(TheConservativeTimes.org) – Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed that the first step he is taking toward restoring military integrity is revoking retired General Mark Milley’s security detail and clearance.
Milley is the former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman who served under President Donald Trump’s first term and Joe Biden.
This decisive action against the retired general signals a new era of accountability. But the drama continues as Milley may face even more severe consequences.
Reports reveal that Hegseth is “immediately pulling” Milley’s security detail and clearance, sending a clear message that loyalty to the country and respect for the chain of command are non-negotiable.
This action comes in response to Milley’s attempts to undermine President Trump’s authority during his first term.
But the hammer of justice may fall even harder on Milley. Hegseth has directed the Defense Department’s Inspector General to investigate whether Milley should be stripped of a star in retirement.
This potential demotion would be a punishment for a general who called Trump a “fascist to the core” and “the most dangerous person to this country.”
The Pentagon is taking swift action to erase Milley’s legacy by removing his portraits from the building, including the prestigious Army’s Marshall Corridor.
Critics argue that Milley still faces threats, particularly from Iran, following the 2020 drone strike on General Qasem Soleimani.
However, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pointed out that “there’s nothing stopping these individuals that you mentioned from obtaining private security.”
This stance reinforces the administration’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are not wasted on former officials.
Milley’s actions during the Trump administration, including his controversial calls to Chinese officials following the 2020 election, have been widely criticized.
President Trump himself suggested that such actions could amount to “treason.”
While Joe Biden may have pardoned Milley before leaving office, the new administration is making it clear that such behavior will not be tolerated or rewarded.
This decisive action against Milley sends a powerful message to all military leaders: loyalty to the Constitution and the chain of command is crucial.
The days of politically motivated generals undermining the Commander-in-Chief are coming to an end, and a new era of American strength and unity is dawning.
