Last three administrations have cast a very dark shadow over our military leadership. Talented, accomplished, dedicated and professional men and women working under the yoke of self-serving, often times erratic, career politicians. Good luck with that. General Milley is a good man working in extremely difficult circumstances.

He was also the one that told Kissinger that if they hadn't stopped the bombing of the North, that they would've given in.
