    You are incorrect, in order to advise the CIC, he needs to have information, trust me, Miley spoke with counterparts in China often.

    If he didn't he was not doing his job.

    The military works for the Commander in Chief and the Commander in Chief is elected by the people. Milley went rouge. Milley is a traitor.

    Sorry sport after 2022 McCarty will be the next speaker. Nancy was conspiring with Milley to take control of the military from Trump. Nancy is more likely to be frogmarched than McCarty

    A very interesting nonsensical comment.

    You have no understanding of the concept of 'chain of command'. Let me help you out a little ... da POTUS be da 'big cheese', da 'big honcho', da 'big poobah' (gilbert and sullivan since it goes over your head), da 'MIFWIC' (look that one up if it too goes over your head). And it is DEFINATE that YOU have never been in the military so don't go guessing about others.

    Milley did not break the chain of command, it was part of his regular duties to speak with his counterparts in China, especially during a presidential transition.

In their upcoming book Peril, Bob Woodward and Robert Costa report that Milly made secret calls with China in October 2020 and January 2021 over fears former President Trump might start a war. The authors claim that the purpose of the calls was to assure his Chinese counterpart that Trump would not start a war.

    While Republicans have become enraged by the reporting, calling Milley’s actions treasonous, and calling for him to resign or be fired, Keane says the calls were nothing out of the ordinary.

    “Gen. Milley’s making a phone call to provide reassurances, which is his job,” Keane said. “I mean, he's executing his responsibility and he’s doing it in concert with his own advisers and then sharing that with the interagency.”

    Keane also said that the president not being briefed on the calls was nothing unusual, and believes the whole story is being overblown."

    It what he SAID during that phone call is the problem. You guys impeached Trump for what he SAID during a routine phone call.

    Telling an advisory that you would warn them prior to an attack is giving aid to an enemy. Milley is a traitor.
