Gen. Milley fired back at Code Pink’s interruption this way:

Milley shouts out Code Pink, says he respects their right to protest. (They clap.) Says rights are bought in soldiers' blood. (They scowl.) pic.twitter.com/1xv19nRMil

Gen. Milley reminds Code Pink in hearing room that right to protest paid for with Army soldiers' blood.

Code Pink responded this way:

Hey @ArmyChiefStaff, we don’t need or want military to fight for our right to protest. We’ll do it ourselves, thank you.
