U.S. Chairman Of The Joint Chiefs Of Staff Mark Milley Warns That 'Divisiveness Leads To Defeat'

CNN: Top general warns that 'divisiveness leads to defeat' as Pentagon concerns over politicization grow

(CNN)America's most senior general warned that "divisiveness leads to defeat" in a speech to Naval War College graduates on Wednesday.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley counseled the audience to "eliminate anything that divides us."

While he also spoke of the traditional need to keep an eye on adversaries "during periods when we are weary from conflict or otherwise preoccupied," and did not mention President Donald Trump by name, his comments appeared to address the broader backdrop of racial divisiveness in the country and concerns within the Pentagon about the military becoming politicized.

Milley told the students, "We who wear the cloth of our nation must hold dear the principle of an apolitical military that is so deeply rooted in the very essence of our Republic."

WNU Editor: And who is causing this "divisiveness"? And what is even more disturbing is the following remark .... "eliminate anything that divides us." The General does not say, but one can speculate on who he is sending that message to. For a General who leaks to the media that he is concerned about the politicization of the military, he is getting more and more political everyday.
