Flag Officers 4 America, a distinguished assembly of over 200 retired military leaders, has publicly thrown their support behind former President Donald Trump, endorsing him for a potential reelection bid.
In a letter penned on Monday, the group lauded Trump as a "proven leader who will secure our border, repulse our adversaries, revitalize our economy and keep America safe and strong."
According to The Post Millennial, the group's endorsement letter paints a picture of a nation deeply divided, a situation they attribute to the cultural war propagated by the Democratic party. "Today our Nation has never been more divided as the cultural war, supported by the Democratic party, divides our citizens into conflicting groups," the letter reads. The group cites instances of widespread riots on university campuses, where students and faculty openly support terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah, as evidence of this division.
The retired military leaders, including generals from the US Army, Air Force, and Marines, as well as admirals from the US Navy, express concern over the impact of this domestic strife on America's standing in the world. "While this divisive domestic strife is dividing our Country, our foreign enemies have been on the march, taking advantage of the political/social disorder in America," the letter states.
The group points to assessments from the conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation, which has labeled the US military as "weak." They also reference a congressional report warning of America's potential defeat in a war with "peer and near-peer adversaries." The letter emphasizes, These assessments should be shocking to any American. Our national security is in serious jeopardy and our adversaries know it.
The retired military leaders condemn the influence of divisive social engineering programs embodied in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the expense of warfighting readiness. They argue that nations such as China, Iran, Russia, North Korea, and global terrorists are rapidly expanding their capabilities and aggressiveness. This did not happen during Donald Trumps presidency.
The group squarely places the blame for America's precarious situation on the "political policies and actions" of the Biden-Harris administration, with the open borders phenomenon being a primary concern. The letter states, The influx of countless millions of unvetted illegals from 160 countries, including ~100,000 Chinese, most of military age, plus thousands of criminals and terrorists, place America at great risk Border security is national security.
The group echoes Trump's criticism of the Biden-Harris administration for the surge of illegal immigrants crossing the border, including 13,000 convicted murderers and 435,000 individuals with criminal records.
The letter concludes with a poignant question and a call to action: We must ask: Is our national security stronger or weaker today than four years ago? The answer is clear. We urge our fellow Americans to join us in supporting the election of Donald J. Trump for president. Our future is at stake. This endorsement from such a respected group of retired military leaders underscores the ongoing debate about national security and the direction of the country.
