General Mark Milley is a soldier, a military here and historian. He has made it clear that as a historian he recognizes Trump as another wanna-be king, comparing his actions to not only Hitler, Stalin but other "great leaders" like Genghis Kahn. All people who promised their citizens "greatness" just to turn into mass murdering horrors. Milley is a person who picked up a weapon early in his life and put his life in danger so others can live in peace. He voted 5 decades to this honorable path.
But now he is facing the "greatest" threat of his life. He is one of a few brave people who committed the highest act of courage any soldier will do. He questioned the orders of a superior. He did this several times during Trump's first term because he knew orders Trump gave to deploy U.S. troops against Americans were wrong.
And, we can surmise that Trump also wanted the military to take over the Capitol during the Jan 6 insurrection. Let's be thankful our country didn't see that horrific act of treason.
Some people say a military officer should never question his superiors. That is exactly how it came to be that innocent people were trapped in chambers filled with gas. A SOLDIER MUST ALWAYS BE SURE HIS ORDERS PROTECT LIFE AND LIBERTY OVER THE EGO OF A VIOLENT SICK LEADER.
Milley defended not only those protestors in Jefferson Square after Floyd's murder he defended our constitution. His ultimate superior has always been the constitution.
Let's hope more people stand up to Trump. A man who knows no honor and lies about "protecting" our rights.
