Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Mark Milley: "I wasn't born a four-star general. I have walked the patrols, and been blown up and shot at and RPG'd and everything else. My pain and anger comes from the same as those grieving families. The same as those soldiers that are on the ground. Last night I visited the wounded up in Walter Reed. This is tough stuff. War is hard. It's vicious, it's brutal and it's unforgiving. Yes, we all have pain and anger. When we see what has unfolded over the last 20 years and over the last 20 days, that creates pain and anger. Mine comes from 242 of my soldiers killed in action over 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan. So, yeah, I have that. But I'm a professional soldier. I'm going to contain my pain and anger and continue to execute my mission."
