Given the law question was tripping over the citizen question, and the press to answer became more theoretical, I think VegetableMan gave a solid answer, and I actually commend him for being willing to say it.
I truly believe General Miley was trying to defend the interests of our country against the whims of a man he was felt was driven more by petty jealousies than any thoughtful position on international affairs.
It isn’t treason if he had the legal authority to do so, but that step takes me out my ability to post with certainty. I believe he had the authority, but I do not know he had the authority. He has struck me as man who knows how to walk a very fine line, but that is just opinion.

Nobody in the Deep State wanted Trump because he campaigned on an anti-war platform. They didn't think he would support the MIC as vigorously as past presidents like Obama, Bush, and Clinton.
I take Milley's comments with a huge grain of salt, given he has served the war machine very well, and will probably go on to line his pockets working for a defense contractor after he retires. He needs to distance himself from Trump.
Trump is a doughebag, but I'd have to read the general's book and follow the citations to make up my mind on this.
The problem with deep state theories is that they are just too convenient. Clearly any time there are large institutions there is incredible momentum that ensures their survival, overcoming that momentum is nearly impossible, and the momentum will taint the judgement of those inside the institutions. I don’t want to discount that. But the people inside these institutions are still individuals, each with their own thoughts, priorities and ideals. The people I personally know in government are all idealists, interested in serving the best interests of their country above all else. To reach Miley’s level he will obviously have had to mixed in a whole lot of pragmatic political gamesmanship, but he is still a unique individual with his own mind.

"... I will obey the orders of the president of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice...". Note the phrase regarding regulations and the UCMJ. The only time when disobeying an order is excusable is when that order is unlawful (UCMJ Art. 91 & 92). Deploying nuclear weapons in a time of peace is unlawful. General Milley therefore acted lawfully.
I took the same oath, and I take it seriously, whether the enemy is a foreign journalist or a head of state; and I support someone who averts an unnecessary "First Strike" with nuclear weapons by an obviously irrational and unstable leader who believes everyone else is out to get him.
As a side note, the military oath never expires, even after a military member separates from the military.

So...there are good people within a corrupt, rigged system that are "unique " and pragmatic. I'm sure that will serve us well as the country circles the drain.
It's interesting that anybody who takes on Trump is immediately given saint status and given a pass for all their crimes.

Trump just wanted to watch the world burn.
Based on what I have seen reported, I think Milley went "a bridge too far", but it isn't a black&white situation.
I am waiting for more information to come in before making a firm opinion.
An open mind is a happy mind.
BTW, I did say that the "insurrection" protest was never going to succeed in over-throwing the government because the orange man didn't have the backing of the military powers.
Totally agreed.
A rather large "cannon".
He would never have been able to create an "insurrection", even if he wanted one, because he didn't have the backing of the military.
It was more than a protest----that's for sure.
The "protestors" did at least a few millions dollars of damage to the Capitol.
They went in with rope which is used, usually, to climb mountains. Do you find rope like this during a protest march? They also bought all sorts of weapons.
And the timing corresponded with the day where the final results of elections are announced and confirmed. They did not want Biden to be announced as the winner of the election.

Anyone know how this turned out?

I have consistently called it a "Violent protest/riot".
Surely you must have seen one of my posts?
Who are "they"?
Are you saying that all protestors had the intention of violence?
Are you suggesting most?
I think it is more accurate to say there were a number of extremists, as was the case of the BLM violent protests which caused b,b,b,billions of dollars damage.
Also, there was at least one antifa infiltrator/agitator in the group of republicans.
Would you like me to dig up his picture again?
It is hilarious.
In his mugshot, he looks like a stunned mullet.

Trump was an experiment that went wrong, and in hindsight, did American social harmony a big disservice.
But he was totally anti-war and wanted to focus on making America great again through economic recovery, rather than military might.
The idea that trump wanted a kinetic war with China is simply absurd, imo.
What is most problematic----is that they bought rope. Rope is used to hang people.
Who brings rope to a "regular" protest?
I feel like most of the people in the Capitol got sort of "caught up in the moment." Some of them were taking selfies. Some of the Capitol Police were taking selfies with them.
But there were enough people with more than usual evil intent in the Capitol for it to be a VERY dangerous situation.
It's interesting that anybody who takes on Trump is immediately given saint status and given a pass for all their crimes.
Hyperpartisanship is a biatch.
