He is calling for him to be interviewed and face accountability for his actions. It is inconceivable that a general would go behind the president&#8217;s back and have conversations with perhaps America&#8217;s greatest threat in the modern age. <br \/><br \/>Senator Paul said: &#8220;It should be investigated immediately, today, he should be questioned under oath, if not with a polygraph test, on whether it happened. If it happened, he should be immediately relieved of his duties and court-martialed. You have to find out if it&#8217;s true. This is innuendo and rumor and propaganda, perhaps. But, if it is true he absolutely immediately needs to be removed.&#8221;<br \/><br \/>The general has yet to respond to allegations. However, more information will surface in the ensuing days. If his conversations with China are confirmed, this presents a massive breach in trust between a Commander-in-Chief and his general. This breach of trust is what is so problematic to Senator Paul. Trump has recently commented on this report saying: &#8220;(General Milley) should be replaced with someone who is actually willing to defend our military from the leftist radicals who hate our country and flag.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Photo from: Steve Helber\/AP Photo<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by: Sasha Reva Rand Paul, Senator of Kentucky, is calling for the removal of General Mark Milley if his secret calls to China are confirmed.
