The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
Aside from his inappropriate political critiques, Milley also defied Trump by calling his Chinese counterpart to tell him that he would warn him of a US attack. Such behavior is treasonous and Milley is fortunate that Trump isn't currently planning to prosecute the retired general.
Anti-Trump narrative
This is another part of Trump's vengeful purge of officials who tried to protect the American people from his dictatorial tendencies. It shows that former Pres. Joe Biden was right in issuing Milley with a preemptive pardon so that he would be protected from persecution.
