More Than 200 Retired Admirals And Generals Endorse Trump

With the United States facing arguably the “most important election since our Nation was founded,” more than 200 retired generals and admirals are endorsing former President Donald Trump for president.
In a letter published Monday morning, Flag Officers 4 America issues a stinging indictment of the failed policies of President Joe Biden and his cackling vice president, Kamala Harris, the Democrats replacement standard bearer following the party’s silent coup in July. The endorsement is also a counter shot at the recent letter from Trump-hating former national security officials endorsing Harris.
Signed by highly respected former high-ranking members of the military who understand as well as anyone the critical necessity of strong leadership, the Flag Officers 4 America letter is sure to draw the fire of the Democratic Party and the accomplice media, as an epistle from the group excoriating the leftists in power did three years ago.
“The undersigned retired Generals and Admirals are endorsing Donald J. Trump for president in 2024 because he is a proven leader who will secure our border, repulse our adversaries, revitalize our economy and keep America safe and strong,” the document opens.
The retired admirals and generals argue America is at a stark crossroads, with the nearly 250-year-old republic facing an existential choice between standing with the constitution and “ its underlying traditional values which have made America great” or continuing down the path to “the deadly abyss of socialism and authoritarian cultural marxism.”
“Today our Nation has never been more divided as the cultural war, supported by the Democratic party, divides our citizens into conflicting groups,” states the letter, signed byhighly decorated commanders such as Maj. General Patrick H. Brady, Maj. General James E. Livingston, and Vice Admiral Howard B. Thorsen.
“Recent evidence is the widespread riots on university campuses with students and faculty supporting terrorist organizations, Hamas and Hezbollah, blatantly flying their flags on American soil and burning our U.S. national flag.”
Recipe for Disaster
The Trump endorsement notes the bipartisan congressional Commission on the National Defense Strategy report, which states that the U.S. is confronting “the most serious and the most challenging threats since the end of World War II.”
“The United States could in short order be drawn into a war across multiple theaters with peer and near-peer adversaries, and it could lose,” the commission warned. Meanwhile, the Heritage Foundation’s “Index of U.S. Military Strength” rated the overall U.S. military position as “weak.”
In short, as America’s military strength diminishes, its adversaries are growing stronger — a recipe for disaster. None of which is surprising,the retired admirals and generals assert, under a Biden-Harris administration that has imposed “divisive social engineering programsembodied in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the expense of warfighting readiness…”
“China, Iran, Russia, North Korea, and global terrorists are rapidly expanding their capabilities and aggressiveness. This did not happen during Donald Trump’s presidency,” the letter argues.
Flag Officers 4 America cite myriad examples of America’s deterioration in recent years, failures that rank among top voter concerns. A wide open border has allowed millions of “unvetted illegals from 160 countries,” including 100,000 Chinese, most of military age, “plus thousands of criminals and terrorists” to pour into the country and “place America at great risk.”
“Future terrorist attacks of some size and U.S. soil are a near certainty,” the letter states.
Soaring inflation has compromised funding for the military, the retired military members assert, with the annual interest rate on the $35 trillion U.S. debt now exceeding the U.S. defense budget.
“For the government itself, this means interest on the debt slicing more and more into the funds available for national spending priorities,” the Council on Foreign Relations wrote in May.
