Milley says the military doesn’t swear oath to a ‘wannabe dictator’ in apparent swipe at Trump
The military swears an oath to the constitution not to Trump or any other wannabe dictator, look what happen to Germany when they swore an oath to Hitler?!!
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]CNN — [/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]In an impassioned and at time furious speech, departing Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley defiantly proclaimed that the US military does not swear an oath to a “wannabe dictator.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]It was a bitter and pointed swipe that appeared unmistakably targeted at former President Donald Trump, who has in recent days accused Milley of “treason” and suggested that he should be put to death for his conduct surrounding Trump’s bid in 2021 to remain in office despite losing the presidential election.

[FONT=cnn_sans_display]“We are unique among the world’s militaries,” Milley said. “We don’t take an oath to a country, we don’t take an oath to a tribe, we don’t take an oath to a religion. We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or a tyrant or a dictator.”[/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]“And we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator,” he spat. “We take an oath to the Constitution and we take an oath to the idea that is America – and we’re willing to die to protect it.”[/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]Although he was appointed by Trump in 2018, Milley has in many ways been shadow-boxing with the former president since the summer of 2020, when Milley appeared briefly alongside Trump as he walked to a church outside of Lafayette Square for a photo op during the George Floyd protests. Milley, who was in uniform, later apologized publicly for “creating a perception of the military involved in domestic politics.” The apology outraged Trump.
[/FONT]
[FONT=cnn_sans_display]There were other times that Milley’s comments were directly at odds with the former president. In summer 2020, he backed the effort to rename Army bases named for Confederate generals and testified before Congress that Confederate leaders had committed “treason.”
