Hegseth Strips Milley of his Security Detail

U.S. Senator Jack Reed: This week, after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth revoked the security detail for retired General Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2019-2023, and initiated a series of punitive actions against him, U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI), the Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, issued the following statement: "General Milley and other former Trump Administration officials continue to face credible, deadly threats from Iran because they carried out President Trump's order to kill Iranian General Soleimani. It is unconscionable and recklessly negligent for President Trump and Secretary Hegseth to revoke General Milley's security detail for their own political satisfaction. The Administration has placed Milley and his family in grave danger, and they have an obligation to immediately restore his federal protection.

Just take a look at the badges on Gen Milley's uniform. He can handle his own.

But after 43 years of dedicated service to our country he shouldn't have to.

Let's ask the families of the soldiers who died from the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.

If this man of his family gets killed by people like you, people like you are responsible.

You are a remarkably nasty human being.

People like you threatened the man's life and that of his family.

You get security details for that.

Just like Fauci did. You threatened his life and the lives of his family as well.

There is no "norm" anymore.

Can't find anywhere that anything Trumpy does is "normal".

The use of the word "unprecedented" to describe the actions of this administration is ... unprecedented.

FishPawn counts none events as an assassination attempt.

Republicans are nothing more than pathetic victims of their imaginations.

If being in the vicinity of someone that has a gun now qualifies as an "assassination attempt", then we're all constantly under threat of assassination.

Welcome to America, everyone has a gun.

The shooter who killed his targets, while Trump posed for pictures, was political theater and served its purpose,

The second event was literally making a mountain out of a molehill. Some guy in a parking lot has a gun? Welcome to America.

Hogsbreath stripping the security detail of a man such as General Milley? He should be cleaning Milley's toilet with his tongue.
