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.”

They are Russia gating conservatives. Same tactics.
Pretty much anyone who has ever voted for Republicans will be removed, which would be about 2/3rds of the force if not more. Of course the Dems would love to cut the military anyway so this would serve as an excuse to do so.
“So toss out half the pilots, half the submariners and half of special forces. That will do wonders for our defense posture.”

And replace them with psychologists/sociologists like Kolditz.
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!

Purge Is The Game!
What good are logistics without combat troops?
WHAT are they so afraid of??
If they believe the JOEBAMA regime really won, why are they so dead set on “getting rid of” Trump supporters??
I think they KNOW Trump WON and they want to stop anyone who might try to foil their CRIMINAL COUP.
Another military voice for the political purge of the military
“Kolditz, like the Nazi Prison Camp for POWs?”
First thing I thought of, too.
...... And ... Replaced with what ... The Girl Scouts????? ...... The problem with Liberals is that they have no concept of .... "Cause .... and... Effect." This General does not see a problem with purging patriotic warriors from the military Ranks .... Our Military would no longer be able to defend the country along a single border let alone fight a war on multiple fronts ....
So now we know this jerk lied when he took an oath to support and defend the Constitution. (Retired Army Officer)
Chinese influence and control runs deep throughout the government - even the military top leaders.
They must be celebrating in Beijing since January 6th.
Is this the real reason they don’t want you to have old tires and cans that don’t work?
The GOOD men will still be here if needed to fight what is wrong.
