    You left out the part that Trump is a full blown pyscho. Even today he thinks he' was elected the president of the U.S. It's not a wonder that with his mental instability others would find him a threat.
    https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/572292-trump-calls-milley-story-fake-news

    "The Times reported that according to the book, U.S. intelligence in the days before the 2020 election revealed that the Chinese believed Trump was preparing to launch a military strike to manufacture an international crisis that he could then work to solve as part of a plan to solidify a victory in the upcoming election."

    What are you talking about! Trump has always been the true psycho of the presidential set. Shh! Don't tell anyone but even today he thinks he won the presidency long after it was decided against him. A true psychonaut !

    Never happened because Trump listened to his advisors unlike Biden.

    Gee, I wonder what could've given the Chinese this idea. I don't know, maybe our own pundits, media, politicians, etc without any proof or evidence of the suggestion?

    And that's what you genuinely want? General Milley to tell America exactly why he felt he needed to take tangible steps to try and ensure a crazy man cannot launch against China???

    Really??

    From your lips to God's ear....

    There are more way around your conclusion than there are ways around the concept that the President has exclusive control over launching nukes...

    4000 to many, and given how hard it is to overturn a conviction that 4000+ implies that there are far more innocents who will never be cleared.

    Potential victims of injustice[edit]

    In 2014 a study involving the Registry found that 4% of those sentenced to death in the US turned out to be innocent. This 4% error rate has been extrapolated by commentators to the 2.2 million people in prison in the United States, giving them a figure of 88,000 innocent people behind bars, few of which have access to attorneys and innocence projects to appeal their cases.”

    In other words Trump could never have launched an attack against China yet Milley warned China of a possible attack he knew could never happen. This is getting more confusing all the time.

    It would have put the Democrats on record they believed Trump was unfit for the job and what Milley did was justified. They didn't telling me what Milley did was not justified. And according to you Trump never could have attacked China first. So why the phone call?

    How about answering why he called China thinking he knew better than the State Department what to do without telling anyone. It’s not his job as advisor to the President to act like he is President.

    It was the Chinese chief of staff and defense minister who called Milley.

    They were worried that Trump would attack China.

    Ah! Finally, a voice of reason!

    Yes, by all means, let's have formal charges brought against Gen. Milley, followed with a by-the-BOOK court martial -- with PROOF! That's how you must (MUST) handle allegations like this when they are brought against anyone (ANYONE) who is currently a member of the Armed Forces of the United States. He should NOT be subjected to "trial-by-media", or, "trial-by-bullshit" (like Trump was, repeatedly, by radical Democrats, with the unproven "Russia, Russia, Russia" nonsense....)

    General Milley must be given a FAIR TRIAL -- that is his RIGHT as an American citizen, and, as a member of the U. S. Military! Until Gen. Milley were found to be guilty of any infraction enumerated in a properly-convened court martial, he should not be "fired" from any post he is currently assigned to!

    Why is it so damned hard for American citizen to see this? The procedure is clearly spelled out in the UNIFORM CODE OF MILITARY JUSTICE! Link: https://jsc.defense.gov/Portals/99/Documents/UCMJ - 20December2019.pdf?ver=2020-01-28-083235-930

    The authoritarians in the house want to prosecute an actual democratic riot at the capitol on Jan. 6...The capitol rioters were rioting because of authoritarian and onerous decrees placed upon them by state governors and congresscritters. Yeah, and the 2020 election was never investigated, either.:roll:

    Notice the authoritarian house members who want to prosecute the capitol rioters don't give a **** about democracy...That's why house members are authoritarian...Because they don't give a **** about democracy.

    According to The Constitution, Milley has nothing to do with foreign policy...That's the president's job.:roll:

    Yes, Milley should be given a fair trial...That's not to say Milley should be given a fair investigation...I mean, Trump was never given a fair investigation.

    IMO, the joint chiefs possibly performing a coup against a sitting president is worthy of investigation, don't you think so?:roll:

    In a purely civilian matter, the investigation you suggest would work in the prescribed way with a Grand Jury. But, there are no Grand Juries in the U. S. Military!

    The following was written by Attorney Matthew Barry, PLLC: https://mattbarrylaw.com/2020/08/10...Juries,committed the offense/offenses charged. :

    "In the civilian legal system, a Grand Jury acts as a check on the prosecution's power. Essentially, a Grand Jury has to review a case before it can proceed to a trial. There are no Grand Juries in the military.

    Instead of a Grand Jury, the military uses something called a "preliminary hearing." A "neutral" JAG is assigned as the preliminary hearing officer (PHO) and determines whether there is probable cause to believe the accused committed the offense/offenses charged. The PHO also makes a recommendation as how the charges should be disposed of (i.e. General Court-Martial, Special Court-Martial, Summary Court-Martial, dismissed). The prosecutor represents the Government, and an accused and his/her lawyer are present as well. Both sides can present evidence at such a hearing. For a variety of reasons, witnesses are usually not called and statements are used instead."


    Note: a "JAG" refers to "Judge Advocate General" (Corps) personnel: Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge...on, they can,legal advisor to their commander.

    Nor the Real " Big Lie " that initiated use of assembling a militarized zone
    surrounding the Capitol grounds.That Trump and his Rabid gun-tooting base
    are in all liklihood Bound to start trouble { Unlike the Tea Party huh }
    in the Capitol and Key States on Biden's Inauguration day.Not one such act happened.
    In fact Tucker Carlosn did find One example.Some guy was shown outside a state
    capitol { can't recall what state } By Himself Waiving a little American Flag
    in Protest of Biden's Inauguration.I don't believe as much as a Toy Paddle with
    little red rubber ball attached was on or near his person.
    I mean,this isn't even Cartoonish.I think even The Devil would be forced
    to start taking little afternoon naps. To take a needed breather from these moronic,worse than
    Insane Democrat control freaks.

    Please, one request, Dr. Promise Hero -- without going into too much detail, please tell us all which universities you earned your degrees in that led up to your having become an accredited psychiatrist...?

    Next, now that you've made your professional pronouncement regarding Donald Trump, it would be at least equally illuminating to hear what you have to say regarding the current mental state of Joe Biden! We're waiting attentively, and you've got the podium, Dr. Hero....
