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.”

Yep they will fire in Americans. You do realize these kids are the same ones who’ve been indoctrinated in the public school systems, been forced to join the military to avoid jail etc. these are socialist sympathizers who would happily kill Americans for 2 bits and a cup of coffee.
Those who think half or more of military are Republican/conservative are delusional in my opinion.
That was the NKVD “blocking troops” that deployed behind the regular units. The political officers were to indoctrinate the soldiers and keep an eye on the officers.
The military will recruit from BLM/ANTIFA crowd.
General dumbass would kick them out and immediately start the Constitutional Free Army larger than his f’d up Socialist Army overnight. Not to mention the start of a real civil war. What a complete dumbass.

*I know it isn't funny - but really, it is when you think about it! loooosers... Heh heh
Absolutely no doubt whatsoever.
These people cannot get along, it is time to divide the country.
Let me tell you. And history will tell you.
They thought Hitler was a looser also. Then he gained power, Then he gained control over the medical, education, manufacturing and last, he gained control over the military.
The only thing that is different here is, the population is armed.
These people cannot get along, it is time to divide the country.............................................. And do what? Send them aid to bail them out when their states can’t control their spending? This guy is just another political General, a perfumed prince. Duty Honor Country, not Duty Honor Political party. When you have a political Army you call it a Schutz Staffel not the US Army. The Army is not one party’s property, they exist to protect the Constitution, which seems to have become void lately, and protect our nation’s citizens from harm, from within and from afar. Has it ever come to mind that Politicians are not the military’s friends, they are the ones who send them off to foreign wars that are not our business. Well maybe they have a special interest, like they are invested in it some way. Some call it being a conspiracy theory, others may see it as being suspicious. This BG is a psychologist? Do they become experts on the Constitution? LOL, who asked for his opinion? Why is his opinion worth the time. I am sure there are other BGs who may have a different opinion of the situation. I would hope that the military still allowed an open mind in regard to politics. You may vote as you please, your allegiance is to the Constitution and the nation. No one cares who you support, choose the one you feel is the lesser of the 2 evils, and who would have your back.

I was discharged (honorably) in 2001. It was pretty political at that point. I was in during the “don’t ask, don’t tell” period and purging homosexuals was a pretty high priority. It seems like we’re still dealing with that.
Book...”Stalin’s Gift”:
(The NKVD’s main military function was to keep Red Army soldiers facing rather than fleeing the enemy, a task it carried out in its customarily sanguine fashion. The Soviets executed more than 158,000 soldiers for desertion. “In the Red Army,” noted Marshal Georgi Zhukov, “it takes a very brave man to be a coward.”)
Gerbbles - great and funny play on spelling.
They won’t be kicked out. That will not be how this works. If they are deemed a threat charges will be brought against them in a military court or tribunal?
If we think for one moment they are going to discharge these guys, we are the one’s not reading the writing on the wall.
They are preparing to go full ————— on us, the American people.
I am sorry, but we are in very real trouble here. Between the military and the ‘woke’ crowd who we’ve seen to be our teachers, lawyers, and even a few politicians to the neighbor down the street sporting the BLM monologue sign...we are in very real trouble. I estimate less than 6 months from now we won’t recognize ourselves.
Even visiting and posting on FR will be considered an act of treason against the state.
These military men & women will not be kicked out. Re-educated maybe, charged, and imprisoned or killed for ‘treason.’ Biden didn’t mention this crap as part of his “dark winter.”
These lefty whores really do want to start CWII don’t they?
Do they think that Americans are just going to sit back and take it?
Are the Chinese trying to start CW II in America?
Where is the FBI?

Oh, I forgot, they are going down Trump donor lists to see how many people they can arrest.
Retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Thomas Kolditz is a psychologist professor at Yale, and previously had 35 years in the military.
He developed the Leadership institute at West Point, and there is no information as to whether he ever held any other civilian occupation.
He is currently self-employed as a public speaker, is on the public speakers circuit,and resides in Texas.
I believe the article is more about his catching the public eye and self promotion.
What kind of attitude and behavior would you expect from Yale professor ?
