Former President Donald Trump took aim at Gen. Mark Milley on Wednesday after the ex-chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff recently testified about the chaotic U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Mark Milley is a loser who shamed us in Afghanistan and elsewhere! the presumptive GOP presidential nominee wrote on his Truth Social platform.

The remarks add to Trumps public insults and attacks toward the former top U.S. general, whom Trump suggested should be punished to DEATH for treason in September.

Milley, who has been frequently at odds with Trump, later declared that he wouldnt take an oath to a wannabe dictator in an apparent jab at the former president during his retirement ceremony last year.

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing Tuesday, asked Milley about slander, such as Trumps comments.

I dont agree with the comments, but its a free country and people can say what they want, said Milley before discussing the families of the 13 U.S. troops killed outside Kabuls international airport in 2021.

With all due respect, Im here for the families of Abbey Gate, and Im here for the families of those that served in Afghanistan.
