The US military must prepare for a possible uprising in 2024
Three retreating US generals warn that there is a risk of an uprising after the 2024 presidential election and call for measures to maintain

Three retired US military generals warned of an uprising or even civil war if the results of the 2024 presidential election were not accepted by some in the military.
Former Major General Paul Eaton, Former Major General Antonio Taguba and Former Brigadier General. Gene. Steven Anderson made the warnings in an op-ed in The Washington Post on Friday.
They wrote that they were “increasingly concerned” about the 2024 elections and the “potential for deadly chaos within our military”.
The generals highlighted the “disturbing number” of veterans and active-duty military personnel who took part in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters — more than 1 in 10 of those accused had a military record.
Since the last election, the generals warned that further unrest and division had developed in the armed forces.
The generals wrote they fear that if 2024 is a contentious election that divides loyalties, there is “the potential for a total collapse of the chain of command along partisan lines”.
