Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was seen walking the streets of Washington, D.C., in battle fatigues after curfew Monday night — a scene that sparked an intense wave of criticism.
Domination camo.
The new Ivanka fashion trend.
This is not even remotely in the tradition of U.S. civil-military relations.
There’s that word again. Turns out it doesn’t mean shit.
Soon a soldier will shoot and kill a protester. There will be tremendous outrage and condemnation. It will roil society for days. Then more killing by the military will occur, and that will become the new normal. Everyone will go back to Facebook for photos of Tricia’s lunch.
I agree. He should resign immediately.
First off, the Joint Chiefs are an advisory board, they are not actually commanding any troops.
Second, he is willingly making himself a mere prop for a political photo op.
Third, he is violating one of the most important traditions in our military, namely that they are not a police force against the civilian population.
Resign, General and read up on seppuku…and then put into practice tonight.
Wearing a uniform, when he is not commanding troops, is a political statement.
Did he inform the National Guard commander he was coming?
And he’s NOT WEARING A MASK.
Looks like a Mike Flynn type political poseur.
they were not a police force against the civilian population.
FIFY
The ghost of Douglas MacArthur’s disgraceful attack on the veteran’s Bonus Army is coming to life.
Field camouflage would appear to be the exact wrong thing to wear in an urban environment. J.Crew and some Gap would have been much more effective.
It is a war. On America.
Good catch. Incredible.
Getting his Chile vibe on.
Yeah, the Pro-Fa cabal is out of the closet.
From “Good Morning Viet Nam”
Just need to change “jungle” to “America”.
Adrian as Camp Fashion Consultant: I want to tell you something. You know, this whole camouflage thing, for me, doesn’t work very well.
Adrian: Why is that?
Adrian as Camp Fashion Consultant: Because you go in the jungle, I can’t see you. You know, it’s like wearing stripes and plaid. For me, I want to do something different. You know, you go in the jungle, make a statement. If you’re going to fight, clash. You know what I mean?
There are a lot of Rubicons on this landscape. I’ve lost track.
He’s signaling that he’s more than willing to attack and kill American civilians if Trump wishes it. How else can one interpret this?
One thing about Trump is that he has shown the generals for what they are: a bunch of pathetic asskissers with no “honor” or “patriotism”. I know, you don’t get to be general if you are not a master in the art, but really, none of “Trump’s generals” has shown any redeeming character traits. Same goes for other non general West Pointers like Pompeo and Esper.
General Mattis, he’s not.
One of the biggest responsibilities in leadership is telling the chain of command to go fuck itself when it’s in the wrong.
