More retired generals vilifying the military…

I don’t look good in a plate carrier with a belly!
Then the helmet strap looks funny with a double chin?

I wonder if it is more sinister than that. I am seeing a slow ramp up of stories about how 'right wingers' (read: patriotic Americans) might stage an armed coup if Trump doesn't win (read: the election is stolen again) in '24. I consider it possible it is to set the stage for the democrats to use military force in an attempt to retain their power in '24 while blaming Trump and his base. It fits with the pattern of the left projecting what they are really about onto their opponents.

The Jan 6 kangaroo court is just another piece of the same puzzle. I would expect some attempt to render Trump legally unable to run again through court action also

I hope I'm wrong and they step back from the brink. I think betting people will just lie back and take it is not where the smart money is placing its bets

As for the general, he has sold his birthright (and his honor) for a mess o pottage

One of the other threads going about a story of the possibility of the right taking up arms.

Made me think that they are setting the narrative for another stolen election & "the people" not tolerating it.

I've been retired from the military for over a decade now, but I have trouble believing your average enlisted soldier/sailor/airman or junior grade officer is going to be comfortable pointing a gun at civilians just because one side or another "claims" an election was stolen. Corrupt or not, I don't believe any flag officer is charismatic enough to get troops to rebel/stage a coup to save an election. I MIGHT be persuaded that troops might be used to PRESERVE the vote, but not to upset it.
