The only real loser in the China Spy Balloon Incident is Milley...

Parts of Military Twitter & ESPECIALLY the Conservative Twitter spaces are eviscerating Milley. He has never been popular with the troops (from the outside looking in...but does it really matter?) and he's been suspect to both the left and right. To the left because he's military and to the right because he's implemented some policies that many disagree with.

But when it comes to the balloon case I almost feel sorry for the dude.

Biden threw his ass under the bus so quick its shocking.  The CJCS over ruled him and told him not to shoot down the balloon?  Then Biden over ruled him and ordered the balloon shot down?

China got an over flight of the USA.  Got first hand experience with the lack of decisiveness from our elected officials....basically they got a timeline of how long it would take for America to decide to sortie forces to aid Taiwan.  If it took days to shoot down a fucking balloon how long will it take to decide to lose a couple of carriers and dozens of other warships along with countless lives of American troops?

And Milley.

Milley just sealed his fate as probably the worst CJCS in the history of the US.

The dude has had a rough ride with two "unique" Presidents but the guy is still trash.
