Last week, Politico reported that some current and former military leaders are freaking out because 124 retired “Flag Officers 4 America” dared to post a public letter stating at the top, “Our Nation is in deep peril.” Politico’s headline described the volunteer veterans’ “Open Letter from Retired Generals and Admirals” as “disturbing and reckless.”
The letter triggered critics by addressing several issues, such as the border crisis, China and Iran, the Keystone Pipeline, crime, freedom of speech, Big Tech, election security, misuse of the military, and a “hard left turn toward Socialism and a Marxist form of tyrannical government.”

No such criticism was heard on Jan. 3 when ten former secretaries of defense published a Washington Post op-ed warning Pentagon officials that they must “refrain from any political actions that undermine the results of the election.”
Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter Rep. Liz Cheney orchestrated the op-ed, which was based on speculation that President Trump might stage a military coup against the incoming Biden administration. Joining Cheney were co-signers James Mattis, Mark Esper, William Cohen, Chuck Hagel, Donald Rumsfeld, Ashton Carter, Leon Panetta, William Perry, and Robert Gates.
Three days later, shocking violence occurred at the U.S. Capitol. Many observers have wondered why it took so long for military reinforcements to arrive in support of the overwhelmed Capitol police. Let’s connect the dots.

In the minds of Washington Wokerati, a modest open letter expressing concern about the future of America, signed by 124 retired military officers, is “disturbing and reckless.” A prominently placed op-ed accusing a sitting president of plotting a military “coup,” however, was perfectly fine. After connecting these dots, what is wrong with this picture?
Comment:
The Americans that protested at the Capitol on Jan. 6th should’ve treated the Capitol the same as the “The Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protesters” treated Seattle, Portland, Kenosha, Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville, Chicago, New York etc....
Perhaps "NeverTrumpers" need to join with the corrupt Democrat 'elties' in DC..? No one in flyover country, Democrat or Republican, would follow them to a drinking fountain if they were dying of thirst.
Dick and Liz - elites for elites... and to hell with the country - exact same mentality as corrupt Democrat 'elites'.
The point is that thanks to the Biden Administration, this country is in a state of crisis with a bunch of bumbling Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Commie ideologists creating a new undealt with crises to distract from an older undealt with crisis.
