Gen. Mark MIlley:

Milley earned his commission as an armor officer through Princeton’s Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program in 1980.[19]

Milley’s career has included assignments with the 82nd Airborne Division, 5th Special Forces Group,[20] 7th Infantry Division, 2nd Infantry Division, Joint Readiness Training Center, 25th Infantry Division, Operations Staff of the Joint Staff, and a posting as Military Assistant to the Secretary of Defense.[21]

Milley has held multiple command and staff positions in eight divisions and units, including 5th Special Forces Group and 10th Mountain Division, throughout his military career. He served as a commander of ODA 543, a 12-man combat diver-qualified Special Forces team. He commanded 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry, 2nd Infantry Division, in South Korea from 1996 to 1998.[21][22] He served as commander of 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light) from December 2003 to July 2005; deputy commanding general for operations of the 101st Airborne Division from July 2007 to April 2008, and as commanding general of the 10th Mountain Division from November 2011 to December 2012.[23][24][25] Milley commanded III Corps, based at Fort Hood, Texas, from December 2012 to August 2014,[26][27][28] and concurrently the International Security Assistance Force Joint Command from May 2013 to February 2014.[29][30] He served as the commanding general of the United States Army Forces Command at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, from August 2014 to August 2015.[31][32]

From there he went on to be CoS of the army and the CotJCoS

For his role in the assaination of Qasem Soleimani, Iran has issued death threats to Milley, as well as Pompeo and Bolton.

All three have had their security details - felt neccessary due to the Iranian threats - cancelled. Cancelling Milley’s was one of Hegseth’s first actions as Sec of Defense.

Milley has had his portrait taken down at the pentagon.

Fair way to treat a man with 4 decades of military experience, who, as a result of following orders, is receiving death threats from our enemy?

So long, Milley, you Blue Falcon piece of fecal matter! Good luck out there! :rofl:

Calm down.

He’s a trained warrior who rose to the top of his field.

Are you suggesting he can’t defend himself??

trump’s pushing your buttons btw. As usual you go off whining and crying.

So predictable.

Trump did actually take a bullet for his country.

Do you think it’s a fair way to treat the man who is receiving death threats for following Trump’s orders?

7

Is it the honorable way to treat someone who served our country for so long, and so well?

Poor little helpless Milley. :rofl:

It is and suggesting he NEEDS a security detail is rather insulting.

Trump took a bullet. Did Milley?

Nope, but a lot of us took bullets and shrapnel in order to advance Milley’s career. :wink:

Since when do generals get a security detail?

I think I hear Patton laughing somewhere.

Tom Cotton believes the security risk is still there. If that risk is really that strong, security should be retained regardless of Milley’s actions.

Other than that…imagine a subordinate of Milley was talking behind Milley’s back with a Republican congressman about how Milley needed watching. And imagine that subordinate was talking secretly with a Russian officer and promised to let that officer know if Milley intended to attack.
If Milley found out about that, would that subordinate have a problem?

Anybody promoted above O-6 becomes a politician subject to political whims. They know this when they join.

Isn’t that always the way. The generals and muckety mucks stay safe and get all the glory while others earn it for them.

The big lie sold to the average Joe in WW1 was “Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori”. It is glorious to die for ones country.

Easy for those who spouted that as they were smiles away from the front or back home.

That was also inscribed above my training barracks :grinning:

Kind of, but that’s not how this all went down when he was still commanding 10th MTN.

At most, one other person here ever actually served under Milley (and that’s not even likely), much less directly interacted with him in an official capacity. He’s a Blue Falcon of epic proportions.

MAGA Trumpsters did not exist during that time. Doxxing was also more difficult to do back then. Americans respected military leaders during that time…I believe that timeframe may qualify for when America was actually great…at least in this type of scenario.
