The Loneliest General: Silence Surrounds Gen. Mark Milley Amid Trump Retaliation

By Konstantin Toropin and Steve Beynon

President Donald Trump focused his ire and retaliation on one person in the very first minutes of his presidency, even before his inauguration concluded — retired Army Gen. Mark Milley, the highest-ranking and most visible officer in the military during the president’s first term in office.

On Jan. 20, as Trump was sworn in, Milley’s recently unveiled portrait painting from his time as Joint Chiefs chairman was quietly removed from a hallway in the Pentagon that displays portraits of all former chairmen. A week later, another portrait of Milley, a retired Green Beret with more than 40 years of service, from his time as Army chief of staff was removed.

The humiliation wasn’t over for Milley. Trump’s newly appointed defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, announced he was ending Milley’s security detail and initiating an investigation into the retired general to see whether they could strip him of rank, removing one of his stars in retirement.

But the final blow for Milley might be the silence after the open retaliation by Trump, who campaigned on punishing his political enemies.

Few have come to Milley’s defense and even the military, to which the four-star general had given decades of service, was unwilling to offer any pushback.

One recently retired general noted to Military.com that Milley is “as radioactive as it gets.”

Geroge Floyd apologist, COVID vaccine debacle, Afghanistan, recruiting and retention numbers, hollow military, DEI infestation, and China. Not a lot for his fellow perfumed princes to rally behind so they dive into silence to avoid the Milley tar baby. Too bad- I don’t think Pete is done yet.

Let this be a warning, he swore an oath and he broke it. He could have taken the high road like Mattis, but chose treason.

“Worked toward” what Democrats liked to get ahead and all he got was the lousy pardon.

While they are giving him the anal probe they might want to see if all those ribbons he wears are legit.

Subtract another star for each one not allowed.

A solid case of FAFO in action. He reaps what he sowed.

3rd crew member of the ill fated Blackhawk is Capt. Rebecca Lobach. She was recently part of the Biden Admin White House and shown is her escorting designer Ralph Lauren as received a metal from Biden.
You can’t make this up. The perfect storm of DEI/Women in combat roles/Biden Administration all rolled up into one. No wonder they released her name on Saturday night hoping the news cycle will forget by Monday. My guess it was her ‘check ride’ to return to flight status was the reason for the flight.
The FAA under Obama, it always fucking Barry, changed the screening test for ATC’s because the results were not diverse enough. The tower at DCA was under staffed at the time of the accident. Near misses at DCA days before between helos & jets. Then their is an FAA official touting full scholarships to HBCU’s for ‘diverse’ candidates. Pete Bootygig was quoted in 2023 about a record amount of near misses (oxymoron). A couple thousand qualified ATC’s suing because they were NOT hired for being ‘not diverse’. The list goes on and on…
It was just a matter of time, and who was going to be unlucky enough to pay the piper

I searched her name, and everyone is saying wonderful things about her. Yet when you read between the lines…

There is a certain insinuation that she was in a female relationship with a Lt. Samantha Brown aka “partner”. They are both quite fetching young women.

Prior Service (Ret)

At one time I had respect for him. He visited my battalion TOC at NTC and asked hard questions. My guys knocked the answers out of the park and I was quite proud of them. Then, it turned out my guys tasked at III Corps HQ , where he was the commander, had to hold the elevator at ground floor from some directed time until he entered it every morning so he wouldn’t have to wait. Yet there was also some sign on the stairs directing/encouraging all to use the stairs for that added level of fitness and cracking on those who didn’t. Just not him.

Maybe he should have been more of a “use the stairs” guy and less of a “nobody can use the elevator for this 30 minute window every morning, or until I arrive-whichever comes first” sort of guy.

As we all know it only takes one (1) “AW SH*T” to negate one hundred (100) “Attaboys”. And this treasonous POS had several “AW SH*TS”.

In some military societies he would be left alone in a room with his personal side arm and one (1) bullet…to do the honorable thing.

PHUQUE HEEM!
