I assume he&#8217;ll soon be working for a major defense contractor, though he might go into academia so he can fully understand &#8220;white rage&#8221;, but I digress. On his way out, the General gave one of his many interviews to the news media. He made a fool of himself, to the surprise of nobody familiar with his tenure as CJCS.<\/p>\n<p>Milley has led a highly politicized DoD. He&#8217;s so politicized himself, that during the waning days of the Trump Administration, he allegedly had the other senior officers of the military swear an allegiance to him. At about the same time, Milley also spoke to his counterpart at the head of the Chinese People&#8217;s Liberation Army, and advised the man that should we attack China, Milley would give him a heads up.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, Milley again engaged in partisan politics, immediately after noting that it is inappropriate for him to do so. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/president-biden-general-mark-milley-60-minutes\/\">CBS News Has the quotes.<\/a> When asked about Biden&#8217;s age (and Trump&#8217;s age) as it relates to the coming presidential election, he said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t comment on the former president&#8217;s mental health, physical health and I&#8217;m not going to comment on the current president&#8217;s mental health or physical health. I think that&#8217;s highly inappropriate for the senior officer of the United States military to do that,&#8221; Milley said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He then immediately goes on to comment on the president&#8217;s mental and physical health.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Milley, in his role as the nation&#8217;s highest ranking military officer, regularly met with Mr. Biden. He said the president was &#8220;fine&#8221; each time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How people interpret that is up to them, but I engage with him frequently and alert, sound, does his homework, reads the papers, reads all the read-ahead material. And he&#8217;s very, very engaging in issues of very serious matters of war and peace and life and death,&#8221; Milley said. &#8220;So if the American people are worried about an individual who is, you know, someone who&#8217;s making decisions of war and peace and has access to, you know, makes the decisions of nuclear weapons and that sort of thing, I think they can rest easy.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There are very few people in the country that would describe Biden as &#8220;alert&#8221; or that he&#8217;s &#8220;very engaging.&#8221; It&#8217;s obvious to even his supporters that what limited cognitive faculties Biden began his life with, he&#8217;s lost almost all of them. Just last week, his staff had to cut in and end a press conference when the old man began one of his many mumbling, ramblingly incoherent tangents.<\/p>\n<p>As an example of someone who dealt with Biden only once, an ESPN reporter (the very definition of a softball interview for a sitting president) has some comments on Biden&#8217;s mental wherewithal. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/sports\/2023\/10\/06\/he-couldnt-finish-his-sentences-sage-steele-details-heartbreaking-interview-with-joe-biden\/\">From Breitbart<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Former ESPN anchor Sage Steele recently shared the \u201csad\u201d details of her 2021 interview with Joe Biden. An interview in which, according to Steele, Biden lost his train of thought and \u201cstruggled\u201d to maintain focus.<\/p>\n<p>In an appearance on Bill Maher\u2019s Club Random podcast, Steele said the president \u201ccouldn\u2019t finish his sentences\u201d and frequently \u201ctrailed off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe human aspect of what we\u2019re witnessing right now, to me, is heartbreaking,\u201d Steele explained.<\/p>\n<p>Steele also said that Biden couldn\u2019t remember her name.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so he started to tell football stories of his greatness,\u201d Steele said. \u201cHe goes, \u2018I have the best hands.\u2019 What do you say to that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steele continued, \u201cAnd here\u2019s the saddest thing. His voice just trailed off. He said, \u2018I was good,\u2019 and then he went silent, and he goes \u2026\u2018Uh, never mind.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s condition clearly hasn\u2019t improved since Steele\u2019s interview with him two years ago. Earlier this month, White House staffers had to cut the president\u2019s mic after he began rambling incoherently in response to a question.<\/p>\n<p>Sage Steele left ESPN in August after settling a free speech lawsuit against the network.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>General Milley, I think I speak for\u00a0<em>a lot\u00a0<\/em>of Americans when I say, &#8220;Don&#8217;t let the door hit you on the way out.&#8221; I&#8217;m sure the Chinese are sad to see you go. It&#8217;s not often you get the highest ranking officer in your chief opponent&#8217;s military to be willing to warn you of a coming surprise attack. That&#8217;d be like Admiral Yamamoto calling Admiral King to tell him to watch the horizon at Oahu on Sunday mornings in December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Mark Milley left office this week and went into retirement. &hellip; <a title=\"Milley clowns himself once more as he leaves office\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=148216\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Milley clowns himself once more as he leaves office<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":664,"featured_media":142125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[643,518,237],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-148216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2024-election","category-biden","category-big-pentagon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/664"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=148216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/142125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=148216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=148216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=148216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
