    Why didn't Patton warn Germany about Normandy?

    Milley indicated he would based on his call to China.

    Would the Pentagon have endorsed Patton if he called Germany and told them that he would warn them about any invasion?

    When has any General in the past promised to warn other non-allied countries before the US did took action?

    We are not talking about tests and games here.

    While I cannot understand how if he had called this could be considered anything less than spying at the very least we must remember it has not been verified that he actually made such a call. Bear in mind this was revealed in a book by almost washed up Bob Woodward, apparently trying to regain his bringing down Nixon fame. The revelation is based on the testimony of 200 unidentified sources.

    So, merely based on his dismal performance in the withdrawal and surrender in Afghanistan he should immediately be removed from his position and stripped of his pension.

    I doubt anything will ever happen to him short of maybe an assassin's bullet in the future

    I was thinking along your lines and espionage is the correct charge here.

    While Woodward is a sensationalist author the General has confirmed the calls in question did take place through spokespersons. He is very proud of his potential treason being an Ass who thinks he is the Government like many Deep State bureaucratic monsters on the left who should be in prison!




    Also notice we have no official transcripts (redacted or otherwise) compared to Trump releasing his questioned phone call and shocked Democrats who hoped he would not. As Biden seems to be doing with General Miley and we know they exists somewhere! The obvious ploy that the story goes away and the press on his side of course.

    Keep this story Alive!

    Just for starters an opinion about election results is not relevant to claims of Foreign Policy misconduct. There is a Constitutional process to remove a sitting President so follow that or commit treason.

    Note Al Gore was VP when he did the same thing and lost his claim, so pay attention!

    Al Gore wasn't the Commander-in-Chief and he wasn't a lunatic surrounded by civilian nodwells.

    The Office of VP has the same level of potential responsibility and childish name calling is not making a valid point, so I suggest you try again...................
