Pentagon removes former general’s portrait

Reuters Published January 21, 2025

WASHINGTON: The Pentagon on Monday removed the portrait of Mark Milley, the retired army general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a move that happened within two hours of President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a question about why the portrait was removed days after its unveiling.

Trump had deep resentment toward Milley, and once called him “slow moving and thinking” and a “moron”. Hours earlier, former president Joe Biden had issued a pre-emptive pardon to Milley and others Trump had targeted for potential retaliation.
