Gen. Mark Milley: 'We Take an Oath to the Constitution, Not an Individual'

The words spoken by America's top military officer carried a familiar ring, but in the midst of a chaotic week at the Pentagon, they were particularly poignant.
"We are unique among militaries," said Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "We do not take an oath to a king or a queen, a tyrant or a dictator. We do not take an oath to an individual."
Milley was speaking Wednesday at the dedication of an Army museum in a week that saw President Donald Trump fire Defense Secretary Mark Esper and install three staunch loyalists to senior Pentagon policy positions. The abrupt changes have raised fears about what Trump may try to do in his final two months of office - and whether the military's long held apolitical nature could be upended.
Milley's comments, made as he stood alongside Esper's successor, acting defense chief Christopher Miller, reflected a view he has long been passionate about: the military's unequivocal duty to protect and defend the Constitution - what he called the "moral north star" for everyone in uniform.
But his message in a time of turmoil - Trump has refused to concede his election loss - was unmistakable: The military exists to defend democracy and is not to be used as a political pawn. "We take an oath to the Constitution," Milley said, adding that every service member "will protect and defend that document regardless of personal price."
Trump's motives for the Pentagon shakeup are unclear, but it has created a great deal of unease within the building. Was he simply striking out at Esper and others he deemed not loyal enough? Is there a broader plan to enact policy changes that Trump could tout in his final days as commander in chief? Or, in the most extreme scenario, would Trump try to get the military to help him stay in office beyond Inauguration Day?
Milley has pushed back against that last possibility, telling Congress that "In the event of a dispute over some aspect of the elections, by law U.S. courts and the U.S. Congress are required to resolve any disputes, not the U.S. military." He said service members must not get involved in the transfer of power after an election.

He turned our government into a dictatorship country but by the grace of God the people woke up and seen what he was all about and voted his pumpkin ass out of office. And God sent us joe Biden the man that will unite the people of America again. And unite our government back to the way it was because trump made shambles of our government.

I'm also pretty sure that the General is making reference exactly the same way that I am thinking. Based on this section of the oath... "and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." Stating that I will obey the orders of the president...which I would not support if those orders are against the constitution. I would gladly go to prison before I followed anything I was ordered to do if it did not follow what the constitution says. I'm not sure how you think that is politicizing anything.

    America is a tyranny. It's heavily militarist, despite what this general says, and it's overwhelmingly clear that military-industrial complex drives foreign policy as a profit-making exercise, unseating democratically elected leaders across the Global South. Elections at home largely depend on which country receives the most donations, and donations heavily from Wall Street. Trump's overwhelming support by white Americans and evangelicals also shows that all a politician really has to do is appeal to white supremacy to win the unwavering support of a large part of the population. Black people, Latino, and Native Americans won the election for Biden, and they will continue to face violence, displacement, and exclusion long after Biden's sworn in. Don't get me wrong-- I'm glad Trump's on his way out and it's good that the military has signaled that it would resist a Republican coup, even if this has yet to be seen if they'd put their money where their mouth is. But, the damage has been done and there's really nothing about Biden's modest win or the military's vague overtures towards democracy that signals that the United States as a democratic state/imperial formation is not in steady decline.

I'm afraid to say this may be the end of democracy, i believe a coup will be attempted. And just like soldiers loyally deployed on the streets of the nation this year, i believe they will do the same now when they are ordered to shut the legislative and judicial branches down under the pretext of "national security concerns", they are trained to follow orders, orders which will be given by trump loyalists. Ask any soldier, the first thing on their mind is following orders, the constitution doesn't even cross the minds of many of these rank and file soldiers. The notion that these new Pentagon officials will uphold the constitution before trump is also delusional, they will become swollen with power while also pleasing the president, an attempt at keeping and holding their power. It'll be much easier to order the military to shut down the other 2 branches of government. Hold my hand Ms. Karissa, I'm anxious.

    I hope the general reads this: Letter to the Morning Call: Editors, remember what I said in 2018, "A malignant narcissist does not go down alone they take everyone down with them. When I worked for the Wiley House, that became Kids Peace, I was a casework supervisor and it was my responsibility whenever a psychiatrist diagnosed a child with narcissism to come up with a treatment plan. My research into narcissism is beyond that of many in politics and am able to make statements on their behaviors. I on my own diagnosed trump with the psychiatric disability long before others which led me to make the prescient statement I made. We are not talking about a borderline case, we are talking about malignant narcissism. If you recall 200 psychiatrists in this country agreed on the diagnosis but are ignored because Trump was elected president. This remind me of one of the first things I learned in psychology from a professor Dubin: To determine if a person is insane it comes down to support. if someone says they are Jesus Christ and no one believe the person they are considered mentally disturbed and possibly put under care. If another person says it and has a sizable following nothing is done by authorities. In Trumps case he was elected president so 100 years of psychiatric advances in the understanding of mental llness is thrown out the window or bypassed. This brings me to my biggest concern. I have believed from the beginning that Trump was groomed by Russia with money and praise to be president and do what they want. That does not change who Trump is, a narcissist who built up a phony reputation of a successful business man even though everything he ever did was crooked and included free money from others. He has an ego that cannot handle losing and needs to do something to remain in power. The election fraud game is going nowhere so the rat needs to strike somewhere else to remain in power and that could, I say could be going to war with China because Trump loves blaming China for the virus that killed his presidency. It is a concern to me that Russia would like it if trump went to war with china because in the end Russia would emerge fully armed and possibly the dominant power. Keep in mind this is speculative but the truth is Russia would benefit so why wouldn't Russia push something they would benefit by and it would keep their president in office. What I am asking the editors is to share this with people who are important and can make sure Trump doesn't make this move. that is all I am asking. David Clark

    Ask yourself this General, was the constitution upheld on this past election day? The United States wasn't united on that day, it was divided, the American peoples voice wasn't heard on that day, millions of people wanted President Trump to be our President for 4 more years, but this isn't what happened, our capitol was once again disrespected by these people who only think of themselves and not the people of this country, it's happened so many times through the years, I think the capitol should be bulldozed to the ground and rebuilt over in a different location as far away from these corrupt politicians. anyone else agree????

In regards to earning a CIB, the requirements state, “These soldiers must have been personally present and engaged in active ground combat, to close with and destroy the enemy with direct fires.” So he was a full bird Colonel that was “engaged in active ground combat, to close with and destroy the enemy with direct fires”?

The nation has had the public disclosures of his 70000 digital files for 2 years now. And what has been accomplished with that evidence outside of North Carolina? Is the USA military powerless to act against could by Artificial Intelligence? Hofeller clearly stated that the Republican leadership's goal is to redistrict every 20 years towards the goal of complete control over the Electoral College and through it control the federal government permanently. That they do so by discriminating against Black and Hispanic voters during redistricting is illegal. The North Carolina example is glaring and recent.
