Excerpt
"His calls with the Chinese and others in October and January were in keeping with these duties and responsibilities conveying reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability," Butler said. "All calls from the chairman to his counterparts, including those reported, are staffed, coordinated and communicated with the Department of Defense and the interagency."
The Milley phone calls were described in excerpts from the forthcoming book "Peril" by Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. The book says Milley told Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army that he would warn his counterpart in the event of a U.S. attack.
Milley was appointed chairman of the Joint Chiefs in 2019 by Trump and kept on by Biden. In that position Milley does not command any troops but rather is an adviser to the president and to the secretary of defense.
So left me get this straight during hearing today with Secretary of State. He would not comment on it and also said it was within General Milley's right to do so out of good faith. So let me get this straight. It's OK to call an enemy and warn them if a President/United States of America is going to launch an attack. Causing thousands of American soldiers to die.
Last time I checked that would be treason against the United States of America. Oh yeah btw General Milley is refusing to testify at the hearing.
