EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will announce he is "immediately 
pulling" retired Gen. Mark Milley's personal security detail and security 
clearance, multiple senior administration officials tell Fox News. 

The secretary is also directing the new acting Inspector General to 
conduct a review board to determine if enough evidence exists for Gen. 
Milley to be stripped of a star in retirement based on his actions to 
"undermine the chain of command" during President Donald Trump's first 
term, officials say. 

The Pentagon will also be removing a second portrait of Gen. Milley inside 
the Pentagon. This one is from the Army's Marshall Corridor on the third 
floor honoring his service as chief-of-staff of the Army. Fox is told the 
removal of this second portrait will take place as soon as tonight. This 
means there will be no more portraits of Gen. Milley inside the Pentagon. 

The first portrait of Gen. Milley, from his time as the U.S. military's 
top officer, was removed from the Pentagon last week on Inauguration Day 
less than two hours after President Trump was sworn into office. 

TRUMP REVOKES SECURITY CLEARANCES OF 51 INTEL OFFICIALS WHO SIGNED 
DISCREDITED HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP LETTER

The now retired Gen. Milley and other former senior Trump aides had been 
assigned personal security details ever since Iran vowed revenge for the 
killing of Qasem Soleimani in a drone strike in 2020 ordered by Trump in 
his first term.

On "Fox News Sunday," the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, 
Tom Cotton said he hoped President Trump would "revisit" the decision to 
pull the protective security details from John Bolton, Mike Pompeo and 
Brian Hook who previously served under Trump.

Asked why these actions were being taken, a senior administration official 
who requested anonymity replied, "There is a new era of accountability in 
the Defense Department under President Trump's leadership—and that's 
exactly what the American people expect."

Gen. Milley served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2019 to 
2023 under both Presidents Trump and Biden.

He served as the Army's chief of staff, the service's top officer, from 
2015-2019. 

In his new book "War," Bob Woodward writes Gen. Milley told him at a 
reception at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. on March 6, 2023, that 
he believed Trump was "fascist to the core!"

Gen. Milley was still serving in uniform as chairman of the Joint Chiefs 
of Staff when he reportedly made the remark.

Woodward wrote that Gen. Milley, "shared with me his worries about Trump's 
mental stability and control of nuclear weapons," in a previous book.

When the leader of ISIS was killed in a daring raid carried out by U.S. 
Special Operations Forces in Syria in October 2019, President Trump 
praised Milley. 

"I want to thank General Mark Milley and our Joint Chiefs of Staff, and I 
also want to thank our professionals who work in other agencies of the 
United States government and were critical to the mission’s unbelievable 
success."

Before leaving office, President Joe Biden pardoned Gen. Milley. 

In their book, "Peril," Bob Woodward and Robert Costa wrote that Gen. 
Milley called his Chinese counterpart on two occasions in the final months 
of Trump's first term, warning him the U.S. military had no plans to 
strike China in a bid to avert tensions between nuclear-armed countries.

Gen. Milley promising to tell the China’s leadership that he would give 
them a heads up about any plans Mr. Trump had to attack them has its 
consequences. Removing Milley’s security clearance and security detail is 
proper for an insubordinate. They should also remove his pension and any 
other benefits he’s accrued.

Plus he stepped way outside the chain of command by contacting a foreign 
power to purposely undermine the civilian leadership of the U.S. military. 
He may have gotten a pardon from Biden, but he will still pay a price.

Not much of a pay loss, since 2, 3 and 4 star general make the same 
amount. They need to take him to private E 1.

A typical demotion is to the last grade at which the member successfully 
served, in this case Lieutenant General.  The pay is not important, it is 
the loss of prestige that will go with the action that is the real 
punishment.  Trust me, if they pull a star, it will send a very loud 
message!

If I spent four years bad-mouthing my boss and questioning his ability to 
lead, I would probably expect to be fired and outcast too. The fact that 
he felt comfortable doing it suggests he has not been held accountable for 
much in his career.

Sad thing is on the Army web site there is a picture of him doing an 
enlistment. He seems to forget his actions show junior service members 
it's ok to badmouth and go behind the President's back. The whole concept 
of "lead by example"

Yes I served, 28 years.

Here is to refresh Milley's memory and anyone else thinking about 
badmouthing the President:

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend 
the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and 
domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that 
I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the 
orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the 
Uniform Code of Military Justice.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look 
forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and 
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that 
stupid people won't be offended.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden 
fiasco, President Trump.  

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the 
The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
