Gen Milley to lose security detail, may face demotion (Fox News)

To pull former Chief of Staff General Milley's security detail is one awful thing.

To publicly announce it is to invite violence.

Fox News - (archived: https://archive.ph/sVJmB ) Pentagon pulling Gen. Milley's security detail and clearance 'immediately,' may face demotion in retirement

Milley has had a security detail since Iran vowed revenge for the killing of Qasem Soleimani

By Lucas Y. Tomlinson Fox News
Published January 28, 2025 4:51pm EST | Updated January 28, 2025 4:59pm EST

EXCLUSIVE: 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.

The Pentagon will also be removing a second portrait of Gen. Milley inside the Pentagon. This one is from the Army's Marshall Corridor on the third floor honoring his service as chief-of-staff of the Army. Fox is told the removal of this second portrait will take place as soon as tonight. This means there will be no more portraits of Gen. Milley inside the Pentagon.

The first portrait of Gen. Milley, from his time as the U.S. military's top officer, was removed from the Pentagon last week on Inauguration Day less than two hours after President Trump was sworn into office.

Trump can demote him, but he'll always be General Milley to anyone who matters.

4. Well, we know what TFG thinks of our brave military - "losers and suckers"

In Mary Trump's book, she said that TFG Junior considered joining the military - and his father said he'd disown him.

Same with Bolton.

They’re in the same boat as Salman Rushdie.

Traitor knows Milley has a huge target on his back. He’s literally advertising that Milley is a sitting duck to Iran
