If this is true GEN Milley must resign. He usurped civilian authority, broke Chain of Command, and violated the sacrosanct principle of civilian control over the military. It’s an extremely dangerous precedent. You can’t simply walk away from that. #dotherightthingintherightway

Replying to @AVindman
I respectfully disagree. If true, this was an extraordinary situation that threatened the federal government.

The CJCS always has the ability to resign rather than implement a awful or unlawful order. What is described here is wrong. Also, no one person is indispensable. There are a half dozen Chief ready to step into that role. There is no “deep state” but this narrative feeds into one.

The basis of the entire Republic is civilian control of the military. There is no "but we think he sucks" exception. Vindman is correct. If true, Milley either goes or we have now put into place a dangerous precedent that only Twitter bluechecks think won't boomerang.
