Via InquirerUSA Top U.S. military leaders slam Capitol riot as ‘attack on Constitution’

“The rights of freedom of speech and assembly do not give anyone the right to resort to violence, sedition and insurrection,” the memo, seen by Reuters, said.

“Any act to disrupt the Constitutional process is not only against our traditions, values, and oath; it is against the law.” The silence was in sharp contrast to June, when Milley made a controversial walk to a church with Trump after law enforcement officers backed by National Guard troops used tear-inducing chemicals and rubber bullets to clear the area of peaceful protesters.

On Twitter, the head of U.S. forces in South Korea said that what happened occurred in Washington D.C. on Wednesday was an “attempted insurrection.”“If you are serving in uniform and think it was something else, I would encourage to sit down and read the constitution that you swore an oath to support and defend,” General Robert Abrams said.
