From American Military News [1]
Former Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller on Wednesday called on Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley to resign over phone calls with his Chinese counterpart that Miller said were unauthorized and “disgraceful.”
According to excerpts released this week from the forthcoming book, “Peril” by journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, Milley held secret phone calls with a Chinese counterpart on Oct. 30, 2020, and Jan. 8, 2021. In one of the phone calls, Milley allegedly said, “General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”
Let’s go with Dan Bongino for a little backfill on this:

Now, the obvious question, more correctly the obvious answer to Dan’s question, is yes we did see treason.
But the thing is it’s not like something new has occurred here. What we are seeing here is precisely the desired outcome of the Obama Biden administration. You will recall the purge that they were doing in the Pentagon in the first few weeks of that administration. You will recall I commented on the subject a couple of weeks ago:
But let’s consider that the military you’re talking about firing were the ones who were left after Biden and Obama fired all the military types who believe in a strong America, and who thought that at the very least Obama’s policies were buffoonish.
Remember also that what was left in the Pentagon also the ones responsible for the worst military disaster in American history.
We’ll also remember that I received a healthy helping of horse droppings over my comments about Colonel Scheller [2] who I still hold did the right thing.
Complain all you like how about how what he did was in direct violation of the UCMJ.
I’m only partially sympathetic to that argument. It’s like strict gun laws. Criminals don’t follow them. Criminals don’t follow the UCMJ either and the ones actually defending this country are hobbled by our consistently one-sided enforcement of it. Violations of the UCMJ are routinely ignored if they benefit Democrats. That’s always been the pattern here.
Mark Milley deserves a life jail term at least, if not a firing squad. But first I want to know who else knew about this and said nothing, because they should be in jail as well in the next cell over.
Costa and Woodward should be considered for jail terms as well. It takes a good 4 months to produce a book. The obvious question is why they were sitting on this story for as long as they were.
Look, I think we can assume that Costa and Woodward didn’t get their information from The general. Other people must have known and must have been their source. It’s also implausible to me that the CIA and other intelligence agencies were unaware of the conversation between the generals and what was said.
