US: Generals Warn Of Divided Military And Possible Civil War In Next U.S. Coup Attempt
« Some might follow orders from the rightful commander in chief, while others might follow the Trumpian loser, » which could trigger civil war, the generals wrote.
Three retired U.S. generals warned in a chilling column Friday that another coup attempt in America in 2024 could divide the military and plunge an unprepared nation into civil war.
“With the country still as divided as ever, we must take steps to prepare for the worst,” wrote former Army Major Gen. Paul Eaton, former Brigadier Gen. Steven Anderson and former Army Major Gen. Antonio Taguba.
As the nation nears the first anniversary of the Capitol riot, the generals 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,” they wrote in The Washington Post.
“In short: We are chilled to our bones at the thought of a coup succeeding next time,” they added.
