Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has reportedly pulled retired General Mark Milley's security detail and ordered the Department of Defense IG to convene a board to determine if grounds exist to reduce Milley in rank for actions that "undermine the chain of command" during President Donald Trump's first term.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will announce he is "immediately pulling" retired Gen. Mark Milley's personal security detail and security clearance, multiple senior administration officials tell Fox News.

The secretary is also directing the new acting Inspector General to conduct a review board to determine if enough evidence exists for Gen. Milley to be stripped of a star in retirement based on his actions to "undermine the chain of command" during President Donald Trump's first term, officials say.

I wonder if he is going on the camera for the press to flap his gums again now? Maybe he is not feeling so talkative now?

He is a ribbon collector. I saw ones like him when I was in the military.

I wonder which one of those many ribbons is from China for "DISHONORABLE ACTIONS IN SUPPORT OF THE ENEMY"?

No doubt.

Treason/espionage (revealing military actions to the enemy or otherwise assuring enemy of cooperation, in Milley’s case) would warrant a bust all the way to E-nuthin.

Sir, that sounds quite appropriate and accurate to me.

I also do not believe that Milley could receive a preemptive pardon for a Courts Martial offense.

I have a feeling that Sec. Def. Hegseth may be researching this now.
