Gen. Mark Milley is a courageous and honorable man who has served his country with uncommon gallantry. There are few less edifying spectacles in modern life than to watch those whose military experience never went beyond playing with GI Joes sneerily denounce the actions of men who have repeatedly put their lives on the line for their country.
But his repeatedly demonstrated valor shouldn’t inoculate him from accountability for his words. By all accounts Gen. Milley is a thoughtful man and that should equip him to understand that he has made a grave mistake that risks great harm to his own reputation and to the trust Americans place in the integrity of their military.
This isn’t a complaint about his apparent genuflection to the postmodern cultural orthodoxy of inherent white sinfulness . The more immediate damage Gen. Milley risks stems from his decision to spend much of the past six months apparently scripting his own John Frankenheimer remake for the benefit of eager journalists and his approving masters in the White House.
Gen. Milley is a keen student of history, and in these florid accounts we are invited to see a man who identifies with Benjamin Franklin and his fellow revolutionaries in ”all hanging together” against President Trump, and who lets us know that if only he’d been around in 1933, the Reichstag Fire wouldn’t have led to the Nazis’ seizure of power.

Milley isn’t the only one of the conservative arm of the military who has raised the alarm. WSJ should get their shit together. A guy named “Mad Dog” Mattis has said the same thing!
