Top GOP Senator To Milley: 'Answer The Questions, Come Clean With The American People'

To be honest. I think sometimes there are times when one can't follow immoral or unethical directives (What makes our U.S. military unique). From what I see on the surface....I think General Milley did the right thing. While more information may change my opinion I would say from what I understand he is a hero. There were long term assets that needed to be protected from misuse. 

This goes back to finding the right people to run our country beyond either party. We have selected and moved up the ranks "connected" people without thinking about who should should or should not actually be running our country. Our best should be at the top. We know that many of the lead people should not be in line for president (There are some good ones there too.) 

I advocate for allowing the best and brightest to move up the ranks and take positions where they can be the most help. While every society has a "connected" class, they have not shown themselves to be particular helpful over the past few years. We need new people, new ideas, and more stable approaches to solving our pressing problems.

Having good flow between the bottom and top of society helps to ensure that the right people are making it to the right positions. We can respect legacy advantages but only to a certain point. Modern democracies will be defined by the capacity of society as a whole (i.e. human capital) and not by a sliver from the top i.e. caste and wealth systems. (I know lots of people in the top and many are good people. Yet, we need more flow from different social classes based on merit and not priviledge.)

What does it have to do in this situation? Perhaps more thoughtful people should be candidates for president. From what I understand, General Milley did the right thing and maintained his cool under very difficult circumstances. He did his military duty even when it could have meant he could be personally punished for it (While we don't want that in 99% of cases for officials to question presidents but he took the risk and seemed to be right.). Maybe there is more to the story but that Is what I understand at the moment.
