THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN AMERICA: Gen. Mark Milley is ambitious, incompetent, progressive, and wildly self-assured.

Characteristically, he failed. But now, in light of these latest revelations, Milley has become a darling of the neocon and NeverTrumper media. Those who despise the previous president have come to consider Milley something of a hero, the sole “adult in the room” who managed to counteract the commander-in-chief who had appointed him. To those interested in extending the United States’ overseas commitments, Milley can be counted on to ensure that endless war stays that way.

These are two very powerful constituencies, and the long-converging combination of neoconservative money with popular anti-Trump sentiment on the center-left and center-right could prove formidable in the future. This could be worth keeping in mind, given that the general’s activity—courting powerful factions of the race-obsessed left, appending himself to key politicians of both parties, chasing media attention left and right—suggests he does not intend to pursue the quiet life of military-industrial complex sinecures automatically reserved for retiring four-stars.

At 63, Milley’s days in uniform are numbered—but 2024 is just around the corner.

His media rehabilitation tour will be a sight to behold if he (and the DNC-MSM) attempt to spin the past two months as anything but an utter debacle.
