Defense Minister and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff follow Trump, who walks and walks the protesters around the White House.

"We shouldn't have followed," said Millie Chief of Staff, who accompanied the president's photo taking event.

[Millich/US Chief of Staff: I shouldn't have been there. What accompanied me in such an environment sparked the perception that the military was intervening in domestic politics.]

Peace protests were a constitutional right, and in fact, I was opposed to President Trump.

[Milli-US Chairman: The freedom guaranteed by the Constitution allows citizens to demand change. That's why the military serves citizens.]

Defense Secretary Esper also ordered the investigation to investigate whether it was appropriate for a combat helicopter that flew over the protesters.

Prior to this, he also reacted to President Trump's policy to enter the Union.

The military chief who has been called Yesman faces the president because the internal and external opposition to the military has violated political neutrality.

Even Senator Graham, who has always defended President Trump, has helped him with "deep respect for General Millie and full trust."

The New York Times pointed out that this confrontation is evidence of the most severe civilian division in the United States since the Vietnam War.

There is also an analysis that the internal backlash began in earnest against President Trump, who was focused on splitting amid the double evils of corona and police violence.
