General Mark Milley: “You’re Fired!”

By Hank Vanderbeek

During President Trump’s first day on the new job, he fired Mark Milley from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, among others, for “not being aligned with our vision to Make America Great Again.” Milley’s nonalignment was egregious and a threat to national security.


General Mark Milley may have done a grave disservice to his country with his disloyalty and probably should have been court martialed for treason, not pardoned by Biden. Treason, the highest of all crimes, is intentionally betraying one's allegiance by levying war against the government or giving aid and comfort to its enemies.

Mark Alexander Milley (67) is a retired Army general who served as the 20th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCOS) from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2023. He had previously served as the 39th chief of staff of the Army from August 14, 2015 to August 9, 2019 and held multiple command and staff positions. He was an ROTC Armor officer who graduated from Princeton University with a BA in politics and received a master’s degree in international Affairs from Columbia University.


On December 8, 2018, after an interview with Milley, Trump announced that he would nominate Milley to serve as chairman of JCOS, against the wishes of Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis and then-chairman of the JSOC General Joseph Dunford. He was confirmed by the Senate 89–1 on July 25, 2019, and sworn in on September 30, 2019. In his capacity as chairman of JCOS under Trump, Milley may have given aid and comfort to China, in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

I haven't heard one thing from him.  So, I guess he's keeping his mouth shut, unlike most leftists, or the media is covering for him. what444

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has REVOKED General Mark Milley's security detail and security clearance.
Hegseth is now planning on DEMOTING the General.

Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?

Hegseth has also ordered the Pentagon’s inspector general to investigate Milley’s actions to determine if a demotion is warranted. … In other words, he may ultimately be stripped of his fourth star.

Former President Joe Biden issued retired Gen. Mark Milley a preemptive pardon for a reason. At the very least, his actions during his tenure as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff warranted a thorough investigation – an avenue Biden hoped his sweeping pardon would effectively close. As it turns out, there is more than one way to skin a cat.

On Tuesday night, the Pentagon announced that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revoked Milley’s security clearance and personal security detail. Additionally, he has ordered the Pentagon’s inspector general to investigate Milley’s actions to determine if a demotion is in order.

According to Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot, the inspector general review will consist of “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.” In other words, Milley may ultimately be stripped of his fourth star.

“The Secretary informed General Milley today that he is revoking the authorization for his security detail and suspending his security clearance as well,” Ullyot said.

You may recall that shortly after President Trump took his oath of office last week, a portrait of Milley that had been unveiled only ten days earlier inside the Pentagon, was removed. Sources told Fox News on Tuesday that a second portrait of Milley, one that hangs in “the Army’s Marshall Corridor on the third floor honoring his service as chief-of-staff of the Army,” would also be removed perhaps “as soon as tonight.”

So why do Trump administration officials so revile the retired general? Sources told Fox that it stemmed from his alleged actions to “undermine the chain of command” during Trump’s first term.

MacArthur eventually got relieved of command by Truman so maybe Milley was trying to recreate the disgrace of rogue Military leaders. :whistle:
