Trump's Dangerous Rhetoric Threatens Military Leadership and National Security

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg criticized former President Trump for his reported comments to Gen. Mark Milley about a wounded veteran, calling it part of a pattern of attacks on those who serve the country. Buttigieg, a Navy veteran himself, emphasized the importance of respecting and honoring wounded veterans, stating that they deserve more than Trump's disrespectful remarks. He also highlighted the dedication of injured service members who often continue to serve. Trump responded to Milley's interview by attacking him on Truth Social and suggesting he deserved the death penalty for allegedly going behind Trump's back to talk to Chinese counterparts.
