THE US MILITARY’S JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF, THE UNIFORMED LEADERS OF THE MILITARY BRANCHES, HAVE PUT OUT A RARE MESSAGE TO SERVICE MEMBERS SAYING THE VIOLENT RIOTS LAST WEEK WERE AN ASSAULT ON AMERICA’S CONSTITUTIONAL PROCESS AND AGAINST THE LAW.
THE JOINT MESSAGE BROKE NEARLY A WEEK OF SILENCE BY THE MILITARY LEADERS AFTER THE ASSAULT ON THE CAPITOL BY SUPPORTERS OF PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SENT LEGISLATORS INTO HIDING AND LEFT FIVE PEOPLE DEAD.
WHILE A NUMBER OF TRUMP’S CABINET MEMBERS INCLUDING ACTING DEFENSE SECRETARY CHRIS MILLER CONDEMNED THE STORMING, THE TOP US GENERAL, CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF GENERAL MARK MILLEY, WAS SILENT UNTIL NOW.
