercise the 25th Amendment.
IMO, it'll all come out just like this revelation. Might have to wait until Trump is dead and buried before some people will talk.

It was putting country ahead of self interest at the highest levels of both. As Woodward explains in the book, Milley was far from alone in his assessment of Trump at this time as a President consumed by
his own perceived self interest and paranoia.

There's no telling what a mad, unstable, and irrational man like Trump will do, and this is also quite worrisome.

The whole thing is insanity. He is acting out like a six-year-old with a tantrum." Haspel also worried that Trump would try to attack Iran.
"This is a highly dangerous situation. We are going to lash out for his ego?" she asked Milley.

Worried Trump could 'go rogue,' Milley took secret action to protect nuclear weapons
Woodward and Costa write that Milley, deeply shaken by the assault, 'was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies.'
"Peril" is based on more than 200 interviews with firsthand participants and witnesses, and it paints a chilling picture of Trump's final days in office. The book, Woodward's third on the Trump presidency, recounts behind-the-scenes moments of a commander in chief unhinged and explosive, yelling at senior advisers and aides as he desperately sought to cling to power.

Hello guno,
I remember all that talk about declaring martial law, overturning the election, etc. Trump fans were saying the military would support him on it.

If the Left keeps pushing the military away and shitting on them, the next time this situation comes up, We the People may suffer for it.
I think we should bring back the draft. Allow a non-military pipeline for draftees. Anything to get them away from the apron strings, out into some Third World Shithole and learn a little discipline and teamwork.
