In a significant shift within the Pentagon, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley has been stripped of his security detail and clearance, prompting allegations of political retribution from the Trump administration. Newly appointed Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth announced the immediate revocation of Milley’s security protections, which critics argue undermines the integrity of military leadership. The decision coincides with intensified scrutiny and potential investigations targeting Milley, who has been openly critical of Trump. This move is seen as part of a broader tactic to intimidate military officials who oppose the former president. Following these developments, the portrait of General Milley has also reportedly been removed from the Pentagon, further symbolizing the ongoing rift in military and political relations. The White House has commented on these actions, indicating a possible motive rooted in political vendetta.
