America’s woke generals and the Military-Industrial Complex must be purged to save the nation…
Revelations from a new book, Peril, by Bob Woodward and Rob Costa, reveal just how deep the spiritual rot in the military goes. In the days after the January 6 protest, General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, promised, in the event of a war, to give aid and comfort to China. According to the Washington Post, after the Capitol protest, Milley sent secret communiques to the head of the People’s Liberation Army, promising that “If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”
In a decent country such a brazen act of collusion with a foreign power by one of the most prominent leaders of the armed forces would be met with immediate and unrelenting backlash. Instead, this betrayer of the Constitution and the principle of civilian leadership of the military is a liberal darling. At the inauguration, Joe Biden thanked Milley for undermining President Trump in the final weeks of his presidency.
Milley, before reaching out to China, sat down with the service’s top officers and demanded from them what amounted to an oath—none of them would launch a nuclear weapon without his approval. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff went behind the President’s back to secure control over the nation’s most important weapons.
Our generals are losers abroad, and grifters at home. They parrot MSNBC talking points on Twitter and grovel before Fauci. This is bad enough. But Milley’s actions show that America’s top military officers have reached another level of delusion. They fancy themselves a new praetorian guard to protect the nation—as construed by elite editorial boards—from the people’s elected representatives.
This deep state is in control. It is clear that no populist elected leader can trust America’s security establishment. As Senator Chuck Schumer warned President Trump on Rachel Maddow’s show in 2017, the intelligence community has “six ways from Sunday of getting back at you.”
The military establishment is gloating now and flexing its muscle. After the election, outgoing Syria envoy Jim Jeffrey admitted that the Pentagon and State Department had consistently lied to Trump about troop levels in Syria. Before he left office, Trump’s order to have troops out of Afghanistan by January 15 was overruled by the establishment. Trump, far from trying to start a war on his way out of office, sought to end one.
White House spokesperson Jen Psaki claims that Milley was following “constitutional orders to prevent unlawful military actions.” According to her, Trump “was implementing an insurrection.” The claim that Trump wished to start a war to distract from the election, upon which Milley based his collusion with the Chinese government, was an utter lie. Nor was Trump implementing an insurrection; the FBI has dispensed with this myth, finding that there was no coordinated plot associated with the Capitol riot.
There will be no hearings, serious journalistic investigations, or outcry from the establishment.
Milley will go unpunished.
He will retire with full honors and full pension.
The Pentagon will never reform itself from the inside.
The entire military-industrial complex (MIC) must be dismantled if we are ever to have again an armed forces consistent with the Founders’ republican virtues.
The American Right must be willing to starve the Pentagon of its lifeblood. The most important asset the people have is their bodies. American mothers and fathers need to stop feeding their children into the machine. Heartland American boys and girls have better things to do and better leaders to serve under. The American people must go on strike until the generals once again learn to subordinate themselves to the people.
GOP politicians must assist their constituents in this noble task. They must find real courage and demand radical institutional change. This starts with deep and abiding budget cuts for the Pentagon and the rest of the MIC. The Founders’ distrust of permanent standing armies must be restored.
America should once again rely on true citizen soldiers for national defense.
The world has changed. America’s grand strategy must change with it. Our current conventional force cannot defeat insurgencies anyway. The proliferation of nuclear weapons, on the other hand, means that “Great Power conflict” is virtually impossible. There is no need to keep buying weapons systems designed to fight a redux of WWII. Our bases overseas are a relic of the liberal humanitarian world order. Having 20,000 troops in Okinawa didn’t prevent the Chinese Communist Party from using Twitter bots to stir up hysteria over Covid. Our dozen aircraft carriers didn’t stop our politicians from implementing lockdowns and vaccine passports. America’s air bases in Turkey, Germany, and Diego Garcia didn’t keep the Taliban from retaking control of their country.
America was never the world’s policeman. An empire in the name of democracy and freedom was always an idiotic idea.
Widespread gun ownership is a much better guarantor of American liberty than any SEAL team or aircraft carrier. The Militia Act of 1792 is a much better model for national defense than our current setup. The act enrolled every able-bodied male citizen between the ages of 18 and 45 into the militia. It also demanded that each of these men provide themselves with a “good musket or firelock” and “a sufficient bayonet.” Far from trying to take away firearms, the Founders demanded every American male citizen possess one.
Self-sufficiency in arms is the foundation of liberty, national sovereignty, and independence. Tyrannies never arm their citizens; republics always do. Our security as a nation should not depend on over-hyped “super soldiers.” The “silent professionals” with their podcasts, book deals, and TV appearances play, in the grand scheme of things, only a very minor role in protecting the life, liberty, and property of the American people.
The unmitigated corruption in the leadership of the armed forces is a sign of deep cultural rot. The patriotic flag-waving of the post-9/11 response has been used to great harm against the American people. An unwillingness by the political class to criticize and hold accountable those charged with defending the nation has led to our current spiritual crisis. America can’t win overseas, her generals sell out her leaders to foreign powers, and the retired members of this elite class do nothing but gobble up fat checks from the corporations they once purchased from. This is an untenable state of affairs.
It is time to restore republican virtue, to sweep clean our military establishment.

It’s over for the American Empire. Rather than seeking a rational and peaceful way of ending The Empire, They are committing actions that guarantee a chaotic and likely violent dissolution. Sooner or later when the truth comes out about their Fake Pandemic and their very real population-reducing Shot, people will demand the end of the United States. I knew the hand writing was on the wall years ago when the government started telling manufacturers how to build a flush toilet.
Yes…we could have engineered a much softer landing but the Masters of the Universe want chaos and death.
Trump makes a benign and meaningless phone call to some Ukie cunts … or Russia, I don’t even give a fuck …. and the god-forsaken demonic Libfuks go apeshit crazy demanding impeachment.
General Miles Of Shit commits actual treason by any definition of the word … and DementiaFuk* has complete confidence in that shriveled old worm of a man.
That drone strike to kill the Kabul airport bomber? OOPSY!!! We killed, err murdered, an innocent man, a guy who helped America actually, along with SEVEN CHILDREN. Oops, so solly, my bad … here, let us give you a few bucks for your grief!
I don’t need no fucken book to know the MIC needs to be dismantled.
But ….. HOW???
Good luck with all your pie-in-sky solutions. I respect your intentions. Really. Still, I would appreciate if you’d stop blowing smoke up my ass.
Since the end of WWII anyone and everyone who challenged the MIC has failed spectacularly, often at great personal cost. Like, death. See JFK, and others.
INOPERABLE TUMOR, pal. Do know what means? It’s when the cancer is so completely intertwined with your vital organ(s) that attempting to remove the tumor WILL kill the patient.
That, sir, is your MIC. We are in a sorry fucken state of affairs. Good luck with your Dismantling Project. At least you’re giving it a good ol’ college try.

Speaking of college. …. hey, football fans! …. don’t forget the FUCK BIDEN chants!!! May I suggest you do so after every first down?
The only way I can see to shut down the MIC is to starve them utterly of recruits. I don’t know how exactly, but my suspicion is that the patriotic areas of the country will have to totally change their attitudes toward the military. No more “thank you for your service”. Switch it to “too bad you got fooled into signing up”. The message should be “don’t be a sucker”. If you hear that your nephew is thinking of joining, say “oh that’s fucking great – letting Kamala Harris order him to battle Americans.” Or “well, I guess somebody’s gotta die for Israel. Might as well be Johnny.”
Here in what used to be rural Texas, the folks were gung ho and ready to serve…that’s changed. I have a friend who has a son, all gung ho and then they saw the light and now he’s not even remotely interested in sacrificing himself for the spawns of Satan. I told him I’d kick his ass up between his shoulder blades if he even looked like he was going to enlist in ANY form of US military. He’s 6’6″ and sixteen years old and a crack shot. I told him to train to serve and protect the citizens, NOT the politicians and their controllers.
100% correct.
But, here’s the thing, Iska ….. there is an ENDLESS SUPPLY of recruits.
Where? Inner cities. Ghettos. Illegals. The poor (of every race). Offer them a monthly salary that they know they have zero chance of ever making on their own … and they will sign up in droves.
Mao’s murderous rampage was pretty much executed by China’s rural poor and disenfranchised. We have a lot of those here in Amerika also, I think.
Correct.
The only way is from the inside. Meaning real women and men of valor who care about this country just decide to arrest these assholes and throw them in the brink and promote the ones who give a shit.
They can feel free to arrest Pelosi, AOC, The Cackler, the Two Minute Egg, Mrs. Two Minute Egg, The Pants Monster, Meth Eyes, Mad Max, The Queen Lich and her Consort, and all the rest.
Mordor needs a giant flush.
They would never be able to control the inner city poor and illegal aliens, let alone discipline them into anything resembling an organized force that respects and obeys a chain of command. There’s no comparison to Mao’s rural Chinese because the Chinese are disciplined people who were raised with Confucian values.
Iska,
EXACTLY
“The only way I can see to shut down the MIC is to starve them utterly of recruits.”
I agree that would be good, but, they would just make service mandatory, like South Korea, Israel, etc.
With deferments(endlessly) for the ‘better’ people, of course.
2 of my 4 kids were in the military. I was proud of them . I would never suggest such an action for any kid now. Well maybe trannies, queers and niggers. What better use for them than cannon fodder.
May I propose a new drinking game called “Fuck Biden”. Take a drink when someone or group yells “FUCK BIDEN” and if they yell “FUCK JOE BIDEN” then chug what is in your can at that time. Cheers
Was treason part of ” trust the plan” too ?
Possibly. The Dhimmicrats and other Prog fuques who railed on about how we are all Q-anon followers seem to be the only people who know what the hell that is. I’ve never met anybody who did anything but shrug their shoulders when asked if they knew what is was. Hillary’s campaign probably invented Q too.
The code of the schoolyard demands that this fink be taken to the empty lot after school and beaten within an inch of his life. How does he not imagine that betraying one country to another is going to endear him to the next country, just a useful idiot that’s all.
He’s a toad and toady, a fat closet queer who wouldn’t say shit if he had a mouthful of it. He’s a politician in a uniform and asskisser extraordinare and he and his ilk are legion. He’s so far up Nancy Pelosi’s ass its a wonder the evil old sow can walk.
Repeal the National Firearms Act of 1968 for starters.
On many levels, the military has become a jobs program for unskilled, low-I.Q., otherwise unemployable minorities. I served in the Navy decades ago and was shocked at the unprofessional behavior. Once we were loading torpedoes at Seal Beach, Ca, and some wires got crossed and started sparking at a control station and the two black Chief Petty Officers supervising the operation took off running. Nothing happened to them. Some gunner’s mates and I were enraged knowing nothing would happen.
Has it been proven that Milly did this?
Don’t forget both Bob Woodward and Rob Costa have no problem with this.. They are part of this destruction and should also be dealt with.
They gotta keep it under wraps to be released to generate maximum interest for book sales. We’re gonna need more rope.
‘Wokeness’ is a pernicious illness that is destroying the nation and the world. It is an ugly, hate filled virus of the mind that can only be countered with the beautiful heritage of human artistic achievement coupled with a revived appreciation of the natural world.
Yes, complete cultural secession. Do not participate in anything, other than what is absolutely essential for survival.
