"Mark Milley's Controversial Legacy: From Lightning Rod to Kabul Capitulator"

Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is leaving behind a controversial legacy as he departs from his position. Milley has been praised by some for his political agility and ability to navigate the tumultuous Trump era, while others criticize him for blurring the lines between the military and politics. He faced scrutiny for his actions during the George Floyd protests and his alleged interference in the chain of command. Under the Biden administration, Milley has taken a more traditional role but has still faced criticism from the right for his handling of cultural issues within the military. Despite the controversy, Milley is seen as a career soldier who defended democracy and protected the Constitution.
