The portrait of Gen. Mark A. Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was removed from the Pentagon shortly after the new administration took office, indicating a clear stance against the previous leadership and controversies surrounding Milley's tenure.
The removal of General Milley's portrait was described as an early move against what President Trump characterized as a military establishment rife with 'wokeness', showcasing the new administration's intent to reshape military representation.
Former President Trump's critical remarks about General Milley included calling him a 'woke train wreck', emphasizing the president's ongoing discontent with the general's actions and influence during the late stages of Trump's presidency.
The unprecedented act of taking down Milley's portrait reflects the highly politicized environment within the Pentagon, where the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is traditionally viewed as apolitical.
