The Pentagons top general discussed resigning amid criticism over his participation in President Donald Trumps controversial photo op at a Washington church, three defense officials familiar with the matter told NBC News.
Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, apologized over the incident Thursday, saying, "I should not have been there."
The apology came after a tumultuous 10 days for Milley that involved a flash of anger at an Oval Office meeting over the use of active duty troops to quell protests and culminated in him speaking with confidantes about whether he should resign over the staged visit at St. Johns Episcopal Church, the officials said.
The events began on the morning of June 1 following a night of violent protests and looting in Washington that left the historic St. Johns church damaged and national monuments covered in graffiti.
