This article tempers some of the more drastic accusations against Milley. Nothing in here seems that egregious. I could even see him talking to his generals about the nuke issues because he thought Pelosi might also be overreacting. Maybe I'm giving him too much credit. Either way, he is testifying before congress soon. I'll wait to see what he has to say before getting any more worked up about this.

Not really.  In his position General Milley is an advisor to The President and nothing more.  He has no say and is not part of the process for any kind of strike.

If the reports and allegations are true he did two things very wrong.

1.  Allegedly he called his counterpart in China without notifying his boss (The President) and told him that there was not strike planned against their country and should a strike be planned he would call and give them warning.  That is treason plain and simple.

2.  Allegedly he called an unscheduled meeting with those that would actually be involved in the process of some kind of strike and basically told them not to follow orders from the commander-in-chief without going through him first.  This undermines the chain-of-command and is way out of the scope of his authority.

If those allegations are true he not only broke the law he violated the UCMJ and should either resign or face a court martial.
