    So the reason given is that Gen. Milley delayed the response to Jan 6. If thats true, then theres good reason for a dishonorable discharge, possibly some time in Leavenworth. Execution is a bit much, but it is the traditional punishment for military members committing treason.

      It is bullshit to deflect blame from Trump.

      The entire thing was about 2.5 hours. National guard members need to be called in, fitted out, and given a coordinated mission. Every other riot in history where they used National guard the response time was days instead of hours.

      Independent review shows no undue delays

      They are calling to hang this guy because he took more than an hour to ensure that at least some plan was in place before sending the military against citizens.

      If you want to blame military leaders, how about the commander in chief that set it in action and happily watched without doing a single damn thing to try to stop it.

      So the reason given is that Gen. Milley delayed the response to Jan 6.

      And that he is a “sodomoy promoting”, “homosexual-promoting-BLM-activist”.

      The only reason somebody says something like that in the context of calling for execution is when they find these things as reasons for execution. Calling for the deaths of homosexuals is fascism, and the GOP is openly embracing it when they support people like Gosar.

      Also feel the need to mention that hes a politician, so hes probably lying or at least stretching and bending the truth.

      That’s supposed to be comforting? “Oh don’t worry about this congress man calling for the death of a military general based in part on LGBTQ hatred, he’s probably just lying about his true intentions”

      As if he doesn’t have worse intentions than what he believes to be publicly acceptable.

      Given who’s saying it, it’s almost certainly not true. Additionally, if it was, gosar and trump would not be roasting him for it.

      Also why does anyone care about Cruz when this guy is a congressman?
