Mark Milley

Mark Milley is the woke political partisan chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was appointed Army chief of staff in 2015. Milley has been roundly criticized for politicizing the military, spewing Democratic party talking points in sworn congressional testimony, and implementing Marxist policies in the U.S. armed forces. Milley is a proponent of scientific racism.

Milley asserted on July 21, less than a month before Afghanistan fell to Taliban rebels:

“

The Afghan Security Forces have the capacity to sufficiently fight and defend their country ....

”

Since becoming chairperson of the Joint Chiefs, Milley began implementing the socialist revolutionary long march through the institutions advocated by Antonio Gramsci and Rudi Dutschke. President Donald Trump said of Milley, "Milley went to Congress and actually defended Critical Race Theory being shoved down the throats of our soldiers. This Marxist, racist propaganda has no place in our Military—I banned these programs, now Biden and the Pentagon have resumed them. As soon as possible Congress must defund this racist indoctrination. General Milley ought to resign, and be replaced with someone who is actually willing to defend our Military from the Leftist Radicals who hate our Country and Flag."

By military standards, Milley is an obese old white man.

Milley testified before Congress on June 23, 2021 that the Taliban controlled about 81 districts in Afghanistan. Less than a month later, on July 21, 2021 he told reporters the Taliban controlled half of Afghanistan’s 419 districts, or more than twice as many as before. According to media reporting, the Taliban also controlled large stretches of multiple major highways, and at least six international border crossings. Civilian casualties hit a record high in May and June, according to the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan.

The U.S. military left the strategic Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan in the dead of night in early July 2021, leaving behind “thousands of civilian vehicles, including many that no longer had keys, and hundreds of armored military vehicles, such as Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, or MRAPs…” There are reports of the seizure by the Taliban of a “massive boon” of U.S. weapons supplied to and now abandoned by U.S.-trained Afghani soldiers. “The Taliban now find themselves flush with American-supplied tools, without having to raise a single penny.”

Mark Milley told reporters at his July 21, 2021 press conference, “our drawdown continues in a safe and orderly manner.” He continued with the following excerpted statement:

“The Afghan Security Forces have the capacity to sufficiently fight and defend their country, and we will continue to support the Afghan Security Forces where necessary in accordance with the guidance from the president and the secretary of defense. “The future of Afghanistan is squarely in the hands of the Afghan people, and there are a range of possible outcome[s] in Afghanistan. And I want to emphasize repeatedly, and I’ve said this before, a negative outcome, a Taliban automatic military takeover, is not a foregone conclusion. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and make adjustments as necessary.”

Breitbart reported on August 16, 2021 that Milley told senators on a briefing call that U.S. officials are expected to alter their earlier assessments about the pace of terrorist groups reconstituting in Afghanistan.

“Based on the evolving situation, officials now believe terror groups like al-Qaeda and others may be able to grow much faster than expected, according to the person, who had direct knowledge of the briefing but was not authorized to discuss the details of the call publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.” “The Biden administration officials on the call with senators—among them were Milley, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin—said U.S. intelligence agencies are working on forming a new timeline based on the evolving threats, the person familiar with the matter said.”

During a press conference on August 18, 2021 at the Pentagon with Biden defense minister Lloyd Austin, Milley was adamant when he proclaimed: “There was nothing that I or anyone else saw that indicated a collapse of this army and this government in 11 days.” Unfortunately, 23 U.S. Embassy staffers, all Americans, signed the July 13, 2021 cable sent to Antony Blinken warning of rapid territorial gains by the Taliban and the subsequent collapse of Afghan security forces, and offered recommendations on ways to mitigate the crisis and speed up an evacuation. At the same moment the White House was lashing out at the Taliban for violating their promise to allow safe passage for stranded Americans to the Kabul Airport, according to NPR Milley was telling reporters "the Taliban are facilitating the safe passage to the airport for American citizens. That is U.S. passport holders." Sasha Ingber, a reporter for Newsy, wrote on Twitter. “We’ve had Americans get beaten throughout the night. One of them, an American woman, was beaten ‘twice’ even though she was carrying a U.S. passport. Yesterday @PentagonPresSec said Americans are not being impeded as they travel to the Kabul airport, no Americans harmed. The Taliban agreed to let them evacuate,” she continued. “What I am hearing suggests otherwise. Americans have been injured and stopped from boarding planes.”

Milley and Austin and admitted that several US aircraft flew out of the country during the 2021 Rape of Afghanistan. They think they were flown to Russian Federal Republics of Uzbekistan or Tajikistan, but they were not sure. Austin and Milley had no idea how many aircraft were taken.

Leftist proclivities

Milley is notable for a rather obtuse statement in a Congressional hearing: "I want to understand white rage. And I'm white."

Milley said in a House Armed Services Committee hearing he is “widely read” in communist literature and, most notably, “I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military general officers are commissioned [and] noncommissioned officers of being ‘woke,’ or something else because we’re studying some theories that are out there. I’ve read Karl Marx, I’ve read Lenin, that doesn’t make me a communist. I want to understand white rage. And I'm white." Author Lee Smith noted that Milley was not asking the right questions:

"Why are they mad we exported their jobs to China? Why are they mad we send their children to kill and die in strategically pointless foreign wars that advance only our interests? Why are they angry we denigrate their symbols and their monuments, their heroes, and their history? Why are they mad we destroyed their businesses and kept their children from going to school? Why are they mad we didn’t let them visit their loved ones in nursing homes and hospitals as they lay dying? Why are they mad we tell them they are racist, and their country will be remade in the image of those we encourage to cross our borders illegally, and the criminals we send to the streets to kill them? Why are they mad when we tell them that there is no place for them in the new country until they confess to the evil they have done?

Helen Raleigh of The Federalist asks,

Here are some questions for Milley. How can American soldiers of different racial backgrounds fight side-by-side and entrust each other with their lives if their relationship is defined as oppressors and oppressed because of their skin color? How can you ask minority soldiers to defend this nation (and even make the ultimate sacrifice) if they have been told they are victims of this nation’s everlasting racism?

Left: Russian Army recruiting ad. Right: woke progressive U.S. Army recruiting ad approved under Milley's command.

Federalist Publisher Ben Domenech discussed Gen. Mark Milley and the increasingly politicized nature of the U.S. military:

“General Milley’s record of achievements, such as they are, include episodes of profound blundering — a persistent misunderstanding of the national interest. And a dangerous willingness to politicize the army of the United States....Our armed forces remains a stronghold of brave patriots. But once you get that first star on, things change. Advancement becomes about subjective politics, not empirical outcomes. When your next job and your next promotion depend on a vote of the United States Senate, their priorities become your own, and you start to resemble a senator more and more, and a general less and less....This is a group of leaders who are masters at political climate, media engagement, and spending trillions in your taxpayer dollars....They even get the praise of one useful media idiot after another, whose natural inclination is to ‘yes queen’ anyone who agrees with their woke ideology no matter how obvious it is that they fail at any measure of success at their actual job.”
