The founding fathers warned about standing armies.

A prophecy that has come true.

This is the kind of crap that floated to the surface during Obama’s purge of our best and brightest during his regime.

Stalinesque paranoia. And purges being discussed openly like they’re a good thing. And people being accused of “wrong think”. Nothing has to be peeled away to see the evil; it’s right out where all can see it.

All three were apparently heavily involved as desk soldiers in Bush’s Second Iraq War, speaks for itself.

Until such time as the 2020 Election Theft is fully resolved, I see no point in discussing 2022 or 2024.

It’s painfully obvious that our Votes don’t matter at all.

All three of these turds are heavily invested in Biden and endorsed his campaign last year. Reading that endorsement letter, it is hilarious, yet infuriating, to see how Biden has failed them on all counts, be it his decision making and leadership or his willingness to take responsibility.

So now they are trying another tactic - making up the specter of a coming “coup” that must be preempted. This first involves prosecuting ANY person who raised concerns or doubts about the way the 2020 election was run. This is intended to purge the political ranks of anyone in their way and to intimidate the population from voicing concerns about election fraud in the next election.

Second, they propose re-educating and politically indoctrinating our military members and those who resist will likewise be purged and possibility incarcerated.

This is already happening with COVID vaccine and mask mandates - to exercise the power of the central government to coerce others (military, civilian, and politicians) to obey.

This is sinister. Be ready, Patriots.

Didn’t notice this level of concern after Vindman colluded with Schiff in making up a story to get the President of the United States impeached (in order to protect the openly corrupt Biden from criminal investigation). The communists only wanted to make sure he wouldn’t be disciplined. A soldier who did that to Biden would have these commies trying to send him to death row.

Likewise, AWOL when Milley was sniveling before congress about how sorry he was to have secured the area around the White House so that President Trump could go for a walk without being murdered. Nowhere to be found on the violent protests the day before, or the reports that the protestors were going to take the White House by force, or the pre-coup media stories that the president was hiding in the basement and the military didn’t support him.

Too late!

Obama began the purge over a decade ago, and it continues today.

I repeat my comment on this WaPo Opinion piece from yesterday, albeit via the UK Daily Mail.

In 2019, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) published "General and Flag Officers in the U.S. Armed Forces: Background and Considerations for Congress" In this report, the 2018 count of 'General and Flag Officers' (GFOs) [O-7 to O-10] was listed at 961 on active duty. Given the fact that a 30 year career still results in a retirement in the 50s against a lifespan likely 20+ years longer, I would guess that the count of retired GFOs could easily be 4x of the 961 which gives us ~3,800.

Three retired GFOs is 0.0008 of that estimated count. Just about 5 months ago, after President Biden's 'flying' withdrawal from Afghanistan, an open letter with 120+ GFO signatures was circulated, criticizing the action. At 120 signatories, that breaks out to be 0.0312 of that estimated count.

I would hope that this report by 3 will disappear as fast as the WaPo/MSM disappeared the 120 critics of the earlier action.

“Worse, imagine politicians at the state and federal levels illegally installing a losing candidate as president,” the generals write.”

We can only IMAGINE what that would be like. /s

Purging the military for political purposes can trigger a coup.

Kinda like ‘too many Ukrainians are defending their border, therefore we must invade’.

Probably have the same handlers. They’ve likely been FSB assets since O’s handlers recommended them.

It sounds like the generals are expecting another rigged election; Republicans are doing well in the polls, but the generals seem to think a Dem win is inevitable.

It’s quite disturbing they were military officers.
