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.

That's why I didn't get real real upset as I am wont to do when I read stuff like this. He sounds more like an Anderson Cooper or Stephanoplus or some wafer thin with a gig at some pseudo military outlet.

Have a great day!

But if the Left doesn't like your views, they want to eliminate you from society and public discourse completely.

They want to eliminate us alright.

Nothing of much note happened on Jan 6.

The Jun 2020 antifa event in bethel ohio was similar.

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.

And they also don't hesitate to end someone's mortality just to send a message ... lots of those. \

Have a great day!

Just a retired one twinkler who is disgruntled. May have received a bad OER during Trumps tenure and caused him to reach MRD before he could pin on the second twinkler.

Ha, among the higher ranks, it was Obama loyalists that need rooting out.

We need Constitution loyalists.

I wish I could understand your reply but I am doubly sure I agree with it --- like your tone!

Have a great day!

Yes. MG Gage who spent most of his career I’m colonies and married an American felt the same way.

“...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”.

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?

Six months ago, the answer would have been no. Today, sadly, it's Yes. If we can't get a handle on and deal with this I think all of our worst nightmares will be coming true.

Have a great day!
