Thank you for sharing that Tom. It’s very powerful. He’s a good man and will be missed. I love his “wanna be dictator” remark. Thank you General Milley and stay safe.

Yes, indeed. It must have taken great restraint to keep from calling him Cadet Bonespurs. Gen. Milley has served in hot spots all over the world. The operative word is served.

All the best to General Milley and his family, who also served in their own way.

We all should have known that from the escalator ride, he was oozing hate from the first. Glad the cat is out of the bag….

Thank you General for protecting our country from enemys abroad and most recently from within.

Semper Fi, Sir.

Preach it, brother…but I doubt the person referred to in the general’s speech gives a flying f*** about duty, honor, and country. Everything with him is a transaction, not about service to country and the ideals of freedom and democracy. Good for you, General!

Thank you for this. Along with Biden's speech at the McCain library dedication, it has been a great week for reminding us of what is at stake in this country.

If (no when) trump loses the election, we are going to face a lot of election denying, gun-loving nuts. We may really NEED a military that understands what he is saying if the Insurrection Act must be invoked.

We should keep sharing these two speeches until Election Day in November 2024.

He spoke like a General that could command an army, because he is and did. We need to hear more of that, a lot more, that’s 2 speeches this week, the President and the Chairman, their righteous anger was like a tonic, I’d like another please.

Thank you Tom. We needed to hear that. I will second the previous comments. Soldiers don't get any better than that. You have a smart and perceptive group here.

A real Soldier and a true American Patriot. I simply cannot respect someone more than I respect General Milley.

A damn fine soldier who has served his country, the oath he swore long ago and the men and women under his

command. The best to you,

Sir and your family.
