The criminal Mark A. Milley was demoted to the rank of private and given a dishonorable discharge before a noose was slipped over his head Friday morning. His medals and ribbons, many of which were unearned and self-awarded, were rescinded.
Like all GITMO detainees scheduled to hang, Milley was offered a last breakfast, which he declined. He said his accomplishments as a patriotic officer had filled his stomach and soul with enough sustenance for a lifetime. However, he requested a safety razor to shave his stubbled face.
At 10:00 a.m., three MPs escorted him from medical, where he had a pre-execution physical, to the gallows where Adm. Crandall stood among a group of officers standing for their respective Armed Forces branch, and an unnamed civilian dressed in a blue suit with a red tie.
The admiral stayed silent until Milley reached the rope.
“Having been found guilty of treason, detainee Mark Milley, you have been sentenced to death to be carried out promptly. We have a chaplain if you want Last Rites. You’re entitled to give a final statement,” the admiral said.
“I will say something: I will never renounce President Biden, the only commander in chief. I have served him and this nation with honor, distinction, and pride. What’s happening here now, what’s been happening, is perverted injustice. You cannot decide what is and is not constitutional, and your kangaroo courts injure this country. I don’t fear death; I’ve never feared it, a fact I’ve proven time and time again. This is murder, plain and simple. If you had balls, any of you, you’d face me in mortal combat—hand-to-hand, knife, or a rifle. But you’re a coward, all cowards, and when your time comes, you’ll die a coward,” Milley said.
As the hangman started placing a sack over Milley’s head, Milley protested: “No, I want you, Del, to look in my eyes.”
“Your choice,” the admiral said.
Before Milley dropped, he blurted a surprising sentence: “Ukraine is the future.”
He was pronounced dead at 11:03 a.m., October 13.
