I have not watched the career of Gen. Mark Milley, but with the ongoing presidential election becoming more intense, I am aware of the fact that the good general has become the target of the MAGA right, from Trump himself down to all the enablers of Trumpism. A perusal of his career from youth to the present describes a military man of unusual background and sensitivity to the relationships between the military and the civilian government. The more he is attacked and made a symbol of what is wrong with our country the more I am convinced he is close to being a hero.
