Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has informed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff retired Army Gen. Mark Milley that he is revoking his personal security detail and suspending his security clearance, according to senior defense officials. The post Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Pulls General Milley’s Security Detail, Suspends Clearance, Orders Review into His Conduct appeared first on Breitbart.
The main conceptual idea is that newly appointed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is taking action against former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, based on allegations of undermining the chain of command and potentially disloyal conduct.
Hegseth has:
* Revoked Milley's personal security detail and suspended his security clearance: This is a significant disciplinary action taken against a high-ranking military officer.
* Ordered a review by the DoD Inspector General: This review will investigate Milley's actions leading to a potential reopening of his military rank review.
The actions stem from accusations detailed in recent books alleging Milley:
* Considered resigning and undermining President Trump: Milley was reportedly unhappy with Trump and contemplated leaving his post.
* Disrespected the chain of command: He allegedly instructed military officers not to follow Trump's orders without his approval.
* Engaged in inappropriate communication: Milley reportedly referred to Trump negatively and contacted individuals outside of the military chain of command.
In essence, Hegseth is taking a hard line against what he perceives as Milley's disloyalty and defiance of authority, reflecting a potential shift in approach towards past military leadership under the new administration.
