LOS ANGELES.–Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, under 78-year-old President Donald Trump and 82-year-old President Joe Biden, Gen. Mark Milley. 66, had his picture removed from the Pentagon on order of 44-year-old Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Milley played dirty while under Trump leadership, undermining his orders and slamming him on the fake news. At the end of Trump’s first term, Milley had become a hero in the Democrat Party hoping to unseat Trump in the 2020 election. Milley said Trump “was a fascist to the core” in Bob Woodward’s 2024 book “War,” all suggesting that Trump tried to undermine Biden’s foreign policy, but, more importantly, pushed the world to WW III or nuclear war. Imagine that, Trump ran on a platform in 2024 to end the Ukraine War while Biden, and hacks like Woodward, backed the Ukraine War even if it meant WW III.
Milley secretly slammed Trump much the same as Dr. Anthony Fauci, who headed the government’s Covid-19 task force. All through the 2020 election campaign, Woodward and Fauci stood arm-in-arm saying that Trump botched the Covid-19 response, costing unnecessary American lives. Trump actually did everything possible to implements all of Fauci’s recommendations, despite the fact that masks and social distancing proved ineffective in slowing the spread of the disease. After Trump said April 30, 2020 that the deadly novel coronavirus came from a Wuhan lab, Fauci vehemently denied it. At every turn, Fauci refuted Trump’s statement just like Milley when it came to the Pentagon. When Trump told Milley to tone down his rhetoric toward Russia and China, Milley did the exact opposite, promoting the view that both China and Russia were dangerous U.S. adversaries. Trump wanted to establish both countries as global cooperating partners.
So, when it came to the 2020 election, Trump was well-aware that Miley joined Democrat hack Bob Woodward in making the case against him, working to see President Joe Biden elected. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth orders the Pentagon’s inspector general to determine whether Milley violated the civilian chain of command while serving under Trump as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth said he wants to know “the facts and circumstances regarding Milley’s conduct “so the Secretary can determine whether it is appropriate to reopen his military grade review determination,” Pentagon Spokesman John Ullyot said. “Undermining the chain of command is corrosive to our national security, and restoring accountability is a priority for the Defense Department under President Trump’s leadership,” said Pentagon Chief of Staff Joe Casper.
Trump was sabotaged from within during his 2020 run for president. Fauci and Woodward worked feverishly to undermine his credibility on managing the Covid-19 pandemic. When it came to the Pentagon and national defense, Milley was busy discrediting Trump, actually calling Trump a fascist in Woodward’s 2024 book, “War.” Once Hegseth gets his inspector general review, he’ll no doubt take action on Milley, now retired enjoying his Pentagon pension. Milley could face demotion and pay grade consequences for insubordinate behavior while serving as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Milley once appeared with Trump at a Church outside the White House where he ordered protesters removed from the grounds for illegal demonstrations. Milley apologized for appearing with Trump, denouncing Trump while serving as Joint Chiefs Chairman.
Biden issued Milley a preemptive pardon fearing the loyal general would get prosecuted by Trump for insubordination. Now that Hegseth ordered his government security detail removed, Milley fears what comes next. Milley fears that Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi will charge him with dereliction of duty when it came to defending Trump in 2020. Milley denies playing any role in the Aug. 21, 2021 Abbey Gate withdrawal from Afghanistan where a terrorist attacked killed 13 American soldiers. Biden and Milley never answered for the disastrous Afghan withdrawal something backed by the Afghan government. Milley wanted Biden to keep as continent of U.S . troops in Afghanistan after the withdrawal but decided to cut-and-run Aug. 21, 2021leaving U.S. troops vulnerable. Before his retirement Sept. 29, 2023, Milley worked feverishly to stop Trump’s 2024 campaign.
Milley fially gets his comeuppance after stabbing Trump in back while he served under him in his first term. Joining the Democrat resistance was inexcusable for the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of State. No one told Milley while he served under Tump to sign up as Democrat political hack in the 2020 election. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did the right thing holding Milley accountable for his egregious insubordination during his work under Trump. Both Miley and Fauci received preemptive pardons because Biden’s team knows he worked as a confederate under Trump’s first term. Taking down Milley’s portrait from the Pentagon is only the first step while the inspector general builds his case against Milley. No one should feel sorry for Milley when he chose on his own to join Democrat forces and undermine Trump’s reelection in 2020 and 2024. Now Milley must pay the price of disloyalty.
