Yesterday's article on Chris Miller's book by Amanda Carpenter is worth a read. It's a reminder that some people who seem MAGA are not simply nuts or opportunistic. Still not a fan of Chris Miller, but I have respect for his breadth of experience and how it informs his views.

Yes, that was a great article. I was amazed that I found myself agreeing with Chris Miller. But in the end, his anger was misplaced. Instead of aiming his anger at being lied to about Iraq at the liars, like George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld, he aimed his anger at "hysterical" Nancy Pelosi. I suspect he codes women's anger as hysterics.
Yes - his blowing off of leaders screaming for help during the riot seems borderline criminal to me. But between his sentiments and Charlie's podcast the other day with that awesome General, I am realizing that deployment ahead of the rally could have been a bad idea, though it was terrible to leave it just to Capitol police.
One other thought on Miller - does it really take that long for a serviceman to realize there is an inherent problem between political goals and the military? And that most of those goals pale in comparison to death and destruction (and cost) of military operations?
