And Milley has braced for Trump's return to power as @NorahODonnell reported for @60Minutes, taking "appropriate measures to ensure my safety and the safety of my family."

Milley was not the only one alarmed. Based on our reporting for "Peril," CIA Director Gina Haspel, for instance, told Milley, “We are on the way to a right-wing coup.” cc: @realBobWoodward

(thread) Backstory of the Milley pardon

In late 2020, Gen. Milley began to express private concern about Pres. Trump's conduct. Those concerns became alarm by Jan. 2021 and Milley took steps to reassure foreign military leaders that the U.S. was stable. https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/14/p…

The statement involves a public figure, Steve Bannon, making a controversial suggestion about legal action against Gen. Mark Milley, which is a substantive engagement with public issues related to military conduct, political power, and legal accountability. The tone is accusatory and suggests punitive measures, reflecting a broader political and legal debate.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement suggests legal action against Milley, which could be seen as harmful if not based on legal grounds, potentially violating the principle of doing no harm. [-2]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement targets an individual for legal action, which could be seen as a form of harassment, potentially violating the principle of respecting privacy and dignity. [-2]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in constructive dialogue but rather suggests punitive measures, potentially violating the principle of engaging in constructive criticism and dialogue. [-2]
  4. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement uses a public platform to call for legal action, which could be seen as irresponsible if not grounded in fact, potentially violating the principle of using free speech responsibly. [-2]
