Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has informed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff retired Army Gen. Mark Milley that he is revoking his personal security detail and suspending his security clearance, according to senior defense officials.
Hegseth is also directing the acting Department of Defense Inspector General to conduct a review board to determine whether he should keep his rank as a retired-four star general, due to his actions undermining the chain of command at the end of President Donald Trump’s first term.
“The Secretary informed General Milley today that he is revoking the authorization for his security detail and suspending his security clearance as well. The Secretary has also directed the DoD IG to conduct an inquiry into the facts and circumstances surrounding Gen Milley’s conduct so that the Secretary may determine whether it is appropriate to reopen his military grade review determination,” Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot told Breitbart News in a statement.
Milley was assigned personal security details after the U.S. military conducted a fatal strike killing Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force leader Qasem Soleimani in 2020, and Iran vowed retaliation.
According to several book accounts, Milley had taken a number of actions to subvert Trump at the end of his first administration and undermine the chain of command — which as the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, he was not technically a part of.

Dang, that's hard core.
But not as hardcore as the rats’ two attempts on President Trump’s life.
Gee Milley, anything you’d like to take back?
Old Milley Vanilley. Major Ahole.
This is great! Hegseth may not be a general, but he has the cojones to taken on the bad ones.
$13+ grand/ month, being all bad ass general, he can buy a gun.
The days of the military tail wagging the civilian dog may be coming to an end under Secretary Hegseth and President Trump
I wanted this day to come, but I never thought it would.
Thank you, God.
Infantry officers with combat experience in special operations don’t much like perfumed princes like Milley.
Oh now we’re going to hear ALL ABOUT political persecution!
“The Secretary has also directed the DoD IG to conduct an inquiry into the facts and circumstances surrounding Gen Milley’s conduct so that the Secretary may determine whether it is appropriate to reopen his military grade review determination,” Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot told Breitbart News in a statement.”
If some 2nd Lt had called the Chinese and said he’d warn them of any military action against them he’d spend the rest of his life in Leavenworth, and rightly so.
Milley should get the exact same treatment. Recall him to active duty and refer him to a Court Martial. When convicted strip him of all rank and toss his ass into prison.

Suspending clearance means he won’t be working at Raytheon …
did this come up during his confirmation hearing?
i thought they would have tried to box him in on this
i guess no one cares about thoroughly modern milley
Excellent!! He can work at an LGBTQ+ clothing store.
He’ll no doubt feet better about himself there.
Did Milley have any friends in the senate that he can rat out?
well, treason has a price
