(6,916 posts)First, Miley did a lot of work behind the scenes to keep the Orange Shitgibbon from going farther than he did. As a serving soldier, Miley couldn't very well come out against Trump. Yes, he could have resigned but I think he stayed because he felt he had a duty to keep things from sliding completely out of control. Remember that Miley reminded the military that they have an oath to the Constitution and not the President. Miley was blindsided by Trump's move against the protesters at Lafayette Square and apologized for his part in it. Remember that Miley probably exceeded his own authority in telling the military that if Trump called for a nuclear strike that the military leaders needed to check with Miley first. I guess maybe we will one day find out Miley's role in all this, but I suspect he was trying to do the right thing under very difficult circumstances.
I believe the main issue should be with these self-serving pricks, some of whom you named, who saved their Trump stories for the publication of their own books.
