In an interview on “60 Minutes” on Wednesday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley said he will take “appropriate measures” to make sure he and his family are safe in the wake of recent comments made by former President Trump.
Milley’s words come after a Truth Social post by Trump last week calling the chairman a “Woke train wreck” and accusing him of treason, seeming to reference calls made by Milley to China for reassurance at the end of Trump’s term.
“This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!” Trump’s post read. “A war between China and the United States could have been the result of this treasonous act. To be continued!!!”
“I’ve got adequate safety precautions,” the military leader said in response to a question about his concern about his safety from CBS’s Norah O’Donnell.
Standing ground won't help if someone is shooting you from a distance. Or sending you a mail bomb or anthrax. Lots of ways he could be killed, sadly.
Ah, but Miley has friends with tanks.
There is a certain advantage to being a four star general in the US Army in regards to personal safety.
“Not your personal army” comes to mind.
And drones with Hellfire missiles…

The guy is surrounded by a team composed of some of the most elite, highly-trained and experienced security experts on the planet. I don't think he has much to worry about. His security detail will be composed of tier 1 operators; the elite of the elite.
I seriously doubt that. I'm sure he has a secret agent or two for protection, but I think you're making this up.
