The nation's most senior military officer has retired. He talks to All Things Considered about Donald Trump, democracy, and whether the U.S. military has been politicized.
Army General Mark Milley, the nation's most senior military officer, has retired after 43 years of service.His four years in that role were defined by a seemingly non-stop series of challenges. There was the end of the 20-year-long U.S. campaign in Afghanistan, rising tensions with China, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.There was also an American president with little regard for the norms that have historically separated politics from the U.S. military.
We have things like the Posse Comitatus Act, it requires the president to make certain judgment calls. So in the case of President Trump, he never actually ordered — made the actual decision and issued the order — to deploy active duty troops on the streets of America.
