General Mark Milley was the most openly partisan chairman in the history of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Julian Zelizer: Milley may be the greatest uniformed antagonist to the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law today.
Zelizer says Milley's tenure was that of a strongman who accelerated a silent coup by the defense establishment.
Douglas MacArthur was the last U.S. general who was as comfortable challenging a president’s policy position publicly as Milley.
Douglas MacArthur never attempted to place himself atop the civilian chain of command.
In contrast, Milley became a symbol of a cabinet institution that is at near-peer level with the presidency.
Milley unapologetically undermined the command of Donald Trump while enabling and defending President Biden's disastrous policies.
