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.”

What kind of attitude and behavior would you expect from Yale professor ?

Something that I would personally want nothing to do with, IMO.

The service personnel purged will make up a fine, trained cadre for the coming correction.

I wish these pro-Trump military people had done something on Jan 20th (or before).
