The General needs to be fired. He is politicized beyond redemption. The sole purpose of our military is to kill people and break things that belong to the nation's enemies. This capability has to be so awesome and terrible in consequence that it, unquestionably, deters the aggressive designs of those enemies. It has to be totally apolitical in order to function under civilian leadership, as the founders intended.
Up until Barack Obama and now Joe Biden, our military had been the most successful government entity at racial desegregation, and racial harmony in it's ranks. Now with the advent of Wokeism in the DOD, political generals and admirals have decided to knuckle under to the radicals in Democrat Party and threaten the hard won cohesiveness of our military.
Milley has involved himself in political matters, involved himself in questioning civilian leadership policy decisions. It is not his statutory place to do so. By statute Milley can only advise the President and the SecDef. He can be asked to oversee combatant commands, but in that capacity he has zero command authority over those combatant commands. He can observe and report to the SecDef. He can't order any command to teach CRT to the ranks. Our military needs to fully engaged in training for possible war in the manners I've already mentioned.
Joint Chiefs Chairman Dodges ‘White Rage’ Question: ‘Complicated Topic’

During a press briefing Wednesday, General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, dodged a question about his previous comments about “white rage”, saying it’s a “very complicated topic.”
“I’m not going to address specifically white rage or black rage or Asian rage or Irish rage or English rage or German rage or any other rage. The events of the 6th of January happened, those are all going to get sorted out. Historians will sort it out, commissions will sort it out,” he said.
“But I do think it’s important that we as a professional military not only understand foreign countries and foreign cultures and societies…we also need to understand our own society and understand the soldiers, airmen, marines, and the societies they’re coming from. I think that’s important for leadership to study,” Milley added.
In June, Milley rejected the accusation that the armed forces are going ‘woke’ and defended the U.S. military academy’s incorporation of Critical Race Theory into its curriculum, claiming it’s important for cadets to have some “situational understanding” of American history.
“I want to understand white rage, and I’m white,” he commented during testimony before the House Armed Services Committee in June. “What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America.”
