    Maybe include background about Gen. Milley’s leadership in regards to the lethal disaster of the Afghanistan withdrawal? Maybe talk about his role with censoring Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller?
    Removing the portrait is better for him than a Court Martial, correct?
    Please talk about NATO effect on Putin’s decision to first take Crimea and then restart war in 2022.
    Thank you!

    A game, like keys being remove from a key board. Milley told his Chinese equivalent that if we were to attack he would give them advance warning.

    Remove Milley's security clearance! AND any security from secret service! Maybe the Chinese will give him clearance and security.

    Finally a man talking sense instead of the mindless dribble from so many others, it truly is the art of the deal and like chess Trump is always thinking at least five moves ahead.

    Aside from the overt act, he also said he’d call his counterpart to notify him of an attack. That’s actual treason.
