In reply to the discussion: Woodward/Costa book: Worried Trump could 'go rogue,' Milley took top-secret action to protect nuclea [View all]Dave says
(4,616 posts)Hero General Milley simply instructed all services to consult with him in the advent that TFG decided on whim to launch nuclear weapons after losing in November and going into a mental health tailspin. Presumably Milley wouldve agreed to a launch if anything the military was aware of justified a nuclear strike. And the military wouldve been keenly aware ahead of TFG if a strike was necessary. In fact it would be they who turn to Trump advising immediate strikes.
Wasnt it Rumsfeld who did the same during Watergate? There is precedent. Albeit Rumsfeld was civilian.
I am very glad that someone as high up in the power hierarchy as Milley chose defense of the constitution and, well, continuation of civilization over fidelity to a rogue President.
