Mutiny? A prescription for accountability from General Milley

As all readers know by now, during his last hours in office, Joe Biden gave former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, a “full and unconditional pardon” for any offenses “which he may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014, through the date of this pardon, arising from or in any manner related to his service as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army or Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.” Milley, like many others whom Biden favored with these blanket pardons, had not been convicted or even charged with a crime.

Even though the pardon insulates Milley from being charged with any federal crimes, there is still a way to obtain some accountability from him. As a retired officer, he is subject to recall to active duty at any time. That provides a mechanism for much-needed accountability.
