Ret. Army general says Trump supporters in military need to be kicked out

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.”

Hard to defend the free world with 47 trannys and a Pentagon full of pencil pushers.

I want to say that this is unbelievable, but in today’s politicized military, it is not. beyond sad.

You are watching a plan to incorporate Political Commissars into the military where they will enforce political ideology.

The same is happening with police. They just are calling that particular push “social workers”

Do it!

And Trump support in the military will grow exponentially.

Its already growing beyond any ability the military has to control the spread of Donald Trump support.

It is bastards like him as well as more of the higher ups who want to keep us involved in perpetual, senseless wars at tax payers expense, so that some of these corrupt moneybags can rake in the cash. Trump tried to put an end to it of course this didn’t sit too well with our warmongers and therefore he had to go. You may watch this YouTube movie clip it sheds some light on it.

He’s not real Army. He’s a shrink who taught psych at West Point and is now in academia. He seems to reflect the views most academics have of Trump.

I wonder if the quack has any affiliation with some of the same psychology-related groups as the anti-Kavenaugh quack whackjob Blasey Ford.

This putz served in the American military?

Kolditz, by all appearances, commanded a desk. He was a skydiving instructor for a time at West Point, but this nitwit apparently didn’t lead any combat fighters.

Someone, somewhere, should seriously consider bolstering State National Guards with those rejected by the Biden purge.

When the spaghetti hits the fan it would be nice to know several States have motivated, qualified troops with first hand observation of federal love.

Yeah, because those loyal troops who love this nation and
want to see our leaders abide by the U. S. Constitution
they fight to defend, are the worst kind.

Who comes up with this nonsense?

We actually want troops who want to see this nation
circling the drain? Really? No!

Just wow. And this person was in a leadership position?

It’s really amazing to me how some of these people actually can rise to the General Officer level. While I realize that obtaining rank above O6 involves a lot of political maneuvering, some of these folks really are disgusting in their efforts of self-promotion.

Intel is the key.

I think it’s nice that the democrats, quisling RINOs and communists let us know what they think and who they are, where they live, what they look like and where they work.

This man taught at West Point, poisoning an entire generation of officers. That’s how you get the sight of “cadets” with the raised fist supporting Che or communists and hating our country. The lack of discipline and pork chop platoons of soldiers drinking anti-freeze and just watching the clock.

Tier One operators/soldiers are going to be purged and this will lead to a serious decline in readiness....which is what they want.

Don’t post anything. Don’t join any “organization”. Don’t trust anyone that isn’t family, blood or that you’ve known personally that isn’t compromised.

I think it’s awesome that Biden is president. He is doing exactly what the electorate voted for and I’m sure he and the DOJ will purge the flag officers of any Trump supporters, anyone that does’t go with the gay/trans agenda and bow to the climate change supporters who now must make the environment the #1 threat to our country....

We should post a reading list...

Just replace the Trump supporters with Muslims, homosexuals, pedophiles and transsexuals.

The left Politics destroys everything. The "left" does not have a monopoly on stupid decision-making processes.
