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.”

Is it just me, or are we watching the groundwork being laid for the Democrats to create a new SS that is loyal to them?

This purge crap is past its due date and needs to stop. I’m getting more and more pissed. Part of me is starting to think we should have given them an actual insurgency.

Clearly mentally defective

[tennmountainman]

This General has a NAZI mentality.
If you are NOT pure RAT, you must be eliminated.

The 20 or so actual warfighters left after the purge might be enough to invade Mar-A-Lago, but some of the transgender support staff might have to actually touch guns. :)

“They already have a racist black general with a fake silver star running things,”

I was expecting a military coup when Carter was president. Things might get interesting. The racist black general is setting things up so at the first black flag slaughter event, moves will be made to confiscate guns. Will the American military fire on Americans who resist?

Tooth-to-tail ratio

Great. He'll get us a military that's all-tail, and toothless.

What does this General think of a stolen election?

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat.” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

“The Storming of the Capitol” and supporting President Trump are not the same thing.

[sjmjax]

Must purge the military of anyone unwilling to follow the Democrats program!

The ten stages of genocide are:

classification, symbolisation, discrimination, dehumanisation, organisation, polarisation, preparation, persecution, extermination, and denial.

We're currently in the stages of 6-8.

Purge the Trotskyists!

[unread]

Yeah, that’s what I was think’n.. All military PDJT supporters should just up and leave... Then we can watch all those DC lawyers crap their pants...

[sport]

They are stirring up public opinion now. Just as Gerbbles did against the Jews in Germany during the 1930s. I hope those this is being used against are aware of what is going on.

What does this General think of a stolen election?

Probably thinks it was great. Put another dumb a$$ like him in office.

[JGPhila]

Hard to imagine a “woke” military, but this is what the General wants to happen. Once that is accomplished, then Commisars should be assigned to each unit to ensure no further straying. If the Generals need an example to follow, just look to the former Soviet Red Army for guidance. Hard to believe this guy got to be a One Star.

[JayAr36]

I’m old enough to remember when we had real Generals not wimpy little generals that ki$$ every rear they can find.

[Does so]

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.

It worked for Stalin in the mid-1930s...

'Course those 30,000 had to be buried six feet under ground...

[CodeToad]

Just think, there are more like him left in the military.
