GOP Rep (Van Orden) Calls For Court-Martialing Gen. Mark Milley, Former Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin

GOP Rep Calls For Court-Martialing Gen. Mark Milley, Former Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin (HuffPost)

WASHINGTON ― Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) said in a recent interview that retired U.S. Army General Mark Milley and former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin should be court-martialed ― a military legal proceeding typically reserved for serious crimes ― because they made the Department of Defense too “politicized” to win wars.

“We have the most highly educated and powerful military in the history of the world, and we have not won a war in 80 years,” Van Orden lamented during a little-noticed Jan. 15 interview on the Vicki McKenna Show, a right-wing radio show.

And is wanting to kiss up to Trump, hoping for protection from being primaried and/or confronted in an election.
