Thoughts? The below is from the current National Review....... Woodward and Costa report that General Milley had grave concerns about Trump’s mental stability in the run-up to the 2020 election and through the aftermath of the January 2021 Capitol riot. He was also concerned that the Chinese military would overreact to saber-rattling by Trump, possibly creating an unnecessary military conflict. There are proper ways to air such concerns, such as insisting that presidential directives comply with the law and are properly handled through the chain of command, or marshaling support among the president’s senior advisers to counsel him against rash actions. There are many known occasions of the latter approach working with Trump, who never did order new acts of military force in his last months in office. There are even proper civilian procedures, much discussed and repeatedly attempted during the Trump era, to remove a commander-in-chief.
What is never proper is for an American military officer to go to hostile foreign governments to tell them things at odds with the message the president decides to communicate. |

I'm no expert on military law and I only a brief news article to get me caught up on this, but seems like a very clear-cut case of "no" for me. What did Milley do, aside from add some obstacles to Trump's way in case he tried to start a war? (Which sounds absurd to me, Trump was crazy but not in that way.) It's not like Milley organized a coup to put power in the hands of an unelected military government.

Yes.
Edit: at the very least he had intent to commit treason. The treasonous act itself that everyone’s getting riled up about (tipping off China) didn’t happen but he absolutely would’ve done it if it came to that (trump was never gonna nuke China tho wtf)
