Former generals warn of coup, civil war in ’24, call for military purge over fear troops may ‘follow the Trumpian loser’
BizPacReview ^ | Dec. 19, 2021 | Vivek Saxena

Three Trump-obsessed former generals penned a conspiracy theory laden op-ed for The Washington Post late last week warning of a potential coup and civil war in 2024 unless certain steps are taken now to nullify the threat.

These steps include purging the military of those accused of wrongthink, making it “perfectly clear to every member” of America’s armed forces “whom they answer to” and prosecuting any Republican who challenged the 2020 presidential election results.

Written by retired U.S. Army Gen. Paul D. Eaton, retired U.S. Army Major Gen. Antonio M. Taguba and retired U.S. Army Brigadier Gen. Steven M. Anderson, the piece centers around the thesis that after Democrats win the 2024 election, Republicans will install a shadow government.

Here’s what these three retired generals should be writing about:

1. What it’s like to stand in line at the commissary.
2. Their favorite fishing spots.
3. Why they couldn’t beat a bunch of goat herders in 20 years.

What is being overlooked is the fact these generals are retired. This means these mentally imbalanced hacks have served in the military for years so imagine how bad it is currently.

Biden should not have been allowed to take office. Multiple arrest,across media, the govt ECT should have taken place after the last election. It’s time to restore America to pre 1861. Reduce govt and taxes and watch freedom rise and corruption decrease. We must greatly reduce the trillions of dollars govt, to secure our freedom.

That whole thing about the military not getting involved in politics, I guess we’re done with that. We can set aside that tradition, which dates back all the way to Washington intentionally and openly showing deference to the Continental Congress. I’m sure it will be ok. What’s the worst that could happen?

Look to their backgrounds:

Paul D. Eaton - educated at a “progressive” college in Vermont and once worked for the now defunct National Security Network, a progressive think tank.

Antonio Taguba

Brig Gen Anderson

I think all three are in the Bush league.

Then they’ll have virtually no military. So many are right-leaning that it’ll drop the number of enlisted significantly, and a large number of newly-enlisted lefties will be ineffective. Not all, because rage goes a long way, but a lot of the woke are sissified. The trans enlisted will be particularly useless, I’m sure. Cut off their meds and see what hapoens.

I had a long conversation with Retired BG Anderson back in 2018 when he was briefly with Sallyport Global in Iraq. One minute he was the new boss and the next minute he was gone and not sure what happened but it was fast. Anyway, he seemed pretty decent for that conversation. I didn’t get a feel for his political leanings during that conversation but I am alarmed by those who zealously want to prosecute peaceful protestors who were most likely encouraged and set set up by the FBI in an entrapment operation.

Brief encounters with people can leave one with a completely misconstrued impression of them. Especially if they are someone with whom you would normally afford immediately respect due to their status. His status being a high ranking military officer. Completely understandable that you saw nothing out of the ordinary with him, for that would have involved some time together to get a more accurate impression of the man. 🙂
