“It is especially intolerable to those of us who have proudly served the nation in uniform that our retirement investments will help its enemies threaten our comrades-in-arms and the country we love,” read the two-page letter sent by the Committee on the Present Danger: China.

“We call on you as the senior military advisors to our Commander-in-Chief to urge President Trump to prevent the Thrift Savings Plan from being tapped by companies tied to the Chinese Communist Party and, thereby, ensure that federal retirees will not wind up financing our foes,” the letter added.

Among the retired military officers who signed it are former Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Jones, former Reagan national security adviser and Vice Adm.
