‘The Military Must Prepare Now for a 2024 Insurrection' – 3 Retired Leftist Generals Warn of a Civil War and ‘Another Coup Attempt' After 2024 Election
2021-12-20
More on this story from two days ago.
[GatewayPundit] Three retired woke Leftist US Generals warned there could be a civil war and ’another coup attempt’ after the 2024 presidential election because of a ’politically divided military.’

Former Army Major General Paul Eaton (Senior Adviser to the now-defunct National Security Network, a progressive Washington, D.C.-based think tank), former Brigadier General Steven Anderson (His New York Times Op-Ed piece, "Save Lives, Save Energy") and former Army Major General Antonio Taguba (forced to retire after acting as a jihadi rights activist) made the claim in a Washington Post op-ed on Friday.

"As we approach the first anniversary of the deadly insurrection at the US Capitol, we — all of us former senior military officials — are increasingly concerned about the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election and the potential for lethal chaos inside our military, which would put all Americans at severe risk," the generals wrote.

"We are chilled to our bones at the thought of a coup succeeding next time," they added.

For the record, nobody involved in the January 6 protest has been charged with the Insurrection Act.
If you listen to someone they will usually tell you their intentions. They intend purge the military and make it theirs.

BTW:Read an article that said so far over 32,000 service personnel have been honorably discharged for refusing to be VAX'd.

Seems the Pro-America side will have a lot of well-trained personnel IF the need arises.

#13  So some retired dude made famous by signing his name to a report decreeing the US Military as treating prisoners without dignity or process, is advocating taking prisoners and treating them without dignity or process.

Nice.

#6  Army Major General Antonio Taguba


(Wikipedia) Taguba is best known for authoring the Taguba Report, an internal United States Army report on abuse of detainees held at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The report was leaked, then published, in 2004.[2] Taguba again made national headlines in June 2008 when he accused the Bush administration of committing war crimes in a preface to a report by Physicians for Human Rights on prisoner abuse and torture in American military prisons.[5]

#5  Former Army Major General Paul Eaton

(WIKIPEDIA) He was then assigned to Iraq as Commanding General of the Coalition Military Assistance Training Team (CMATT), where he was in charge of training the Iraqi military from 2003 to 2004.[4]

Following the first Iraqi army battalion's graduation, their first mission received heavy casualties and raised questions about the efficacy of Iraqi soldiers trained under U.S. supervision. During an initial mission in April 2004 to assist U.S. Marines in Fallujah and under the supervision of a Marine advisory team, the Iraqi soldiers ran from the scene when they first were attacked by insurgents. "The convoy got stalled when one of the IAF soldiers driving one of the trucks simply jumped out and ran, leaving the truck running. This truck struck a civilian vehicle, creating a jam that prevented part of the convoy from moving. About 30 Iraqi soldiers were lost in this ambush. Some simply ran away, some sold their AK-47s and donned civilian clothes, and some had civilian clothes under their uniforms, so they simply took off their uniforms and ran." The Marine advisors managed to salvage the convoy and get them to safety, but with significant casualties. What was a battalion of 695 Iraqi soldiers has been reduced significantly with 30 casualties in the ambush, alongside 8 wounded, 24 combat deserters, 104 mutineers, 78 AWOL (absent without leave) and 170 on leave. This stands in contrast to the support of Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez, the senior U.S. commander in Iraq, whose remarks during the Iraqi battalion's graduation spoke of "high expectations that in fact they would help us bring security and stability back to the country."
