Results: Donald Trump's attacks on top military officer are 'outrageous,' Pete Buttigieg says
Published on 10/05/2023
Pete Buttigieg, the US transport secretary and a military veteran, has criticized Donald Trump after a report that he sought to bar a severely wounded veteran from public appearances during his presidency.
In an interview with the Atlantic, Mark Milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said Trump had been irritated after Luis Avila – who lost a leg and suffered brain damage after an IED attack in Afghanistan – sang at Milley’s 2019 welcome ceremony.
Cassidy Hutchinson left DC amid ‘security concerns’ after January 6 hearings. “Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded,” Milley said Trump told him after the ceremony. Milley told the Atlantic that Trump said Avila should never appear in public again.

In 2020, the Atlantic reported that Trump had said the Aisne-Marne American cemetery – where more than 2,000 American military members who died in France are buried – was "filled with suckers". The Atlantic reported that Trump had also said the more than 1,800 marines who died at Belleau Wood, the site of a key battle in the first world war, were "suckers" for getting killed.
