In a January interview with Fortune magazine, retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Thomas Kolditz said supporters of President Donald Trump who thought the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol “was a good thing” need to be kicked out of the military.
“One of my bigger concerns is that there has long been a strong Trump following in the military,” Kolditz told Fortune. “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.”
Kolditz said rooting out “Trump loyalists” may entail pursuing thousands of service members and Department of Defense employees.
“We’re not talking about half a dozen people. We’re probably talking about thousands across the Department of Defense,” he said. “Many of them will have already run their mouth, put things on social media. But this was an insurgency, a crime against the state. And it’s a duty obligation of the defense leadership to make sure that there are no, essentially, sleeper cells, people in the military who, for whatever reason, think an insurgency is a good idea or justifiable.”

What a political ass
The long knives are getting sharpened for the purge.
They already have a racist black general with a fake silver star running things.
Emphasis on retired and irrelevant.
For what? Political affiliation isn’t mentioned in the UCMJ as far as I know.
I guess it isn’t enough that Democrats do everything they can to disenfranchise military absentee ballots, now they want to call them traitors, and boot them out of the military.
there goes about 80% of the military, an about 100% of the combat arms portion.
Kolditz, like the Nazi Prison Camp for POWs?
And this ditz general needs to shut his mentally deformed self up. He's a disgrace to the uniform.
Sounds to me like you're talking about preparing the US military to murder citizens the Democrat NaziCommies don't like.
Fascists never think they’re the fascists.
God bless the troops, but the top brass sucks. The Red Army is alive and well.
I remember some rumour that Obama was requiring a “purity test” and asked the uppers if they were willing to fire on fellow citizens.
So toss out half the pilots, half the submariners and half of special forces. That will do wonders for our defense posture.
Retired Red Army General?
Nope, sir, YOU are the insurgency.
Kolditz is a FRIGGIN’ PSYCHOLOGIST and purports to be an expert in “leadership”. The only good thing about him is that he’s out of the military now. He’s in the process of burnishing his progressive academia credentials.
Half? I think 7/8ths is more like it.
Hey general, in military language FOAD!
