"One of my bigger concerns is that there has long been a strong Trump following in the military. People in the military have every right to be conservative or extremely conservative. But Trump’s supporters in the military who think that what happened [on Jan. 6] was a good thing need to be managed out of the military as soon as possible. That probably won’t happen until the Trump loyalists are out, but that needs to be done. We’re not talking about half a dozen people. We’re probably talking about thousands across the Department of Defense. Many of them will have already run their mouth, put things on social media." ~ Thomas Kolditz, a retired Army brigadier general who has taught leadership at West Point and the Yale School of Management, and who now runs the Doerr Institute for New Leaders at Rice University.

It's a bit of an old article, but I found it worrisome and makes me believe the bad things are just beginning.

No problem - I’d rather know the name of this traitor vs having him hide in the shadows.

On the contrary, all the dumb backstabbers who are obsessed with attacking and falsely blaming Donald Trump need to be removed, ASAP
In the Military, in the Bureaucracy, AND in Congress

No problem - I’d rather know the name of this traitor vs having him hide in the shadows. Just the tip of the iceberg, I am sure.

General ranks need some cleaning out
Can you even imagine promoting a military purge of citizens who admire and respect our 45th ( and rightfully elected 46th) President?

The Left is insidiously evil.
If the Right doesn't like your views, they may out you, argue with you, boycott you but eventually agree to disagree with you and move on.
But if the Left doesn't like your views, they want to eliminate you from society and public discourse completely.

Never forget.. “They are not after me.. They are after you”. I've always disagreed with this quote, they are after Donald J Trump just as much as they are after us ... maybe more, since they don't really respect us or think we are capable of much. They really haven't seen us in performance mode yet. Have a great day!

Anyone here served with this shitbird? The number of GOs who are vile snobs is amazing. Even in a written article, you can feel the condescension oozing ... yuck. Have a wonderful day!

This guy seems to be more of a pseudo-intellectual academic than a military general. Extrapolating from what he’s saying now, he probably would have called for removing all of those involved in the Boston Tea Party, or who supported an American Revolution. Academics is way too often the fusion of hubris and ignorance.

A Brigadier General needs fragging. I am just grateful he is so full of himself that he couldn't help but show his true colors that offered a glimpse of what's going on out of sight ... I file these little notions away for safekeeping.
Have a beautiful day!
