I am a retired Army Veteran, I took that oath to protect and preserve the Constitution. No-one can relieve me of my oath, We are not a dictatorship, and never will be ! We are America, we were built by migrants from many Country"s Come on America !! WAKE UP !!!

[Mr_Beaubles]

It's not just Milley. 10 other retired admirals and generals have signed another open letter saying the same exact thing. If all of our military leaders are breaking their silence on this, something they DO NOT DO, we should listen.

[marlinnealen]

Calling all my fellow veterans across the world. This is our time to stand out and speak up 🫡🇺🇸

[glenn]

More military leaders need to step up.

[Lonewolfmike]

Gen. Milley has something that Donnie never has had or will have and that is Integrity.

[jayjones]

My goodness! As an Army officer, those words truly put fear in me.

[margaretlamb]

Thank you General Milley for this from Canada 🇨🇦

[brmam]

I’ve heard GEN Milley’s call. I’m a 25 yr Veteran. Thank you sir! 🫡♥️🇺🇸

See the medals on his chest? See the number of stars on his shoulders? That man is telling the truth and has defended this nation from war on more than one occasion. We as a nation should believe him. Take what he says as truth.

[lillyfitzgerald]

Yes, and why hasn't Bill Barr been investigated?

[sharonwilliams]

That should've disqualified trump immediately.

[joycee]

In addition to their medals and service, people have to realize just how intelligent these men at the top ranks of the military are. They are no dummies and they are highly educated. They are well-versed in history and that’s what scares them.

[TrineDaely]

If those of his stature don't own their mistakes, there is no reason to expect those below to own theirs.
He is leading by example. Thank you, sir.

[SpecialVibes]

Only a real man will stand up and admit wrong. We forgive you sir. Thank you for your honesty and for protecting America

[DamusNostrajijilji-wlor]

GENERAL MILLEY: YOUR HONESTY IS A MANIFESTATION OF YOUR COURAGE, INTEGRITY, AND PATRIOTISM.

[vladimirchernov]

No, Nichole, it's easier, not harder, for an honorable military man to admit and learn. Hiding your mistakes is a trump thing. Not a general's

[katmandoism]

Gen Milley is one of the best! Semper Fi!

[kellyhorton]

Thank you for your honesty, integrity, and courage, General Milley. ❤️

General Milley is a decorated man of conviction, we should stand with him when he needs us, just like he has done for us his whole life. How can any Republican voter dismiss General Milley's remarks, is beyond comprehension. He was in the room w/ trump and he knows the man. He knows what trump has done in moments of crisis, and he knows what trump is capable of doing.

[normagrimstad]

That’s what a man of character does. He admits his mistakes and takes responsibility by rectifying the situation as best he can.
