...and I've had to deal with people that I couldn't stand. That part of adulting. Wishing harm on others that you don't even know or have never met based on ideological positions is a special kind of evil. Especially when you've sworn to the Hippocratic Oath. It has been based on First, Do No Harm since the ancient Greeks.
Regardless of Trumps actions or word on Milley, these 3 people put their ideals in front of their professional ethics.
Now, why did Trump say what he did? Just so I wouldn't get it wrong, I asked Grok. Here's the results.
This stems from two phone calls in late 2020 and early 2021, during the final months of Donald Trump's first presidency:
The calls were first detailed in the 2021 book Peril by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa (Washington Post journalists), based on sources including direct accounts.
In the October 30, 2020 call he specifically said words to the effect of:
"If we're going to attack, I'm going to call you ahead of time. It's not going to be a surprise."
It seems to me that is a military leader acting on his own initiative and/or agenda and if the opposite viewpoint was considered, what if we were poised for an attack but the President was hesitant and the same type of decision to go against civilian leadership and launch the attack regardless of what the President says?
Would barrack HUSSEIN obama have tolerated a General to go against his orders? Would the left lose their minds if he reminded that an act like that would have been punishable by a military execution at a previous time in our history?
