Decorum

 Unlike the biden (intentionally lower case) administration, I, without fail, give you nothing but facts.

 

It has only been eight-months into this Democratic dumpster fire and already our nation is flooded with illegal immigrants, COVID misinformation, fentanyl, and a slew of reversed effective policies to protect our citizenry.

 

Our hapless leader, Joe biden, routinely dodders to and from his dais where he plies his fabulous lies, and offers falsities about former President Donald J. Trump, biden’s predecessor.

 

This routine would normally be getting old, but seemingly appearing from virtually nowhere, up from the grave like the Crypt keeper, pops a fellow named Bob Woodward.

 

Woodward’s claim-to-fame was in 1972 when, as a fledgling reporter for The Washington Compost, he teamed up with another fellow, Carl Bernstein.  Together, these reporters brought down several Republican politicians including President Richard M. Nixon.

 

Riding this much like a 50-year old former high school quarterback who nearly weekly recounts his tales of that 98-yard touchdown run back in 1988 – Woodward is just finishing up the details on a new book.

 

Thus far he’s written twenty, and true to his “Gotcha!” style, he seems to be preparing America for his latest surprise moment; dribs and drabs from his manuscript are hitting media outlets being announced as valid news.

 

Of course the book has yet to be released, so only speculation as to its contents can be gleaned from this holey boat.

 

Among the information leaked was disturbing accusations about the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Alexander Milley.

 

Exceptionally decorated Gasbag General Milley

This is the time when I tell you that Milley’s military record appears stellar, at least on paper.  His awards include the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Army Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal, and on, and on, and on.

 

In fact, he has so many ribbons on his uniform he lists to the left while walking.  I don’t believe he has any awards for fidelity, integrity, or decorum, though.

 

 

Once again, General Milley looks really nifty on paper.  But accusations from Bob Woodward’s latest book seem to tarnish at least a few of the General’s four stars. 

Woodward claims that Milley was not a fan of President Trump, even though Milley was serving in his same position while Trump was President.

 

It appears as though General Milley had so little respect for President Trump that he secretly contacted at least one Chinese general.  This phone call was allegedly a pre-emptive measure used by Milley to prevent a war which he thought Trump would start.

 

Not being a military guy, but having been gainfully employed by the federal government for over three-decades, I can tell you lots.

 

The first day on the job EVERYONE must take an Oath of Allegiance to protect The Constitution.  There’s more to that oath to include the words: “I do solemnly swear that I will support, protect, and defend The Constitution and Government of the United States against all enemies, whether domestic or foreign, …”

 

For the record, China is a foreign enemy, and Russia is a foreign enemy.  This means General Milley broke his oath by contacting that Chinese general, and not honoring his boss, President Trump, a duly elected president.

 

I’ve met tons of General Milley-types in my life, most of whom are blowhards; over-accomplished, self-anointed heroes who BS their way to the top.  Unfortunately, once there, they quickly become fish out of water and prove their impotence by overcompensating for their shortcomings – usually by hiding under their walnut desks.

 

Milley recently and angrily stated he was anxious to find out more about the racial health of the United States military.  He vowed to get to the bottom of things so as to make soldiers hate one another for the sake of racial equity.  That in and of itself proves Milley is not the strong thinker he’d like to be.

 

There was the Washington D.C. church photo-op that Milley avoided to distance himself from President Trump, and now his loose lips to Bob Woodward seem to be a lame attempt to further jab fingers in the eye of an America-loving President Trump.

 

The military has a lot of rules and regulations, and since they can tell you how to eat, stand, walk, sit, salute, speak, and catch bullets for your country, there’s probably a rule on generals not aiding and abetting the enemy.

 

I once heard about something called a “court martial.”  If it still exists, some extra smart military lawyer might want to see if the proverbial shoe fits.  Spit-shined for a general, of course.
