Im glad she finally retired. Gonna make China big sad. 😭

Gen. Milley, you had an honorable career.
However, you were not the State Dept.
Interacting with foreign governments, unless instructed by the President was not your job.
Bood luck to you in your retirement. Avoid involvement in politics at any cost.

Spoken like the General responsible for the fastest capture of Kabul in Taliban history. Was it 16 Billion in military equipment we left in Afghanistan?

[AfghaniFreedomFighters]

Commander David Rudnick made many videos about Gen. Milley before Trump. Support Rudnick.

"8 Rows of Ribbons, across his man-teated chest...he's never won a war, but he's 'America's Best'....his Military is Woke & Queer...the Chinese Army need have no fear!"

[alanakafang]

Yeah and the constitution lays out the chain of authority and you disregarded and disrespected that, and should be in prison.
Milley is a Fraud.

THE UCMJ HAS CHARGES FOR MILITARY PEOPLE WHO GET INVOLVED IN POLITICS!

Just go away, you don't have to express your private bologna and take jabs at Presidents.

A legend in his own mind! He understands in the most moronic way. It was not his job to have communications with the opposing side. He was not a diplomat. He should have been courts marshalled.

[FELiPES]

He is mad that he still had one man to answer to in his career, went behind that man's back, and then got called out for it.

[jeanghiberti]

He Should have spent more time discouraging involvement in the new Vietnam, and less time worrying about whether his men had the proper high heels for combat.

[Teri_B.]

Retiring in absolute disgrace as the sellout traitor he is to our great country. He'll be held accountable for his treasonous activity. 🇺🇸🙏🏼💞

[pizzacrusher]

He's retiring though, so he wont be in a position to mitigate against the wannabe dictator next year...

[galencole]

he so upset Trump called him out at the end of his career

[indiumone]

I was in the military…there is what’s called a chain of command…and the commander in chief..the president..regardless if you like him or not or agree has the final word on foreign affairs, ect…that’s why there is a constitution and laws as well..

[brennhannon]

Don't let the door hit your ass Miley!

[charliecostella]

Military industrial complex has already taken an oath to corporations and oil companies😅 AKA petrodollar AKA Federal Reserve😅

[IVO_SLATER]

We all know who he is talking about. Funny the way he feels is probably the way this General subordinates feels. Not so fun when the rabbits got the gun.

[windsnexus]

Trumps comments are an example of what a person who thinks he should run everything is. He thinks he's the smartest guy in the room: and he isn't. Typical cult of personality BS. I am not dem/repub, I just have eyes and a brain

[importantname]

he can say what ever he wants - though once retired what happens in the military is not under his control.
