Less than a day after Trump threatened to send troops into cities across the United States, senior Pentagon official attempted to distance themselves from Trump’s threats to use military force against Americans. Now, it’s being reported that ten buses of troops have arrived in Washington D.C.
Even though not a single governor has reached out to Defense Secretary Mark Esper to request military assistance, Esper is still willing to use the military against Americans.
On Monday, Trump gassed innocent civilians peacefully protesting at Layfayette Park so he could trespass in front of a church he doesn’t attend for a political photo-op.
Americans were outraged and shocked when Trump gassed his own people.
Fun Fact: The Center For Disease Control has confirmed that Trump did use tear gas.
James Miller, a top policy official at the Pentagon, reportedly resigned this week from his role on the Defense Advisory Board due to what he stated was Esper’s support for the gassing of innocent Americans.
Miller declared that Esper violated his oath of office on Wednesday.
Miller—in his resignation letter addressed to Esper and published in The Washington Post—wrote,"When I joined the Board in early 2014, after leaving government service as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, I again swore an oath of office, one familiar to you, that includes the commitment to 'support and defend the Constitution of the United States . . . and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same. You recited that same oath on July 23, 2019, when you were sworn in as Secretary of Defense. On Monday, June 1, 2020, I believe that you violated that oath.”
Miller continued, "Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate the Constitutional rights of their fellow citizens—much less to provide a bizarre photo op for the elected commander-in-chief, with military leadership standing alongside.”
James Mattis also rebuked Trump,"We must reject any thinking of our cities as a 'battlespace' that our uniformed military is called upon to 'dominate.' At home, we should use our military only when requested to do so, on very rare occasions, by state governors. Militarizing our response, as we witnessed in Washington, D.C., sets up a conflict—a false conflict— between the military and civilian society. It erodes the moral ground that ensures a trusted bond between men and women in uniform and the society they are sworn to protect, and of which they themselves are a part.”
Esper has changed his mind twice today, but ultimately he has refused to break with Trump on using our military against Americans because he was reportedly worried about losing his Washington D.C. dinner party invitations. Many Americans are calling Esper a coward.
Americans are now calling for Trump to be impeached again and demanding that Esper resign.
