“Your entire general class, they’re left-wing politicians at this point. It’s very hard to become a general without being some kind of left-of-center politician.
“I would love to see all the generals get fired. You take the most conservative colonels, you promote them to general.
“Not because the ideology is important, but because the conservative colonels will be able to leave the ideology aside.
“They just care about an effective fighting force.” – Blake Masters, speaking at a Ladies For Trump luncheon.
At the link you’ll find multiple other instances of Masters calling for firing all US generals.
9/22: “You probably want to fire most or all the generals and replace them with apolitical colonels, who will probably have conservative politics.”
2/22: “It means purging the military of the left-wing generals..There’s a lot of center-right or apolitical colonels”

Masters even cut a campaign video where he proclaimed “our military leadership is totally incompetent,” which Mark Kelly already has in ads.
But this goes far deeper than just dissing the generals.

Ex-GW Bush/Clinton National Security Council member Peter Feaver told me that what Masters is proposing is “close to what Stalin and Putin did.”
“And that didn’t work out well for them. Master’s cure is far worse than the disease.”
