US CentCom Commander Gen. Mark Milley got into a testy exchange with Republican Sen. Tom Cotton over the botched Afghan withdrawal and evacuation in Congressional testimony on Tuesday. He appeared to undercut President Biden, who previously told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that “no one” that he “can recall” advised in favor of keeping a few thousand-strong force inside Afghanistan to ensure there’d be no rapid collapse or attacks on Americans. “I can only conclude your advice about staying in Afghanistan was rejected,” Cotton began in his questioning.
But things really got tense when Cotton questioned, “If all this is true General Milley then why haven’t you resigned?”
“It’s a political act if I’m resigning in protest,” Milley began his response. “My job is to provide advice.. to provide the best military advice to the president, and that’s my legal requirement – that’s what the law is.”
“This country doesn’t want generals figuring out what orders we are going to accept and do or not,” Milley emphasized. He added that “on a personal note”…
“My dad didn’t get a choice to resign at Iwo Jima. Those kids at Abbey Gate didn’t get a chance to resign.”
“I’m not gonna turn my back on them. They can’t resign so I’m not going to resign,” he added. “If the orders are illegal, then we’re in a different place.”
The Arrogant King of Generals would NEVER do such a thing !!!!! FIRE his WOKE ass !!!!!!
