Washington (CNN)Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley did not give the White House a heads up before he released a recorded video on Thursday admitting it was a "mistake" to appear in a photo-op last week with President Donald Trump, three administration officials told CNN.

Milley's apology -- in which he declared unequivocally "I should not have been there" -- was a remarkable admission for the four-star general, let alone from a top official in an administration led by a President known for his refusal to apologize.

Before coming to his decision, Milley reached out to former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford, Jr. and other senior military officers, according to two US defense officials. Milley also reached out to another former chairman of the Joint Chiefs, another source familiar with the matter said.

Oh, what was that guy's name?  Hmm.  That's it, Captain Crozier.  He got relieved of his command when the guys at the top thought he didn't go through the chain of command before going public which Milley clearly has not done.  As I remember it, Milley was for punishing Captain Crozier.  What now military cow?

Once again,the federal government MUST establish a law that makes it illegal for any retired military officer to go to work for any defense-related industry after retirement.
