We don't know at this point if (1) the story is true, (2) there's
sufficient evidence to convict, or (3) the administration is willing to
take action. Even if the answers are yes, yes, and no, the likely takeaway
is that people agreed with Milley's assessment. The military is big on
following orders, but everyone given an order has the potential to disobey
an order that they think is wrong or illegal.
