The Minister of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the “behavior” of Mark Milley, the chairman of the Pentagon's supervisor to investigate the retired United chief chairman Mark Milley. President conflict-and determine whether it should be reduced from his level. Current four stars.
Hergus also canceled Milly's security details and suspended his security permit.
Even if Milley retired, after the American drone strike in 2020, his security details were continued due to the threat of Iran's threats and killed the Iranian General Highmor Soleimani. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and national security adviser John Bolton recently lost security details on Trump's orders, and Trump also conflicted with them.
Joe Kasper, chief of staff of Hegseth, explained in a statement on Monday: “Destroy the command chain to our national security corrosion, and restore the accountability system is under the leadership of President Trump. “Priority of the Ministry of National Defense” “” “”
There is no sign of how long the investigation takes.
Jack Reed, Senator of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, Rhodao State Senator Rod Island State Senator, Jack Reed quickly criticized his safety details.
Reed said in a statement: “General Milly and other Trump government officials continued to face Iran's credible threat because they executed President Trump's order to kill Iranian general Solmani.” “Special The security details of President Trump and Secretary Hegles revoked General Milly because their own political satisfaction was unreasonable, and Lu CK was sparse. In severe danger, they are obliged to immediately restore his federal protection. “
It is unclear what behavior constitutes the way to destroy the command chain. Milley disagreed on many issues that Trump and his assistant, from the order of using active soldiers to restore the order of American cities to the president, and asked if the army could shoot without armed protests, Milley and other officials said, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, said, this Illegal order.
Sometimes Mily and others persuaded Trump to change the policy plan. Trump wanted to evacuate all US military from Syria in 2018, although Mily persuaded him to cooperate with hundreds of troops to cooperate with Kurdish forces and respond to the continuous threat of Islamic State.
Milley, 66, cannot comment.
When he was elected in 2016, Trump chose the then senior military officer Milley as the chief military adviser to David Goldfein, the Air Force General, and the latter subsequently. James Mattis in favor of. Trump seems to admire Milly's enthusiastic behavior and blunt way. But with the passage of time, this relationship has deteriorated, just like Trump and the other two retired generals-Mattis and former White House chief of staff John Kelly.
George Floyd protested in June 2020. Milley and Trump walked through the White House through the White House, Lafayette Square, at the National Guards With the assistance, law enforcement officers forcibly dismissed demonstrators. At that time, Milley was wearing disguise fatigue. When Trump passed the square to the Church of St. John and carried the Bible, Mily peels and chats with the National Guard. It does not seem to want to appear in obvious political events. Milly later apologized at the National Defense University, and officials said that Trump was furious.

In the video speech, Mili said: “As many of you see, the result of my photos in Lafayette Square last week triggered a national debate on the role of the army in civic society. “” I shouldn't be there. Wrong, I sincerely hope that all of us can learn from our people's people.
During this period, Mili also assured Chinese officials that Trump did not want to attack Beijing in the last few weeks of his office. Milley said that he called for coordination with the then Minister of Defense Mark Esper and other government officials, but Trump later said that this appeal “such a serious behavior can be in the past. In the times, punishment will be death. “” “” “Officials told NPR that the phone had been investigated without any news.
When Milley retired in September 2023, he reminded those who wore uniforms that they swore the constitution to oppose all enemies foreign and domestic enemies, emphasizing “all” and “harmony”.
Milly made it clear that Trump said: “We will not swore to the king, the queen or tyrant or dictator, and go oath without sworn.” “We swore without swearing. We swore the constitution. The idea is the United States, we are willing to die to protect it. “
Before retiring, Mily and Washington Post The reporter Bob Woodward's book is Trump's book.
The general told Woodword: “No one has never been as dangerous as Donald Trump.” “Now I realize that he is a complete fascist. He is the most dangerous person in this country.”
Some civil and military experts say that this comment may cause Milly to be in trouble. According to military law, it is illegal that any entrusted official to the “contempt” of the president or other senior officials.
Former President Biden provided Milley and others with forgiven the pardon, which was suitable for federal and military law. But Hergus seemed to be pursuing Milly through administrative efforts.
Civil and military experts said that it was unusual to investigate a former senior official and accuse the “damage command chain”, and may even be unprecedented.
Peter Feaver said: “President is actually unusual to punish his appointment in a public way. Duke University's political science.
Roger Petersen Death, rule and national constructionThe Pentagon said that such a move in the Pentagon may be the strategic efforts of the Trump administration in silence or the opposite proposal in the senior official team.
Few senior retirees have been recalled for active crime investigations. As early as 2017, the Air Force General Arthur Lichte dropped from four stars to two stars and confiscated $ 5,000 a month. Previously, investigators found that he was engaged in inappropriate sex when he was uniform. Behavior.
Even before the Hegseth's order, the Pentagon felt the efforts to maintain a distance between the Ministry of Defense and Milley's inheritance. Within a few hours of his employment last week, the portrait of General Milly installed recently was deleted from a corridor wall of the building.
