   Hello Dan,

   >You're just a sanctimonious douche.  Trump   
   >asked for 10,000 active duty troops and got   
   >shouted down by Milley.   
      
   General Milley took an oath to defend the Constitution   
   of the United States, yet refused to do so, as shown by   
   his actions.   
      
   General Mark Milley, decked out in combat fatigues, marched   
   lock-step with Donald Trump to the church as orders were given   
   for National Guard to open fire on peaceful protesters (mostly   
   women and children, along with clergy). Did Donald Trump fire   
   General Milley after he wrote a memo and said a few words?   
   Nope. General Milley is still Trump's guy. As if nothing has   
   happened to spoil their fine relationship. What a guy!   
      
   Rather than defending the Constitution of the United States,   
   the thing to do is to support and defend the president!   
   After all, the president doesn't care about the Constitution   
   of the United States, as shown by his hatred of "we the people."   
      
   >Esper got slapped down by the chiefs, which is why you don't   
   >see troops confronted with the awful choice of potentially starting a coup   
   > by disobeying illegal orders.   
      
   Like your dear friend Milley, Esper also took an oath to defend   
   the Constitution of the United States rather than the president.   
   But like Milley, he chose to do nothing to stop the president   
   from having his way in going to war against the American people.   
      
   So, by your lights it is perfectly okay for Americans to kill   
   other Americans, as they would only be "following orders" of a   
   president gone mad. That line of defense did not work out so   
   well for Germans who were prosecuted at Nuremburg. I wonder how   
   well that defense will work out for those who followed the illegal   
   orders of their commander-in-chief?   
      
   General Honor‚ (who also took the same oath as you) had the good   
   sense not to obey the illegal orders given to him by Governor "Bobby"   
   Jindal, who wanted National Guardsmen to use live ammo to kill young   
   black boys who were looting department stores in New Orleans. Talk   
   about a helluva price to pay for stealing shoes, wouldn't you say?   
      
   Back to the crowd at St. John's church -   
      
   You know as well as I do that nobody in that crowd deserved to be   
   shot by rubber bullets, pepper spray, or tear gas. It was a peaceful   
   protest, allowed under our US Constitution, and your fine president   
   and fellow officers could have cared less. They did what they did   
   because the US Constitution means nothing to them. And peoples lives   
   mean even less.   
      
   Black Lives Matter. To all of us. Not just to blacks.   
      
   We the people have a Constitutional right to exercise *all* freedoms   
   noted. You might want to take some time and actually read what the US   
   Constitution says, including all the amendments.   
      
   You can start with the Preamble and go from there. It should not   
   take you long to finish, as the US Constitution is less than 5,000   
   words total (including amendments).   
      
   >The interplay between civilian and military leadership is subtle and   
   > requires great care to avoid setting a precedent that you clearly   
   >cannot fathom the consequences of.   
      
   It doesn't take much to understand that murder is murder.   
   I condemn *all* acts of violence. So should you, and everyone   
   else.   
      
   Hitler needed an excuse to give him what he wanted. He blamed   
   the Jews, and the Communists, for all Germany's problems. So what   
   did he do? He gave Germans `The Night of the Long Knives'.   
      
   Don't think it can't happen here? There were protests in over   
   650 cities throughout this country last night. Even more are expected   
   tonight. The mayor of Minneapolis has given up on it, deciding to   
   disband the entire police force. The mayor of NYC is thinking about   
   defunding his city's police force, although he did not say by how   
   much. What is going to happen when nobody is left to protect the   
   general public from itself?   
      
   America will have its own version of fascism.   
   Fascism with a smile.   
   A huge orange grin smiling at ya.
