If General Milley was a completely good guy would we still have troops in Afghanistan? He is an old school military officer who only measures his worth through old style, kinetic war. Even though our and his Commander in Chief wanted us out of Afghanistan that didn’t happen. Instead, those orders were slow walked to avoid executing them.
This can be confusing because we keep hearing the military is in charge. It’s realistic to ask how can that be if Milley isn’t 100% behind MAGA. Is the answer in the fact that he is old school? That irregular warfare is not his strong point and quite possibly the irregular war fighting team had their own chain of command reporting up to the Commander in Chief?
