   Preemptively pardoned traitor Mark Milley was double-plus unpersoned; this article clears up confusion I had about claimed "Stalinist" tactics after Hegseth became DoD Secretary:

   "He also [in addition to pulling Milley's security detail and ordering an IG to review demoting him] removed an additional portrait of Milley from the Pentagon from his time as Army chief of staff. (An different painting of Milley from his time as chairman was removed from the Pentagon on President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day)."

   "[Democrats whine.]

   "'Accountability is back,' Hegseth said about the move. 'If you actively undermine the chain of command as Gen. Milley did under the previous Trump administration, we are going to review those actions.'"

   The Chief of Staff is not in the chain of command. It goes President -> Secretary of Defense -> unified combatant command(s). The latter are like the Central Command for the sandbox and the Northern Command for North America including Mexico.

   (Whatever Hegseth had planned for immediately afterwords was derailed somewhat when that evening an Army Blackhawk crashed into a passenger jet, the former now confirmed by the NTSB to be flying too high for "route.")

     @ThatWouldBeTelling I'm sorry, what idiot thinks the President isn't in the Chief of Staff's chain of command? Or thinks the President is not the commander of the Chief of staff of the army when the constitution to which they swore allegiance literally says the President is the commander in chief of the military?
