Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is expected to announce he will cancel former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley’s security detail and clearance — and direct the Pentagon’s acting investigator general to launch an investigation into whether the retired soldier should be demoted in rank, Fox News reported Tuesday. Despite retiring from the Army in September 2023, the Secret Service has continued to protect Milley due to Iranian threats of retaliation on him for his role in the drone strike ordered by Trump in 2020 that killed Tehran’s Gen. Qasem Soleimani. Trump last week removed the protective security details from his former national security advisor John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who both had protection for the same reason as Milley. Hegseth will also direct the Defense Department’s Inspector General to conduct a review board to investigate whether Milley should be stripped of a star in his retirement based on his actions to “undermine the chain of command” during Trump’s first term, officials told Fox News.

From Breitbart:
According to the book The Divider by Susan Glasser and Peter Baker, Milley wanted to resign in June 2020 amid the Black Lives Matter protests and even drafted a letter to that effect but decided to stay and “fight” him from the “inside.”

Milley allegedly told his staff, “F-ck that shit. … I’ll just fight him,” and, “If they want to court-martial me, or put me in prison, have at it. … But I will fight from the inside.”

In addition, Milley allegedly told then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) he would not go along with efforts by Trump to “deploy the machinery of war for domestic political ends.”

He also allegedly convened the heads of the military branches, referred to as the Joint Chiefs, to “bolster their resolve to resist any dangerous political schemes from the White House.”

He also allegedly regularly contacted former Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice and referred to Trump as the “enemy” to the then-incoming Biden administration’s lead Pentagon transition official and later Army Secretary Christine Wormuth.

And according to the book War, by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, Milley called Trump “fascist to the core” and was worried about Trump’s mental stability and control of nuclear weapons.

Peril, an earlier Woodward book, said Milley had directed senior military officers not to follow Trump’s orders, unless he approved them first — despite not being in the chain of command.

What is described above is sedition, if not open treason. That bastard Milley should be prosecuted for those and punished to the fullest extent possible under the law.

“stripped of a star” ??? How about recall to active duty and demotion to 2ndLt? Let him refuse. Then give him a BCD and kick him out. This scumbag committed treason!!! For goodness sake he is not being sent to Leavenworth only because Crime Boss Joey gave him a pardon; Pete please come down hard on this man.

General James Matoon Milley...

He should be called in front of Congress and asked specific questions concerning the quotes in the books attributed to him. He either says he did or he calls Woodward a liar. Or he refuses to answer, which is an answer onto itself.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Looks like Gen. Milley was a lose cannon. A total Trump Hater working on the inside to undermine the President at every turn. He was more loyal to the BLM gang and the Nancy Pelosi Democrats than the USA. Break him to the ranks!

[7thson]

Also, they need to go after the other officers of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that went along with him and those senior officers he instructed not to obey orders from the President. Those officers should have turned him in as he was issuing unlawful orders. The Pentagon needs to be gutted!

“If they want to court-martial me, or put me in prison, have at it. …

Well, he knew the risks.

Seems like these tabbed-up supersoldiers sometimes forget that they're part of the team, and not entities in and of themselves.

[Georgia Girl 2]

He should face a firing squad but that won’t happen.

[captmar-vell]

There has to be real consequences for being a reprobate vile traitor to your own nation.
