    The military doesn’t have the same latitude to criticize the President like this that the rest of us do. He can’t legally say stuff like this until after retirement

      Hiding behind the law to escape doing what’s morally right is awfully convenient. Especially since he’s not saying this for free, he’s selling a book.

      Edit: Bob Woodward is selling the book, not Milley. But I stand behind the rest of what I said.

        The retired general isn’t selling a book; Bob Woodward, the journalist who helped expose Watergate decades ago, interviewed him and is selling a book.
