Milley disgraced himself, permanently, by walking through Lafayette Square in his dress uniform. It took the combined weight of retired generals who matter – Mattis, Allen, Thomas, Brooks, etc. – before he apologized. That was still a week *after* the toady Mark Esper did the same. Everything he has said and done afterward, to include this bare-minimum testimony (Gaetz attacked the priesthood that is the General Officer class; that is different than standing up for a principle) and most certainly the leak planted by his allies and perhaps his office long after the fact of its relevance, has been reputational rehab. It was a mistake for Biden to leave him in his position.

Our empire is far larger than any this world has ever seen. It was just a matter of time before we turned our warlike gaze inwards. The powerful always need an enemy. If the enemy is not "them" then it is "you."
