The generals saved us

Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen Mark Millie, and the military chain of command, were blindsided by a t**** memo ordering all troops to be pulled out of Afghanistan by 15 Jan, before he left office. Gen Millie was outraged and went to see t****'s Security Advisor, Robert O'Brien to demand an explanation. O'Brien claimed he had no idea what was going on. Gen Millie was so alarmed that t**** might do something crazy like attack China, or attack Iran, with nukes, that he called a top secret meeting of the military chain of command to tell them that no order/military strike should be obeyed without his concurrence. Millie thought t**** was unstable and could not be trusted. And that we were in such a dangerous time of risk that he had to take all necessary precautions. He called China's leader twice to reassure them because t****'s erratic behavior had them on edge. Millie actually had an expression for it. He called it "the absolute darkest moment of theoretical possibility for what Trump might do." Wow! If not for Gen Millie and Robert O'Brien talking t**** into rescinding his order

withdrawing troops by 15 Jan, you can see how disastrous it could have been. Steven Miller was on Fox a few weeks ago saying that the t**** admin had no intention of getting any refugee out of Afghanistan. While t**** appointees were keeping the incoming Biden transition team in the dark, we came very close to disaster. At the time, t****'s Secretary of Defense was sycophantic retired lieutenant colonel and the other ranking civilian defense department positions had been replaced with similar t**** cronies. Millie thought he might be witnessing a coup attempt after 6 Jan.
