“I’ve read Mao Zedong. I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist. So, what is wrong with understanding … the country which we are here to defend? I want to understand White rage. And I’m White. What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that? I want to find that out.”
—Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley, lecturing the Z (as in Zero) Brothers, Florida Republicans Mike Waltz and Matt Gaetz, at yesterday’s House Armed Services Committee hearing on the teaching of critical race theory at West Point.
“With Generals like this it’s no wonder we’ve fought considerably more wars than we’ve won.”
—Tweet by Matt Gaetz following Milley’s testimony (Notice he didn’t have the cajones to say it to Milley’s face.)
“And in what war has Gaetz fought?”
“Matt Gaetz – he’s the one who hanging out with underage girls right? This person has some gall to take a swipe at the military…but only on social media when no one is around.”
“Matt Gaetz is a one-man ignorance parade.”
“My faith in the intelligence of our military brass grew exponentially after Milley verbally byatch-slapped Gaetz so publicly. Shut him all the way down like it was Congressional WWE but with class and dignity.”
“Gaetz needs to keep his head down and mouth shut …and stay 500 yards away from schools and playgrounds.”
“It’s hilarious to see Gaetz shamelessly displaying himself (but then teen girls are used to Gaetz displaying himself).”
“White Rage? Look no further than trump and those that choose to embrace this charlatan; makes them mad when they are exposed for what they stand for: STUPID.”
“With supposed citizens like Gaetz, it is a wonder we’ve won any war. Fortunately, the military trains soldiers, not serial sexual predators.”

And this is relative how?
Is this Hootenanny Power, or what?
General Milley always impresses and Gaetz is representative of a group of people who should never have been elected to anything – the fact they were is a sad harbinger of a continuing split in the perception of reality. There should be only one reality, but could this be evidence that the parallel universes contemplated by quantum physics are real? Mass hysteria? Both? Neither? Whatever it is, it is spinning out of control and making me crazy.
Well said and right on point, Tom. Terry Murphy USMC Veteran
General Milley’s statement was the best thing in the news this week. What a wonderful intelligent response to an idiot questioner.
I would have asked GAetz the names of the officers he talked to. No Mr. Winham you are not crazy and trust me ( I drink and know many things), General Miley is correct and Gaetz is a coward and liar like Trump. We must never give up and keep learning. Great note Tom. ron thompson
