Gen Mark Milley, the top US military leader, resisted Donald Trump’s demands that his forces “crack skulls” and “beat the f^^k out” of protesters marching against police brutality and structural racism, according to a much-trailed new book.
“Just shoot them,” the president reportedly said.
CNN reported the latest excerpts from Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost by Michael Bender, a Wall Street Journal reporter. The book will be published in August.
This week, Milley made headlines with remarks before a congressional committee about critical race theory, an academic discipline that explores racism in American law and institutions that has been targeted by Republicans, in relation to the US army and its academy at West Point.

I read the article and am so grateful we had a few adults around Trump to keep him in check. Not the sycophants who fed his ego.

That’s the problem with politician generals. They can’t tell the difference between some mealy mouthed politician who wouldn’t say “sh*t!” If his foot was being amputated and an everyday guy who blows off a little steam and expresses what 80% would like to be able to say in the media. I would be willing to bet that had the general made for the door after saying “Yes Sir” he wouldn’t have made 20 feet before being called back. There are times I wished he would have kept quiet but he often verbalized the frustrations and angers of many American citizens in clear unadulterated English. I refuse to believe any officer could reach General without understanding that the remark was just that, venting. I’m also quite sure this officer realized the political value if this story was released at the right time. Ahhh well the 'stars' have always lured mankind..,,. Just my opinion you see…….
