"I am not a perfect person, but redemption is real," he said.

Mark Milley, as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, allowed himself to be used by Trumpov for crass political purposes, only to seek public redemption after the fact to preserve his own self-respect.

Now, the Buckeyes, who field one of the top performing defenses in the nation, have a chance at redemption in the Rose Bowl, with a spot in the College Football Playoff semifinals at stake.
