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.”

Our armed forces have been subverted for decades and now Biden is moving to complete the mess. The "Trans" ridiculousness has been restarted, the "girls in the infantry" idiocy continues, and once again, the Southern Poverty Law Center version of the world is used as a template for wrecking reputations and expelling great soldiers.

We can't afford to have a leadership that does not understand that a fighting force is exactly what it's supposed to be, unhobbled by idiots that want to make it a testing ground for their latest fads.

Oh, good, we’ll have an army of snowflakes. I think a lot of Trump supporters are going to self-eliminate anyway. There are a lot of soldiers who won’t want to serve under Biden.

Democrats do everything they can to disenfranchise military absentee ballots, now they want to call them traitors, and boot them out of the military.

REVIEW THOSE GEORGIA SENATE ELECTION RESULTS

There were a series of fraudulent voting charges here. Were they enforced and corrected before this election took place ? If they weren’t is not a review called for ?
If the Georgia Secretary of State is in charge of voting he has the responsibility of enforcing the state’s regulations as to who votes. And eliminate those from voter lists who don’t qualify.

Assign prosecutors to personally canvass and investigate. Check if military actually voted by asking them. Identify all voters by checking on legal age their residency and citizenship. If found they do not qualify charge Illegals including state visitors known as snowbirds also include any technical computer fraudulent Italian programming testimony when presenting to the court and get these election results tossed.

The rally was a wonderful thing.

The antifa hijacking of it was not.

So the military can have weird misfits like transsexuals and people who don’t acknowledge their own biology, but they can’t have conservatives and/or Trump supporters. What a world we are living in now after 50+ years of acquiescing to Leftist crap poisoning every aspect of our society.

No problem, the trained soldiers you kick out are the ones from the pointy end of the spear. They are always welcome in our loving arms.

Their expertise will be useful!

This is not the US of a few weeks ago!

It has been there for decades.

Now the Trump effect has them losing any concerns about their reality.

Let’s see. We MAGA people have 80 million voters and more than half of the military. Kinda scary for the current administration wouldn’t you say.

This is what they are trying find out:

"Will the American military fire on Americans who resist?"

The sub guys I hang with are a solid 90%.

Oh at least. Trump trash talks like a submariner. Half lies half jokes and deadly serious even when they are joking around.

How about “mostly peaceful” ANTIFA and BLM loyalists in the military, general?

They don’t really care of people are actual Nazis. They just want loyal drones who won’t question an order to shoot Americans.

I’d feel a lot better if I knew more currently serving and retired vets my age and younger that are for Trump—or even conservative. All the ones my age or younger I know are Trump-hating Democrats. I know a couple Trump-supporting vets, but they’re older than me. And I’m no spring chicken!

Who wants the US Army to be a competent and an effective fighting force now??? It is going to be turned in on the US citizenry. We need it to be a clown show...
