Miller reportedly visited troops at Fort Bragg, N.C. and toured the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier on Wednesday. That\u2019s in stark contrast how Milley and other top military officials acted in October, when a number of top brass quarantined themselves after potential coronavirus exposure.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Tata, a Trump loyalist, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.detroitnews.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2020\/08\/03\/trumps-disputed-pentagon-pick-tata-withdraws-nomination-job\/112740172\/\" class=\"icon none\">withdrew his name <\/a>from a nomination for the post after significant Senate opposition that painted him as unqualified and overly partisan.
