You may well have seen this story about Trump’s top general, Mark Milley, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, calling the former President whom he served, a “fascist to the core” and the “most dangerous person to this country.” I am leading with this event for two reasons. First, I have chosen a report that appeared in the British press showing how this story was treated in the foreign press, and how the United States is being viewed in other countries. Second, because, and I am speaking here as an army veteran, former editor of Seapower, one of the largest military journals in the country, and as a former Special Assistant to two Naval Chiefs of Operations, because the media in my view has not properly recognized the story’s importance. Very few journalists are veterans and only a handful cover the Pentagon and the Defense Department. So, I doubt that many recognize that something like this has never happened before in the history of the United States. This is the equivalent of Ulysses Grant calling Abraham Lincoln a traitor, or a cardinal calling the Pope a messenger of Satan. Milley’s comment is a huge deal, and should have received far more attention than it has. It ought to change the election, but I doubt that anything will change the Trump worship of MAGAt world. And that, in itself should be a major story.
