The bus caught fire, but everyone got out safely. Look at these pictures. A student and an adult were taken to the hospital to be checked out. Tonight for the first time, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff general mark milley is responding to shocking comments posted online by donald trump. The former president suggested last friday that the nations highest ranking military officer deserves to be executed for communications the general had with china during the final months of the trump administration. President trump recently said your dealings with china were so egregious, that in times gone by, the punishment would have been death. Thats right. He said that. Thats correct. He is suggesting you be punished by death, the former commander in chief to his former top military adviser. Look, im a soldier. Ive been faithful and loyal to the constitution of the United States 44 1 2 years, and my family and i have sacrificed greatly for this country. My mother and father before them. And, you know, as much as these comments are directed at me, its also directed at the institution of the military. And there is 2. 1 million of us in uniform. And the American People can take to it the bank that all of us, every single one of us, from private to general are loyal to that constitution and will never turn our back on it, no matter if what, no matter the threats, the humiliation, no matter what. If were willing to die for that document, if were willing to deploy to combat, if were willing to lose an arm, a leg, an eye to support and defend that document and protect the American People, then were willing to live for it too. Im not going to comment directly on those things, but i can tell you this military, this soldier, me, will never turn my back on the constitution. For the record, was there anything inappropriate or treasonous about the calls you made to china . Absolutely not, zero, none. It almost seems odd to ask this question, because the former commander in chief seems to be calling for your execution. Are you worried about your safety . Ive got adequate safety precautions. I wish those comments had not been made, but they were, and well take appropriate measures to ensure my safety and the safety of my family. Well have more of an upcoming 60 minutes episode on why general milley thought those calls to china were not only proper, but necessary to avert a war.
