A new book describes complaints by then-President Donald Trump about American military leaders, and his aversion to having injured soldiers in a parade.
Glasser and Baker described how Trump soured on Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, after Milley, then-Attorney General William Barr, and Defense Secretary Mark Esper resisted his demands to have the military respond to protests outside the White House in response to the murder by police officers of George Floyd."Turning to Milley, Trump said, 'Can't you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?'" Glasser and Baker reported.
Trump's statement went on to list a series of accomplishments he took responsibility for, including keeping the U.S."out of wars." "It is my belief that you were doing great and irreparable harm to my country," Milley wrote Trump afterward in a resignation letter he never actually sent, The New Yorker reported.
