Milley has neither of those. As for the childish "bonespurs" comment: Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden received five student draft deferments during the Vietnam War, the same number of deferments received by Vice President Cheney. The majority of college students received deferrments back then, as did most who were the only male child in a family. Bill Clinton actually was called to report and he went AWOL by going to Rhodes College, a new world order institution. He (Trump) was given deferments like most college students of the day, meaning he still had to enter the draft when the deferments were over, WHICH HE DID. He failed a physical his first year of draft eligibility. Then he was declared fit AND ENTERED THE DRAFT, but his number (356) was not called. Then the draft ended. So he must not have been a very good draft dodger if he was actually a part of the draft. The draft lottery came two months after Trump received his 1-Y classification. Essentially, even if Trumps birthday, June 14, had been pulled first, he would not have been called to serve, as his number was 356. Research. Do It!

Milley is a drama queen. Only news spinners could imagine that. Trump correctly noted that in the past, generals who tried to conduct their own foreign policy in conversations with an enemy general would probably incur the leader's wrath. Even Pres. Truman fired a far better general for less. Criticizing his former Commander in Chief also reflects poorly on Gen. Milley. Most generals do not write tell all books about their former Commander in Chief even after retirement.

I have been in jail before, not too long, but long enough to know that it takes some kind of mental fortitude to push through. That's knowing I had a short few weeks and that I was going to get to go back to continuing life as normal. Trump will degrade mentally and physically extremely fast. He will definitely die quickly in prison from the mental stress and shock of it. You know...I can't bring myself to feel bad.

[@bchristian85]

Agreed. If Trump gets back in power, I think the civil war that will happen in the US will be the least of the world's concern. He has a worse temperament than Kim Jong Un. He'll use a nuclear weapon. The only reason he didn't during his first term is because of people like General Milley kept him on a leash. That won't be the case in his second term.

War should have become obsolete by now, but what IS important is the fact that he stood between us and a threat to the survival of our democracy itself. The only other General to have led the US military against a domestic enemy was Grant, but it wasn’t Grant who made the stand for freedom then, Lincoln did. Grant just did the fighting for Lincoln. Milley is no Lincoln, but he sure kept Trump from destroying the country, and he did it by NOT allowing an unstable megalomaniac to turn the guns of the US military against you and me.
