General John Kelly could be the next retired general to rebuke Donald Trump for calling in active duty military in the midst of George Floyd protests as the former chief of staff called the president 'nasty' for his comments about General Jim Mattis.
Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general, defended Trump's former Defense secretary on Thursday after Mattis publicly criticized the president's handling of the nationwide protests.
He also shot down Trump's claim that he fired Mattis in 2018.

Revoke their commission. As civilians they’re free to say anything they please.
Ok, soooo in about 10 weeks, we have had a national lockdown over a virus scare. Prisons were emptied. The economy was crashed. Just as it started to unleash, a series of communist riots were launched. They are protected by the Democrat party and Dem DAs refuse to prosecute rioters.
General Allen and Mattis turncoat and publish OpEds against Trump. Admiral Mullen joins in. Call him a threat to the constitution. SecDef says he has ruled out the use of the military to protect DC or stop riots.
On the same day, Obama goes on TV as an ersatz president.
If I saw this happen in another country, I would immediately recognize a color revolution violent overthrow of the government developing.

Break out the raid
What is not being said is that the generals are afraid that if the troops are called on to repel or shoot rioters, the military will have been drawn into a domestic race conflict. This happened in the 1960s when troops were deployed against race riots in the inner cities. This in turn triggered race fights among troops, incidents of sabotage, refusal to obey orders, and attacks on officers in the field in Vietnam.

After 8 years of Obama’s reign of terror on the officer corps, Trump would have been better served to recall a few reliable general officers from retirement. That would have gotten him through the critical transition period and straightened out the promotion boards.
Since none of them are currently on active service or in the administration it’s hard to view this as a ‘mutiny’. More like disgruntled complaining.
Seven days in June!
The Communists lost badly in the only industrialized Western state they ever tried to take over. Very very bigly.
I loved the America I grew up in, but I hate this current edition.
“The Generals Are saying they dont want to stop protesters.”
Along with all democrats. They all know precisely what Trump said, that he referred to the rioters, and they know precisely that the vast majority want Trump to do it. The coup continues.
Mark Esper was the one who signaled and got the ball rolling with the military. His comment about the Insurrection Act was the main point of why he call the news conference, the rest of what he said, was window dressing. Someone put him up to it. His incoherence during the news conference meant someone made him do it. He is definitely not his own man.
Hopefully, Trump will send his punk ass packing at an opportune moment.
One of Kelly’s creds was his son, killed in action while doing his duty in a far away place. He traded on that, it gave him gravitas and respect.
Kelly dishonors his son’s memory, not just with this cowardly snark, but also when he was Chief of Staff and running interference against the President.
My contempt for these uniformed traitors is beyond measure.
This is why the founders of this country never wanted to have a standing Federal army in the first place.
Trump sure can pick em, can’t he ?
The Military are turning against President Trump. You have Navy and Marine leaders acting like this.
What next, a coup? The military turning on the President. Who would have believed that in America?
Please tell me what is the incident depicted by the GIF you posted.
exactly. a violent overthrow of the President. Military and media all hand in hand and manipulating the people to 66% approval of their planned coup
That pretty much sums it up, well done.
