The nation's top general said Thursday he was wrong for taking part in President Donald Trump's controversial church photo op last week.

"I should not have been there," Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said in an address during a National Defense University commencement ceremony. "My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics."

Hi.

“My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics.”

Nothing about Jesus Christ in that statement.

*************

That’s disingenuous. The military is already bending to political winds. And the pentagon is probably further to the left than it ever has been.

It wasn’t politics until he opened his mouth at NDU and made it so!

Communists have infiltrated the military, just as they did in Russia before the Revolution.

The Tailgunner tried to warn us.

Military command continuing to Mutiny.

Also Biden says he has assurances from Military if Trump does not step aside after election.

I can pretty much guarantee there will be a new man in that position after Trump is re-elected. With such weak men at the top it’s no wonder we have been fighting for 20 years without a win.

Should be fired immediately.

Trump for all his greatness should have completely cleaned house on day 1.

He was slow out of the blocks and is suffering because of it.

Is there any General Officer left who’s not a leftwing Obamaiite? Milly is a disgrace to the uniform. The Chairman JCS role is to support his president. But Milly is nothing in the world but an Obama Deep Stater., Just another Democrat getting ready to retire who’s been promised a job at CNN. Trump should fire him and Espy today.

Why did he go when everyone else was in a suit. He's right...HE HIMSELF chose to enter the "men in suits" walk to a Church which had been burnt by protesters. It wasn't a photo op....It was a message..."Burning a Church is NOT within the right to protest". The media simply does their own thing and that's what they want the population to see.

As far as the Bible...It is the book used in every Christian Church in the world.

Fire Milley and Esper. Then make the former acting Navy Secretary they ran out of the Pentagon over the corona boat the new SecDef. He is a Grenellesque bomb thrower that POTUS needs there.

Do we need pussies like that in charge of our military? He needs to go, crawl in a hole and suck his thumb.

If you were wondering why Esper was acting the way he is here is your answer. The JCS is totally out of control and severely lacking civilian leadership.

“I should not have been there,”

You should not be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs either.

Frankly, if I were Trump I’d tell this country to KMA, take my money and leave this $hit-hole to the Democrats.

Why put up with all the BS he’s been facing for the past 3-years? Every day, he gets stabbed in the back. Now the coward Joint Chiefs Chairman gets “woke” and begs for the forgiveness of the mob.

Why Trump doesn’t call a press conference, bend over and drops trou is beyond me.

And...I think Milley should start thinking about cleaning out his office as the FORMER Joint Chiefs Chair.
