The Pentagon on Monday removed the portrait of Mark Milley, the retired Army general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to two Reuters witnesses, 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.

12. How about their oath? Defend the country against foreign and domestic threats?

Anyone of those people in the military who do not understand that trump and his ilk are domestic threats it is because they also are part of the threat.

Look at countries where dictatorship takes hold, the first thing the dictator does is to "recruit" the military by awarding them with part of the loot. Suddenly the high ranks of the military become extremely rich, something very difficult to give up once you have been bought and compromised, and then the extreme violence takes hold, innocent people are tortured and killed just because they don't agree with the regime.

Many examples of that in the World.

19. Right On

Anyone that violates their oath is a traitor. Mark Milley is an American patriot who called out Trump as a Dictator.

9. A famous 20th century dictator removed adversaries from official photos

Visual censorship was exploited in a political context, particularly during the political purges of Joseph Stalin, where the Soviet government attempted to erase some of the purged figures from Soviet history, and took measures which included altering images and destroying film.

why do you think the oligarchy fascist were sitting in front of his cabinet nominees.........why doesn't the media (which has failed this republic because after all they were in the front row seats, just like Orban did in Hungary with the media and the universities ) ask the traitor why he had Orban over at his place to have crumpets and coke, prior to the election..............JFC
