My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

 

Felling a whole lot better today. My test data was messed up, so I have to sign up again. As I’m feeling better, I just must move on. I’ve been conflicted about General Milley’s actions at the end to the Trump presidency. I get that he was concerned about the country. But he should have followed the law. First, he told one of our ‘non-friends’ that he would let them know if Trump ordered an attack, and he hold the Generals to get his approval for a bombing. I’m glad we didn’t get into a war. This needs to be investigated and Gen. Milley should probably resign. Those Generals who agreed to notify him, even though it didn’t happen, should also be investigated. Some or all of them should also resign. They took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not a man. I’m glad I do not have to make the final decision.
