Just an accusation at this point, but…
I heard people yapping about this on random scraps of talk radio while trekking back and forth across Iowa today. “Treason” was a word tossed around a lot. I always managed to miss the context of the discussion, so I assumed that it was the usual hyperbole. But then…
“Gen. Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time,” Milley added, as reported by the book, “Peril,” which is set to be released next week. “It’s not going to be a surprise.”
UMMM…
The claim is made that a US General called a Chinese counterpart and said that he would provide the Chinese warning of American military actions. It seems he did not actually provide any such warning; and it is of course possible that he was simply lying for some reason. But offering to provide aid and comfort to the enemy, even if you don’t actually do it… that’s a bad look for anyone, never mind a military man. Never especially mind the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Nowhere near enough to start tossing around trials for treason. But more than enough – if confirmed, and if confirmed to have been done without the Commander In Chiefs approval – for a summary reduction in rank to Private and then drummed from the service for insubordination. Considering his spectacular failure in Afghanistan and delusional belief int he threat of white supremacy, he really needs to be presented with an opportunity to explore new career options in the food service industry.
