Pentagon Removes General Mark Milley's Portrait Only 10 Days After Unveiling
Jan 20, 2025, 07:40 PM
Shortly after President Donald Trump's inauguration, the Pentagon has removed the portrait of General Mark Milley, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, from its hallway. The portrait was unveiled on January 12 in a ceremony overseen by former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin during the final days of President Joe Biden's administration. Witnesses observed that at 12:01 PM, portraits at the Pentagon began to be removed and swapped, and photos show empty hooks where Milley's portrait once hung. Multiple reports from media outlets, including CNN and Reuters, have confirmed the removal. The Pentagon has not provided an official explanation for this action.
