More than 200 retired generals and admirals are supporting former President Donald Trump for president in the wake of the argue “most crucial vote since our Nation was founded” in the United States.
Flag Officers 4 America launches a stinging indictment of President Joe Biden’s failed policies in a letter published on Monday morning. Kamala Harris is the Democrats ‘ replacement standard bearer following the party’s silent coup in July. The confirmation also serves as a counterpoint to the current letter from former Trump administration officials who endorsed Harris.  ,
The Flag Officers 4 America email, which was written by highly respected former military leaders who understood the crucial need for strong leadership, is sure to stoke the criticism of the Democratic Party and the media for its letter, which disparages the liberals in power three years ago.
The report states that” the dean retired generals and admirals are endorsing Donald J. Trump for president in 2024 because he is a confirmed leader who did secure our borders, defy our enemies, revive our business, and stay America safe and strong.”  ,
The almost 250-year-old state is facing an existential option, according to the retired generals and generals, between sticking to the constitution and “its underlying traditional values that have made America great” and moving on to” the fatal abyss of socialism and totalitarian social marxism.”
” Now our Nation has never been more divided as the social war, supported by the Democratic party, split our members into conflicting organizations”, states the letter, signed by very decorated leaders such as Maj. General Patrick H. Brady, Maj. General James E. Livingston, and Vice Admiral Howard B. Thorsen. ” New evidence is the common riots on college campuses with students and faculty supporting terrorist companies, Hamas and Hezbollah flags flying clearly on British soil and burning our U.S. national flag,” according to the report.
Recipe for Disaster
According to the National Defense Strategy report, the bipartisan congressional commission notes that the United States is facing” the most serious and challenging threats since 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 programs embodied 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.  ,
The Council on Foreign Relations wrote in May that” for the government itself, this means interest on the debt is slicing more and more into the funds available for national spending priorities.”  ,
The Critical Question
Harris and her running mate, far-left Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz likes to gushing about the 700-plus Trump-hating current and former national security officials who recently penned a letter endorsing the Democrat candidates. Walz has been widely criticized for lying about his military rank and abandoning his unit just before it was deployed to Iraq. The letter was published in leftist mouthpiece, the New York Times.  ,
The companion media praised it as a genuine act of patriotism by a group of swamp creatures who described Trump as a “danger to our national security and our democracy.” The former president, of course, has proved to be a threat to the Deep State, populated by many who signed the letter. Former Central Intelligence Agency director and partisan propagandist John Brennan, one of the infamous 50-plus intelligence officials who falsely claimed the bombshell Hunter Biden laptop story in the New York Post’s publication not long before the 2020 election was a” Russian information campaign,” is among the signatories. In one of the most heinous election interference campaigns in U.S. history, Big Tech and Corporate media, led by the New York Times and the Washington Post, collaborated with these Deep State heinous individuals to silence the story and provide information.  ,
In 2021, the same corporate media outlets attacked the riggedness of the 2020 presidential election, particularly in crucial swing states, in a public letter addressed to Flag Officers 4 America. As we have learned since, they were right to be concerned. In the letter, the retired admirals and generals warned about the Biden-Harris administration’s open border policies, its censoring of speech, its reengagement with Iran in the “flawed Iran Nuclear Deal”, and Biden’s immediate order killing the Keystone Pipeline. Each of those policies has caused disasters both domestically and internationally.  ,
Flag Officers 4 America also issued a warning about the Commander in Chief’s physical and mental state.
The former military leaders wrote at the time,” He must be able to quickly make accurate national security decisions involving life and limb anywhere, day or night.” How appropriate they were to be concerned, as Biden’s cognitive compulsion to debate Trump in late June was clearly demonstrated by the world.  ,
In the end, retired admirals and generals pose the simple but important question that Ronald Reagan’s presidential campaign asked in late October 1980: Are you better off than you were four years ago?  ,
” We must ask:” Is our national security stronger or less strong today than it was four years ago?” The answer is clear”, the letter argues. We urge all of our fellow Americans to support Donald J. Trump’s election as president. Our future is at stake”.
