This nitwit isn’t a real general. He’s an over-promoted social worker.

This sounds like someone Obama would have appointed after long consideration.

The tooth-to-tail ratio (T3R)

My guess is that Trump loyalists are more easily found at the US military's "tooth" and Biden/Harris loyalists in the "tail".

People thinking as this retired Brigadier are the ones who need rooted out of the military. Those with this rank or higher are the ones making much of the decisions in the military & as such, they are particularly dangerous. One of the duties of a good Commander-in-Chief would be to to go through the ranks & get rid of these dangerous men & then promote those who are proven to be true to the U.S.A. I believe MR. Trump was on the right path but needed more time to get the job done. The American people made the right decision in an election that was stolen from them.

If you google this guy, he spent his entire career teaching. Not actually doing. He’s just another elitist in academia who happened to wear a uniform.

“...Many of them will have already run their mouth, put things on social media.” ~ Thomas Kolditz, a retired Army brigadier general ...

Typical Leftist. Runs his mouth criticizing others who “run their mouth”.

Interesting how he characterizes participating in the discussion as "running their mouth". You are absolutely right, there's really not much wriggle room when it comes to how he views conservatives in the ranks.

Have a great day!

I did that and it's interesting that he majors in extremis teaching and leadership, which means he probably sees crises everywhere that need his venerable touch to be solved and save lives. I also noted many media accolades for him ....

Have a great day!

I don't know much consideration would have been given the general, I doubt he even needed any - he fit the bill nice and tight.

Have a wonderful day!

“...until the Trump loyalists are out,...”

after rooting them out there may be a brigade left, if that!!

You are right about Trump running out of time. Bannon said the other day, in a small aside, that the President didn't realize what those in his circle had done to him till several days after the election and called Trump naive. Not a slight, he was being endearing. This makes me believe - heartfully - that when Trump gets back in no one will be safe, and no one will be believed until tested and proven, and he won't hesitate to do what needs to be done - including vacuuming out the bureaucratic ranks of dems and lefties.

Have a great day!

I always think of men like him as the ones whose aftershave enters the room before they do ... and clueless.

Have a great day!

.......everyone, Dr. Thomas Kolditz is not a “REAL” general. He obtained “General” status because of a PHD and 3 Master’s degrees. The closest he ever came to anything of a combat nature was that he was instructor of the West Point Parachute team.

On a bumper sticker, the man is an “Academic” not a “Soldier” so his words should not be given the same weight as someone like, say, Chesty Puller.

This guy seems to be more of a pseudo-intellectual academic than a military general.

His wiki page lists him as having spent 12 years teaching at West Point.

"Kolditz led the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership at the U.S. Military Academy West Point for 12 years, where he was responsible for teaching, research, and outreach activities in Management, Leader Development Science, Psychology, and Sociology. "

This was one of the guys who decided if a cadet will be deemed fit to become an officer. And now you know why the officer ranks are infested with Leftists

and he won’t hesitate to do what needs to be done

and this is precisely why the deep state is so intense in censoring him and keeping him away from getting reelected.

Reading this report in Fortune I had a flashback to the scene in Clint Eastwood’s “the enforcer” where in Harry comments upon police theorists policy. Given the number of these asshats in power in our military, I wonder what happens when someone points a missile at us and says hit the deck.

The question is why would Fortune, ostensibly a business news outlet, produce this garbage. Granted Fortune was sold in a fire sale to a Thai businessman, but what really accounts for this?
