Milley says the military doesn’t swear oath to a ‘wannabe dictator’ in apparent swipe at Trump
cnn.com
In an impassioned and at times furious speech, departing Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley defiantly proclaimed that the US military does not swear an oath to a “wannabe dictator.”
It was a bitter and pointed swipe that appeared unmistakably targeted at former President Donald Trump, who has in recent days accused Milley of “treason” and suggested that he should be put to death for his conduct surrounding Trump’s bid in 2021 to remain in office despite losing the presidential election.
“We are unique among the world’s militaries,” Milley said. “We don’t take an oath to a country, we don’t take an oath to a tribe, we don’t take an oath to a religion. We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or a tyrant or a dictator.”

Why is this being downvoted? Not everyone is an army nerd and knows all this shit.
Understanding the relationship of the US military to the US government is essential civics knowledge. Like understanding the 3 branches of government
Lol, no it isn't. It's some extremely niche shit that 90% of people know very little about.
Because the answer is in the article.
Okay, but the video cuts off just before the answer and the page is formatted to draw attention away from the article.
