The same people who wanted people like John Kelly to resign on principal in the face of Trump's immigration policy are now defending Milley for refusing to buck Biden on the Afghan withdrawal plan. Imagine their reactions to a Trump 2025 ordering nukes fired at Iran and Milley's replacement complying. THEN all of a sudden the military not stepping up and stopping something is going to look really popular in the rearview mirror.

I think the difference that Milley highlighted is that he's in uniform, right? Kelly was serving in a political role at the time.

Now do the second part where Trump 2025 tells Milley's replacement to nuke Iran, and then breaks out the biscuit codes and the football.
