“ Moreover, Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller's dismissive attitude toward President Trump's concern about security only exacerbated the chaos. When Trump suggested that 10,000 troops might be necessary, Miller brushed it off as "presidential banter" and failed to treat the matter with the seriousness it deserved. His later remarks that "there was absolutely no way I was putting U.S. military forces at the Capitol" underscored the dereliction of duty that allowed a peaceful protest to devolve into a riot. Had Miller followed orders, two unarmed protestors, Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland, might still be alive today.”

Don't believe this BS. It's full of mistakes and misrepresentations. Chris has given several interviews where he along with Kash said Trump authorized 10,000 troops. That is all the president can do, authorize them, the Speaker of the House has the final word on Capitol Security. Speaker Pelosi refused them even when the Capitol Police were begging for them. Chris was never "ordered" to bring in troops because the President doesn't have the authority to give that order.
Chris did what he was tasked to do by Trump. He moved all of the Groups aka SOCOM out from under Pentagon command and put them in control of themselves. This put the fear of God into the Pentagon. SOCOM's official headquarters is at McDill in Fla. But it's real stronghold and it's booger eating corps (puter geeks) is inside Cheyenne Mountain, former home of NORAD.
Chris gave the speech about the reorganization in front of the Groups men at Ft. Bragg on November 18, 2020 after Trump had "lost" the election. Kind of odd to move SOCOM under his command as Acting SecDef when he was just about to leave. That because once it was under his command he was able to hand the reins of the Groups over to SOCOM.
Btw, this video has been shadow banned.
Special Operations Command Structure and Forces report to Acting Secretary of Defense, Chris Miller
Thanks
I remember at the time, after the '20 election, watching Trump make all these moves; firing people, appointing new people, etc. At the time I couldn't understand the logic of people accepting these appointments, because it seemed they would just be replaced by the Biden admin. a few months later.
About a year later I began reading the www.Devolution.link series, and it all began to make sense.
This is excellent info. Thanks.
