I don’t want to attempt to speak for anyone else. But where I think he was trying to go with it was this.
Milley brought back the uniform to honor them. However his actions, combined with now wearing that uniform could be viewed as an insult to them. Of course the mere fact that he reintroduced the uniform, perhaps in an effort to equate himself and others with them, could also be viewed as an insult.
But I get your point, and I agree that wearing any uniform and pulling this shit is the bigger offense.
All SOF has a bell curve, too. Turds get through the pipeline.
I don’t know Milley from Adam, but I can say from what I have read he’s a disingenuous, political, slimy, POS who traded in his manhood and any knowledge on sound doctrine for stars and flags. From what I have heard he is so disliked some of his former units have unofficially PNG’d him and created distance.
Yeah well show me where he previously said he was some kind of warrior from within. Obviously we know about the Chinese “I’ll let you know” comment, and that was bad enough. Now he openly and brazenly admits his agenda was bigger than just “letting China know”. Gist of the OP is to point out it goes way beyond that, and now there is tacit proof.
But thank you for now making me pay attention…:rolleyes:
See it’s stuff like that which baffles me. And those are bronze stars w/ V device. I wasn’t able to look up his actions that earned them, but I’m assuming it was earned. How does a guy get from there to his current political posture?
None of them is with a V device. He has never fired a shot in combat or been in direct combat himself. He has a string of assignments as staff. His last command, I think, was a rifle BN. When he got his SF tab, he didn’t go to a team, he went and took command of a rifle company. I know some who were at West Point with him and they uniformly say he was a political scumbag back then.
DAMMIT, I just looked that up the other day and some military page indicated bronze stars W v device because I suspected they were campaign stars. Now I can’t find it and every thing else I read stated campaign stars. F’ing internet.
A traitor is a traitor, regardless of what devices they peacock on their uniform. Milley struts that bedazzled uniform around like a Chinese general, which for all we know he may as well be! :mad:
Thats the easy peasy way to the top.
I saw the aftermath of Desert Storm and how awards were handed out.
I lost all respect for any Officer wearing a Bronze Star, because they all got a Bronze Star. Everyone in the TOC got a Bronze Star. We had a Lieutenant leave his platoon while they were under fire to get back to the Company, He got a Bronze Star.
I saw a lot of scummy enlisted guys warm a desk in S-3 for like 8 years in Fort Hood, they went from E-6 to E-7 sitting in the same Master Gunner seat and getting fat.
I came from Germany and looked around and thought this joints being run by the Mob, it’s got nothing to do with the Army.
Talk about a wake up call.
