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.”

Stealing that for my tagline.
He’s advocating a purge to achieve ideological purity. I thought our military was ordered to fight against cleansing in other countries in the past. Now its being done right here at home.
Another political general who never fought a day a combat in his life.
“there goes about 80% of the military, an about 100% of the combat arms portion.”
My thoughts too.
I served with this putz in the 101st back in the 90s. He was an arrogant and ambitious dickhead then, and I see he hasn’t changed.
West Pointer. ‘Nuff said.
This is not the US of a few weeks ago
They should leave.
NO retired POS General, we’re talking hundreds of thousands. Suck it!
