Daily Princetonian Profiles Brig. General Mark Milley

In an article aptly titled, "The Guy You Want in the Foxhole," The Daily Princetonian profiled classmate Mark Milley today. Describing Milley's career, the article notes,

Milley is the University’s highest ranked alumnus in the armed forces, an honor previously held by Gen. David Petraeus GS ’87. Petraeus succeeded Gen. Stanley McChrystal as Commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan in 2010 before retiring from the army this past August to take up his new role as director of the CIA.

A two-star general, Milley is also the new commander of the famed 10th Mountain Division, based at Fort Drum in Northern New York — and despite having thought about leaving the armed forces over the past three decades, he only keeps advancing.
