A portrait of former top US military officer Mark Milley — a foe of Donald Trump — has been taken down at the Pentagon, a source in the building said following the president’s inauguration on Monday.
Retired chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are traditionally honored with portraits that hang in a corridor near the Pentagon’s River Entrance, and Milley’s had only recently been unveiled at a ceremony earlier this month.
But the source said the retired general’s portrait was removed, referring questions about why to the White House.
The removal of the painting — the current whereabouts of which are unclear — came after Joe Biden preemptively pardoned Milley and other Trump opponents in one of his last acts as president.
Trump has repeatedly promised “retribution” against his political opponents and threatened some with criminal prosecution, and Biden said he took action to shield Milley and others from “politically motivated prosecutions” under the new administration.
Trump was enraged after Milley told journalist Bob Woodward that the Republican was “fascist to the core” and a “dangerous person.”
Milley also revealed he had secretly called his Chinese counterpart after the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol by Trump’s supporters to reassure Beijing that the United States remained “stable” and had no intention to attack China.
Trump subsequently wrote on his Truth Social network that “in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!” for Milley.

Throw it in the trash bin. Take his security clearance away.

Someone here who is military please explain this to us!! It does not make sense.
Call him back to active duty. Make him a PRIVATE and take away his retirement. Make I’m a private and send him to the ME peeling potatoes for our REAL heroes.

But the source said the retired general’s portrait was removed, referring questions about why to the White House.

And make him police the area in between peeling potatoes and cleaning latrines.
Lol Hell yeah.
Well he had too much privilege but I don’t know if all of it was “white” if you know what I mean.
Highway would kick his azz.
Use it for target practice.
Eisenhower probably had as many medals as Miley but rarely wore them. Eisenhower and others, both commissioned officers and enlisted, were modest and only wore a minimum of medals during their daily duties.
