Joint Chiefs Chairman Dodges ‘White Rage’ Question: ‘Complicated Topic’

Throughout a press briefing Wednesday, Basic Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Employees, dodged a query about his earlier feedback about “white rage”, saying it’s a “very sophisticated subject.”

“I’m not going to handle particularly white rage or black rage or Asian rage or Irish rage or English rage or German rage or another rage. The occasions of the sixth of January occurred, these are all going to get sorted out. Historians will kind it out, commissions will kind it out,” he mentioned.

“However I do suppose it’s necessary that we as knowledgeable navy not solely perceive international nations and international cultures and societies…we additionally want to know our personal society and perceive the troopers, airmen, marines, and the societies they’re coming from. I feel that’s necessary for management to review,” Milley added.

And our oath is to the Structure, to not any particular person in any respect. And the navy didn’t and won’t and mustn’t ever get entangled in home politics. We don’t arbitrate elections. That’s the job of the judiciary and the legislature and the American folks.”
