so if woodward got this all right, it looks like general milley took control of the armed forces from our president. i'm not trying to be flip here, and i'm not judging the decision. just in terms of verbiage... how is this not a coup?https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/14/politics/woodward-book-trump-nuclear/index.html …

It says Milley reiterated to follow the process so fair. But Trump creating a war seems insane when you read that Milley was alarmed by his desire to *withdraw* from AFG, not to mention his well publicized refusal to kill Iranians after the drone shoot down (against Army wishes)
legit just seems milley thought trumps tweets seemed crazy, which... who didn't? doesn't seem like enough to justify a coup. or maybe it is? guess we're in uncharted territory here.

I don't see how this is a coup. A coup would be defying orders. The article continually states Milley reiterating that – despite appearances – he did not believe the orders would come and that his command needed to stay involved to ensure against other rogue domestic actors.
