The nation's top military officer on Wednesday refused to comment on reports he had been concerned about former President Trump staging a coup in the final year of his presidency.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley faced questions about the comments attributed to him in the newly published book "I Alone Can Fix It." The book alleges that Milley is reported to have compared Mr. Trump's rhetoric of election fraud to Hitler, saying, "This is a Reichstag moment. The gospel of the Fuhrer."Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
