The United States Chief of Staff, General Mark Milley, said the military has only sworn to protect the United States Constitution and has not sworn an oath to a dictator or tyrant.
Milley, who spoke at the opening of an Army Museum, added Wednesday that members of the military have taken an oath to protect the constitution, no matter the cost.
Last June, General Milley said he made a mistake when he accompanied outgoing President Donald Trump to a march near the White House that ended with a group photo session in front of a church.
“I shouldn’t have been there. My presence at the time gave an image that the military was involved in domestic politics,” Milley said at the time, believing this called into question their commitment to maintaining separation between them.
A few days ago, Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper and replaced him with Christopher Miller, director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
Trump’s decision came two days after the media announced his defeat to Democrat Joe Biden in the presidential election.
Estimates from the Edison Research Center on Friday (Thursday night local time) showed that Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump in Arizona.
With this, Democrat Joe Biden extends the margin of victory over the Republican president by 11 votes in the electoral college after the presidential elections that were held on November 3.
Trump has yet to admit defeat, five days after the Edison Center and mainstream media said Biden had exceeded the required 270 electoral college votes to win the presidency.
