Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said the terror threat America faces hasn’t diminished since 9/11 Saturday at the annual conference of the National Guard Association.
“Those people, those enemies, those members of that terrorist group, still intend — as they did on 9/11 — to destroy your freedoms, to kill you, kill your families, they still intend to destroy the United States of America,” Milley said, Air Force Times reports.
